Claremont best you do not go anywhere near a Mess Hall or even an Officers Mess, as the gallows/black humour you would encounter is positively offensive, hilarious and blood chilling.
It is one of the ways our brave armed forces get through difficult times.
This is not a Mess Hall, but a Forum with adult, mature women (and a few men).
Quite similar to Junior Drs Mess- I was quite shocked at first.
And you are right, I would have been the worst Officer's wife, and am so grateful my DH, despite very difficult circumstances, did not accept funding by the Armed Forces and straight into Officer's rank when finishing studies.
We can agree and disagree about this war, but jubilatory comments are, in my opinion, totally inappropriate.
