The concept of OC Eng Wg and OC Admin Wg may be back in, but they are still using wanque-words to describe them in places. On my last station these roles were known as OC Forward Support Wing and OC Base Support Wing respectively.

I recently attended (not through choice) a Human Factors course at another flying base (in the UK, a 9-5 Mon-Fri station). When discussing distractions, and how to avoid them, the SNCO presenting the course took great pride in stating that OC Ops Wg on that station wasn't distracted by e-mails coming in because as part of his "battle rhythm" he only checked his e-mails at two specific times of the working day... The instructor seemed to take great pride in this shining example, personally I could only shake my head in despair....

I wonder if he only answered his phone at certain times of day so as not to disrupt his battle rhythm?
