The Competition for promotion is intense as a WSOp. Time was when each Aircrew trade had its own promotions so EW specialists were not competing with Loadmasters or Rotary crewmen. Now everyone is in one pot and numbers promoted are small. Worse, promotion actually depends not only what you do, but how talented a writer your Reporting Officer is. You could be the best flyer on the base, and also a noted sportsman who spends all his spare time doing charitable works. It won't matter a fig if your one up can't write a perfect report. It's a fact that a lot of Flight Sergeants struggle with report writing, so it's pot luck. As a Junior Officer, your reports will probably be written by a Squadron Leader, who should have had a lot more military leadership and management education to prepare him for that important task.
