Default BUTTT!
Alex I thought that only General Winnington-Ball had the gift of patronage? Or perhaps Lieut-General Spoelstra?

How does one acquire substantive rank these day? Is there an automatic promotion for length of commission, the quality of the licking of the General's boots, or the quantity of boxes of Tim Tams 'donated' to the General's canteen?

Seriously, I wonder whether those who have served their time in MLU longer than I have, and there are many, or have thousands of postings, again more than I have, should be recognised by invitation from the General Staff?
