The brit pretty well said it. Close to what I put up with as a newbe.

The old timers in my outfit however wanted you to keep your head
moving all the time (and got give a 3 second opening).

In the "finger four" we flew in, you didn't clear your own tail. One
of the other pilots in flight cleared your tail and you cleared his in
combat (loose) formation.

And the best.
