Whatever, this small Airforce needs to stick together, you are not separate items you are one.

Airmen or Officers, work together to make this tiny Airforce work, prove to this shambolic Govt. that you are above their devious machinations.

Make it work!

Make it work!

If you do though, you end up with even more cuts because it works with less manpower/spares/money/etc....

Sadly too many are too worried over there about spelling mistakes and punctuation to listen to many new posters views...Somebody could be telling us who really shot JFK but if he used a comma in the wrong place or forgot to hit the Caps Lock button for an i (I) the message would be lost in a hornets nest of correctional 'spears' from the Spelling Nazi Party (SNP....No association)...

That said pretty much everyone is welcome here...even BEagle...

If we had less Officers giving us brilliant visions and ideas then you would probably find that the Airman who WORK TOGETHER get on with the job easier. Normally the Officer corp are a pointless layer of beauracracy that we don't need especially when there is already a WO and/or FS present.

With that brush you tar them all DT_Xtremez_06:

The shame is that it's attitudes like that which will be the Air Force's undoing. Some of them are actually very good at what they do and without them you would probably already be in the Army. A prospect, I might add, which is still WELL within the possibilities for the future. As sad as that may be.

You are talking about at the level at which you work. And you're right to a certain extent, of course some of our SNCOs with years of experience behind them could do a better job in a lot of cases. But that's not the point, the seniors are there to guide them, to teach them, and junior officers are there to learn about man management and the job the lads do at the coalface, as well as provide a degree of leadership. Its an essential stage in their career development. The problem comes when they either fail to listen to their seniors, the seniors have their own set of prerogatives that don't fit with the overall plan, or the junior officer feels the need to make some kind of mark to be recognised above the mass of his contemporaries that are also clamoring for promotion.

I'd argue that visionaries are required within the top tiers of the organisation, otherwise we'd still be adopting a cold war posture, but you probably have a point with the frequency and scale of change we've been subjected to over the past few years.
