"Snco's of all trades (and don't get me wrong, many are a fine bunch)carry out the wishes of their officers "
Just how many years have you done (or not done, as the case may be)?. As the above crass statement is wide of the mark and shows a great deal of ignorance. Of course, it does vary from trade to trade, but my officers just sign the bottom of reports which I have written. They have no input to the content. I work and they sit on their arses. I most certainly don't carry out their wishes. In fact, they come to me for my advice, which is how it should be. For the most part, SNCOs do indeed run this Air Force.
