East end knees-up for Harry and Astrid | Mail Online
I am beginning to wonder why the 'no drinking' whilst training doesn't seem to apply to Harry, no wonder he requires the extra tuition.
Thank you, I can't say I have a great deal of knowledge regarding raves, never having felt the desire to attend one! I do remember the case of Leah Betts who died from drinking too much water after taking Ecstasy.First off, you don't go to a rave to get drunk, that what clubs are for. Raves are endurance exercises and alcohol make you feel tired so ravers mostly stick to water (and ecstasy, truth be told).
We will have to disagree on the residual amounts of alcohol affecting the responses and judgment of anyone, let alone a pilot. If he seriously expects to pass his exams on his own merit and be put into combat, the best time to stop drinking is now. Heavens help us if he is suddenly called for combat duty the morning after another drinking session!If this indeed happened, it most likely happened on the week-end, and I can't see the problem with him partying on his down time.
As long as he doesn't drink in excess, the alcohol in his body will have been expelled though urine and sweat by the time he is back in the cockpit (I know trace amount of alcohol can stay in the body longer than that, but not enough of it to be of any impact on performances).
His learning troubles are most likely to be put down to his very well documented problems with academia, not to his w-e partying.
I can imagine!Thank you, I can't say I have a great deal of knowledge regarding raves, never having felt the desire to attend one!
Case in point really.I do remember the case of Leah Betts who died from drinking too much water after taking Ecstasy.
Timeline and amount are everything.We will have to disagree on the residual amounts of alcohol affecting the responses and judgment of anyone, let alone a pilot. If he seriously expects to pass his exams on his own merit and be put into combat, the best time to stop drinking is now.
There is no way an instructor would let him on a plane with dangerous amount of alcohol in his bloodstream. Prince or no Prince, it's a matter of life and death. So don't worry about that.Heavens help us if he is suddenly called for combat duty the morning after another drinking session!
Ah OK. But the point I was trying to make is that people don't behave the same way in clubs and raves. Ultimately it's a bit irrelevant though, as long as enough time elopes between partying and training.I know that the reference was to another night out but it shows that usually the people in his party are drinking heavily.
He is and so is William. Most week-end at least.I wonder too if Prince Harry is let off the base every weekend and only starts training again on Monday.
^I am sorry, what is a rota Skydragon?
Precisely!A scheduele, a list of the people on camp, and they take it in turns to go off camp. So Harry or William may go off one week and then not be allowed off until everybody else has been off.
I believe?
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Their behavior probably isn't any worse than that of their peers. I used to live in a town with an air base, and the pilots were notorious partiers, drinkers and womanizers. Wills and Harry just have the added "benefit" of all the paparazzi following them.
Perhaps it is different in the US. I have spent quite a lot of time around various airbases, staying with friends and family and have seen very few incidents of pilots drinking/womanizing/partying. That tends to be the unmarried non comms or when the new intake pass out. There have been one or two instances but rare enough that I remember them clearly!Their behavior probably isn't any worse than that of their peers.

I'm more curious how someone active in the protection squad from a decade ago can have such upto the minute access to the princes' private whereabouts.
As to THE rave, one person's "rave" is another's idea of a party with LOTS of friends. I have never heard of a rave with a guest list, they are supposed to be word of mouth, or text (these days), mostly anonymous. If a guest list did exist, it was an invited party.
