Even before commissioning I wasn't into officer bashing just for the sake of doing it. I have run across good and bad officers and good and bad rankers. (Still have to meet a 'good' airman though

)

Gee, thanks..... so my 13 years as an infanteer doesn't count for anything? The dislike of the airforce is shared by many of us ex-army types who are currently wearing blue but it still stings a bit to hear it from those we respect..... No wonder I hate wearing my uniform in public....

Sorry Steve, that was a jab at Alex. A very good family friend was OC of the Skyhawks parachute team and had more jumps than anyone I knew. On top oif that he had been on the receiving end of unfriendly fire. He wears blue.
I also have a nephew and brother-in-law who wear blue and I respect them and ALL members of the CF, regardless of branch. Please wear your uniform with pride.

No need to apologize, I understand your intent. Guess I shared too much with that last uniform comment (which is true), otherwise I was joking as well.

I have to learn to use the graphics to get my intended tone across as it sounds okay in my head when I type it, but then if I read it again and say it out loud it sounds pretty bitter... sorry, I'll try harder. I can't afford to have everyone upset at me for stuff that I don't intend. Too many misunderstandings lately....
