I thought my use of the word "correct" would be like raising the
proverbial red flag in front of a bull and I wasn‘t disappointed you
rose to the bait to mix metaphores. I, not a current serving member,
have no recent personal experience, just am told by many that the system
works better than it did obviously I‘ve been talking only to those who
have not been screwed but some Sr NCOs/Offrswho either have no
problems or their heads in the sand. Many of those who get screwd
quietly leave and that‘s the real pity.

I thought my use of the word "correct" would be like raising the
proverbial red flag in front of a bull and I wasn‘t disappointed you
rose to the bait to mix metaphores. I, not a current serving member,
have no recent personal experience, just am told by many that the system
works better than it did obviously I‘ve been talking only to those who
have not been screwed but some Sr NCOs/Offrswho either have no
problems or their heads in the sand. Many of those who get screwd
quietly leave and that‘s the real pity.
