Standards don'cha know!
Do officer cadets still require a trilby hat (or het) to raise when in civilian clothes and meeting a member of the DS? If so, what do the gels do?? Sigh, them was the days!

You think that achieving 10.5 on a bleep test and 17 press ups is an acceptable standard of fitness for a member of the armed forces...

Enough to be going on with thank you, so please don't try to 'educate' me. I have spent several years in the purple arena and have the greatest respect for the green and dark blue services, enough so in fact as to be able to enter into this light hearted banter without taking offence. Now cut along, there's a good chap.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
I may be biased but I have the feeling that the Army Officer list has a rather lighter and lacks the vituperative tone of the RAF Officer.
Whilst there are undoubtedly differences in standards I don't believe that there was any resort to fowl language in the former.
