Yes, the Cosford apprentices DID do 3 years training for their Sparky badges.
If officers are commissioned into a branch, not a trade, then surely the Admin officers (those of the Admin Profession) should push to be allowed to wear Biro badges on their CS95's.
Maybe Gold Biros for those that pass the Accountancy course, Silver for those that produce SRO's and Bronze for the others.
And that would then enable the HR Admin staff to push to have a Pencil for their trade badge. 2B Pencils for those that pass the Accountancy course, HB for those that assist in the production of SRO's and crayons for the others.
Please also remember that NOT all pilots are commisioned, Teeny Weenies have NCO Pilots, so they are commisioned into nothing.
