Dave, I have noticed the same thing myself.
Is it because the confined living spaces endured for days/weeks/months at a time forced us to be tolerant and understanding of others idiosyncrasies and irritations and we carried these traits into civvy life?

Serious arguments onboard were rare and would usually disappear after a few cans (I’m just a lad who missed out on the tot  ), when the participants forgot what they were arguing about.

Anybody got a better theory?

"Golden Rivet" Murray, don`t tell me that you fell for that,was that when you hitched a lift with the senior service---when I said a "lift" I should have said transported-----in all my 20 years I never saw a fallout
on the mess decks---we all had to live together for long periods in confined spaces,and ashore we always looked after our own.
