I know you people already do do a lot of voluntary work, but airshows are such fun it might make for a great weekend. Get you applications in tommorow !
The Harrier that crashed tonight when that pilot took off from the pub was headed to this weekend's Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford.

Zero alcohol-related incidents ?

The campaign may seem like a foreign concept; after all, it’s no great secret alcohol use and military service enjoy a longstanding partnership. Maybe people don’t know what it means to drink responsibly; maybe they’ve never given it any thought. Maybe most people drink sensibly, and it’s just a common misperception that Air Force members are a hard-working, hard-drinking bunch. Whatever the case, Airman ZOT will get the facts out in the open, and allow people to judge for themselves whether its guidelines are worth following.
“The reality is that a small minority of us choose to drink irresponsibly. They are the ones getting into trouble the most – not always, but the most,” Major Brim said. “I don’t think that setting a standard is going to change the behavior of this minority significantly, but I do think that by pointing out that they are the minority, the rest of us can take pride in ourselves and speak up more clearly about the things we do for fun.
