Done  You sir, are a gentleman. That reminds me of an old saying that went something like: "The Army is full of gentlemen trying to be officers, the Navy is full of officers trying to be gentlemen and the Royal Air Force is full of neither trying to be both." |

If so, come and say hello to the short, spotty lad hitting fuck all and constantly watching everyone else to work out which position to adopt and when to fire.
