'SNCO's & WO's were treated differently'. I accept that we are all posted by the same desk however, as said before with more and more OOA dets and a shortage of multi tourist Officers why haven't we gone the next step and allow WO's to become LEO's. The WO who can't just now can, if he takes the 'Commissioned WO' route. The final step would be to have a WO on the ATCEB. Heresy I hear you all cry. What about 'career development' for the JO? If the system is under duress why can't we use these experienced people to make life a bit better at some of the units that are struggling. Heard the one about the LEO who because of other duties can't find the time to sit with people. I think we can all rerlate to that these days. I realise it is an old chestnut, but it must be worth looking at again.
