Hilarious,
The airforce always catches crap because most of us were comfortable, go figure.
I say most as the majority of my career was on helicopters and caribou's doing army support living in tents, hootchies and gun pits in on the side of a dirt airfield or paddock in the middle of BFN.
There were times I wish I was posted to a fighter SQN so I could wear raybans, flying jackets and suffer the mere 4 to 5 star accomodation they always seemed to get.
At least we had cold beer.
2 can per man, perday
Perhaps..........
And yes, I miss it.

To answer your question Vince ["do you?"]...Yes. I was a Destroyer Escort Sailor.
