RAF Regiment.

The easiest way of explaining the RAF Regiment to civvies.......

 

It's like a family: The Royal Navy is the oldest child, Mum and Dad made all their parenting mistakes with him.

The Army is the middle son, they are the explorers who left home and no one cared.

The Royal Marines are the youngest and Mum and Dad let them do whatever they want.

Well, Mum and Dad got a divorce once all the boys had grown up.

Mum got remarried to a rich bloke and quickly gave birth to a fourth son, the Royal Air Force. She loves him the most, showers him with the best toys and buys him whatever he wants. When they go on holiday, they fly first class, stay in five star hotels and enjoy the finest meals. The RAF is spoiled rotten and his three older brothers bitterly resent him for this.

Finally there is the RAF Regiment. The RAF Regiment is the rich stepfathers illegitimate son from a fling with a filthy prostitute during the seven year itch. None of the other brothers think or act like he's part of the family and treat him like the unwanted ginger b@stard stepchild that nobody wants.
