Officers are suave, debonair individuals with a taste for fine wines and high living. We are all well read, were educated at vast expense at the finest private schools and all have swollen bank accounts that can more than accommodate our ceaseless desire for Krug and caviar.
SNCOs are frightful types who spend their lives swilling meths from bottles in brown paper bags and stealing the scraps that fall from the officers’ plates. They can often be found, of an evening, having fights with broken bottles outside the NAAFI.
Fortunately, as an officer we are allowed to execute up to 3 of these despicable beings a year. Hence the requirement to carry the trusty Service Revolver at all times. This allows for many quiet evenings of opera and visiting art gallerys down route - evenings that would be otherwise ruined by the drunken ramblings of one of these terrible individuals. Well worth the paperwork I think you’ll agree.
All the best at OASC.
If they do ask about the difference between officers and Snecs then reel off the above.
If they press you further, you can say that we get different hats.
PS. Anything about leadership is a red herring.
I’m off to thrash an airman for insubordination or something.
pip pip!
