Colin Hamilton – Students less enthusiastic for the service

Being a Serviceman is far different. To get to Warrant Officer was good. I’d recommend it, I certainly wouldn’t pooh pooh it, even though it has changed. But I watched it change over the 17 years that I taught, and I taught to classes.

Simon: What did you notice in the change then?   

Well, they were less keen, less enthusiastic. They were more interested in their runs ashore and tattoos and whatever. They didn’t seem to have the same attitude that we had in my day.
