I have worked with NCA for nearly 30 years now and have nothing but the utmost respect for them, however when you do the IMLC & AMLC and you have very senior GD officers saying that it is a great concern that the NCA don't do these courses. Some may think that they are a load of twaddle however getting 24 FS's on one course proved a real eye opener. The other concerns that these officers had was having spent a long time on a squadron you then faced a ground tour where you were reporting on JR's, now I am not saying you know nothing about report writing (who does), but the Gp Capt who briefed us said 'it is one of our priorities to get ALL SNCO's on to the AMLC & IMLC. However when it comes down to it we are all part of the team and I do not wish to offend anyone, so if I have pls accept my apologies. PS Merry Xmas and a Guid New Year.
