Who R U?
Cant quite get my head around the shiney fleet and the 300 or so SLF! When they step off or jump, they are no longer your responsibility. Army WO2 has his 80 24/7. The WO1 has 300 approx 24/7. I'm all for the equality of trade and bands etc but there has to be an argument that can stand up between all 3 services.
Consider:
One Sqn has one MACR; 4 Flts, therefore 4 FS and so on.....
The arguments are all pointing back towards Cpl cmn. So how about this; A/Sgt min 3-5 yrs, Sgt 5 yrs, FS 5 yrs, WO2 and then MACR?
