mgdaviso,
OK, no plod, I can see that is quite likely, but there is a duty Sgt, and Orderly Officer, and a bunch of guys in the guard room. Same thing applies. You don't need a commission to get a bunch of drunks to go away, just common sense. I rather expect that if your VR(T) bloke had relied on his commission to get a drunk airman to leave his cadets alone the "orficcer" wouldn't have got past first base.
