Did he do it outside the RAF (driving school) or get in service tutoring? This is where I like the army for one of many reasons- they teach you everything! :)

Like I don't know that! :wink:

I was at Fairford this year, had a chat with the army. I was told I'd like RAF more than army because of the accomodation, pay, food, lifestyle. I asked what he meant by lifestyle, he said that in the RAF there is a healthy balance of guys and girls (was he gay?!Bi?! :o ), people don't call you "mate" 24/7-365 days a year, it's a wider social world (I think he meant the whole guys/girls thing again... :o ). I just nodded my head like a good doggy and wondered where he went funny....when....and why. :o

I hate to say this but that is probably more of a reflection on you than any of the armed forces. :o
There are are two kinds of people:

Those who say to god, "Thy will be done", and those to whom god says, "Alright then, have it your way".

They are called penguins because they can't fly but want to. It's a common known name used to describe the jealosy of those who work on the ground.
