Can I just stick my head above the parapet and put a good word in for CCF RAF sections? I know the CCF is tiny compared to the ATC (though we are older), but it does seem to have fewer wannabes - perhaps because few of us are true 'volunteers', having been press-ganged by a headmaster desperate to fill the post. Admittedly this can lead to some poorly-motivated VR(T) officers, but they can be weeded out on the one-week course (yes, people do fail this - one did on mine). So far, all the CCF VR(T)s I've come across do a good job and are not in it for the imagined kudos, or the posing around in uniform or in the mess.

Some of them can be spotted as a teacher at 100 paces, mind you...
