Could the above explain why BD had to leave flying?(1)

When a member of the military is relieved of duty due to PTSD, it is
never referred to as being "kicked out".

The only people here who have inferred that from BD's own words are
the SCUM Of Usenet: A vicious psychopath and a hateful bitch whose
cancer seems to have eaten away her humanity along with her ####. The
few other mental midgets who seemingly agree with those two are mere
lemmings, following Duck#### over the edge of the cliff.

(1) More about BoaterDaveTJ:

Joined the Royal Navy as an Artificer Apprentice in 1962. Studied
Control Engineering for 5 years (when computers I worked with had
thermionic valves!). I was promoted and attended BRNC Dartmouth in 1967.
Flying training as a pilot thereafter. Flew Jet Provost, twin and single
seat Hawker Hunters and a Buccaneer. Stopped when the "powers that be"
thought I might kill someone 'other than the enemy' (myself and/or my
crew!). Still within the RN, retrained and served as an ATCO (Air
Traffic Control Officer). Left in 1983 under voluntary redundancy terms
with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Thereafter, I became a qualified
Independent Financial Adviser and worked for Marsh Inc here in the UK
and became a Divisional Director. Retired again! (early - 53) in 1999
with the intention of working for myself or, perhaps, a small local firm
with less stressful demands. Tragically, however, my younger son, Nick,
suddenly collapsed and died in Jan 99 - no cause for his death was
found. My wife and I were totally devastated. We bought a narrowboat of
our own (we had had a share in one previously) and set out to more fully
explore the English waterways; it has been highly therapeutic yet we are
still coming to terms with our loss. Therafter I decided that 'work'
would be a four letter word ................. and I remain retired!
