You are correct Terribulus. I was pre commission technically speaking, but gained rank at the outset of engineering college training at Locking, so other ranks did have to salute my twathat. Passing out was at Cranwell prior to that. The only night I or many others ever spent there.

Officer cadets / trainees / recruits were also billeted at Swinderby by the way. I know that not because of reading history or Wikipedia as you must have but looking at the photo outside Gibson block at Swinderby that is on the wall of my study. My lads still think it funny that their old man once considered a military career. Thinking back, it is a waste of your life. Glad I saw the light when I did, even if my reasoning was more on the academic argument than getting a thrill out of killing people. I've been proud to be labelled as a pacifist ever since.

I suppose you are so used to telling little fibs to reiterate your false premise that you think others lie too. Sad fucker.
