Questions!
Aug. 11th, 2012 07:13 pmI've been back from vacation for a bit but I haven't even begun trying to catch up. Sorry? Let me know if you've done something awesome. (Lynndyre did something awesome but I'm saving it for another post.)
I've been poking at a Sherlock/Fix Bay'nets crossover and have some military questions, the kind of thing I think is probably common knowledge in the UK but that my Googling has been pretty useless about.
1) Would fellow soldiers address John as "[Rank] Watson," "Doctor Watson" or either/both? It's either/both in the US.
2) Wikipedia tells me that there are pretty much no anti-fraternization rules left in the UK military. I assume that overt relationships between superior and not-superior officers are still subject to rumor and gossip, just like any branch of service, especially those seen as romantic.
3) On the subject of romance, I know gay soldiers are allowed to serve in the military. Is there still underlying prejudices, or is everything pretty much copacetic?
Any help you guys can give me would be great!
