Now that is an interesting comment. Let's! The hypotheses have value IMO and are largely data-driven.

The interview with your father, together with some other things you posted, provided all the data.

True, but you had to actually read that stuff!

I was an Army brat myself, and followed the same pattern.

I watched 'If..." again tonight. Toffs in a British boarding school.

Lindsay Anderson, I think. Good somewhat weird 60s movie.

Yup, my dad was an Army brat. My grandpa enlisted in 1917 and retired in 1949. Lots of Army years.
