Funnily enough, I was in The RAF for a few months before realising the engineering qualifications weren't quite so recognised in industry as I was led to believe. I was allowed to resign without cost and within a few months signed an apprenticeship with NCB.

So err.. Cranwell is the only one I can tick off your box Terribulus. But at least I did have a military commission, not that I even bothered putting it on my CV. Mind you, we spent time at Cranwell but were billeted down the road at Swinderby, and latterly miles away at Locking. Spanner monkeys mixing with potential aircrew? That'll never do, what?

Tell us about your commission and the lectures you attended eh? I especially enjoyed the ones about men reluctant to drop darts from biplanes through sense of chivalry and fair play whilst below them, waves of men were being unchivalry-less sent over the top to their calculated and approved deaths.

Nutter.
