Please lighten up... You've fallen straight into my evil SNCO trap. For 99% of info' you are given by a SNCOs, 1% is most likely a wind up (calculated to embarrass, but not dangerous). Your job, bearing in mind you are well educated, have a degree and been in charge of 6 people, is to work out which is which. Of course the aircrew will like you, so will the ground crew and so will the cooks and so will the admin staff etc etc provided you give them something to like. Attitude and respect my future officer friend. Attitude to those above, below and of course your peers is what makes everything work. Look at your early posts as an outsider. Based on what you said about 24 weeks training etc would you like you? If the answers maybe not then we are all in with a chance. If however, you answer yes then if we should ever meet on a busy SH Sqn in a far dusty land then as the song goes 'there may be trouble ahead' You'll be fine. Just don't take yourself to seriously. Anyway us SNECs love a fresh BEngO...great sport on those long night shifts!!
