Had cause to visit the Canadians to look at their experiences, to see if there was scope to 'read across'. Found that they all wear similar uniforms, can't be promoted abover SO2 unless bi-lingual, and have all remained in their 'own' service. Specialist knowledge was quoted as a requirement.
I think you will find that most SO2s and above are bi-lingual in the British Armed Forces. They all speak english and total and utter bks!!!

I do not think the RAF should be disbanded, but it certainly needs a good kick up the arse.
