      Lad culture is a disease that should have been wiped out 30 (more than, but 30 at the least) years ago. Have fun, get drunk, be young (at heart) and carefree… BUT if that involves harassing others, exposing yourself, being a general nuisance, GFY.

      Have you met the military?

      I see the problem now with the royal family’s insistance to substitute military service for a real world education.

        Never heard of that to be combat related. I would even argue that those people are more closed up.

          Yeah, I’ve witnessed all kinds of erratic behaviour from the other vets. I would argue that vets are less likely to share their trauma with you, but some of them are dicks and some no longer have good impulse control (which doesn’t excuse their actions).

          I think the pilot was justly dealt with. But lets not pretend not talking is the only negative behaviour mentally unwell people engage in.

            Would be interesting to get some insight in this topic. Too bad you get downvoted like that, what is wrong with these people too?

        Still doesn’t make it acceptable to wave your bollocks about at a party.

    "Aldridge, 39, exposed himself immediately after overhearing the two women complain servicemen had previously flashed at them.

    Capt Rebecca Slee, prosecuting, said: “They had talked about previous incidents of exposure, and said they hoped nothing like that would happen tonight.

    “Flt Lt Aldridge was at the bar and overheard the conversation. He then exposed his testicles and put them on the bar.”

      What kind of Stretch-Armstrong-ass motherfucker do you have to be in order to be able to put just your balls on the bar?

    As a Scot, it amuses me no end that the thumbnail has a sign saying “Baws Come Down” 😂

    You really would think that would go without saying wouldn’t you, but no, grown adults have to actually be told by a judge that it is wrong and not ‘bants’ to get your bollocks out in public. When you’ve just heard some bar staff saying ‘i hope no one gets their bollocks out tonight’.

    FFS.

    England, Britain’s only female military judge

    Her name is England, but it’s written like England is a lesser-known village in Britain.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A military judge has said RAF officers must stop exposing themselves to female colleagues, describing such behaviour as arrogant, juvenile, immature and not funny.

    Assistant judge advocate general Jane England spoke as she dismissed an officer for exposing himself to two civilian female bar staff as they worked at a military party.

    Flt Lt Richard Aldridge, who had served in Iraq and Syria, was found guilty at a court martial of placing his testicles on a bar during a summer ball.

    England, Britain’s only female military judge, said: “This is not the first case involving a male Royal Air Force officer at the mess.

    During his trial at Bulford in Wiltshire, the military court heard the incident happened during an officers’ mess event Aldridge helped organise at MoD Boscombe Down, near Amesbury.

    At the sentencing hearing, prosecutor Maj James Eveleigh said the services have a “zero tolerance approach to sexual offences and inappropriate behaviour”.
