You're ex-forces (military). You cannot be a shrinking violet and live 
in that environment. Unfortunately most people in civvy street don't 
understand.
Working offshore it was not out of place to ask someone who was being 
medevaced if you could have their locker or what size boots they wore.

A good friend of mine was shocked after telling me that she had a couple 
of dodgy flights. When I said. "Remind me not to fly with you."
That was before she knew me properly.
It was also another country where saying that I was so hungry I could 
eat a horse. Silenced the company.

What! What did I say wrong? :)
