Err. It was Pilot Officer actually Terribulus. I know you wish matters to be accurate. I did get Queen's Commission after basic training but this was, or at least used to be, suspended until after a period of role training, in my case at Locking. My "character on discharge certainly gave rank, even though I never really saw myself as anything other than an officer cadet. The spit and polish was boring, drill a pain in the arse and the only bits I really enjoyed were cross country and when they put us a CS chamber and made us change gas mask cartridges. No sinus problems for months after that fucker.

It really pisses you off doesn't it? Waffling on about officer lectures that you have no idea of and then finding at least one person here, maybe others, were the sort whose uniform you'd have to salute. Don't worry, I thought it old fashioned bollocks. I was there for the engineering not the handlebar moustache.

A blend of malts is still a blend, you old fool.
