It is the first
responsibility of
every citizen to
question authority.

I tried that when I was in the RAAF.
With predicable results.......

It didn't work too well for me at school.
10 years later I had the same result in the RAF.
Nowadays I argue with the boss all the time without fear of reprisal.
That's one of the few advantages of running my own business.

It's certainly easier to question the senior management now that Ive got experience and rank on my side. Wouldn't have dreamed about it as a Constable. Don't want to become a Commissioned Officer so I got no fear questioning their decisions now.... and I do.

I went to a school reunion a couple of years ago and just about gave several of my teachers heart attacks when I told them I was in the Police...... they expected me to be on the other side of the fence so to speak.....but you know what they say, it takes a crook to catch a crook ......Haa Haaaa, Haaaaa
