I think I meant that there was no parental pressure. While dad my think son should be an officer if son thinks that a ranker is better then so be it. In the cases cited there was no pressure from dad.
I was intending my comments as generic rather than aimed at you.
Now for three opposite cases.
1. Daddy was an AVM; son was not selected!
2. Daddy was a ch tech; daddy wanted a son who was an officer. Son was not selected.
3. Daddy was a sqn ldr; son was not selected. In fact son was slung out of the family home. However dad became unemployed not long after for being slung out of the air force.
These all suggest parental pressure to succeed when the desire was not there in the son.
