Airman tendencies - as it was explained to me by my Flt Cdr about 8 years ago; is any behaviour unbecoming of a junior officer. I was being pulled apart at the time for saying "cock-up" during a lead on IOT. I was written-up for using "language found in the crew room." The phrase airman tendencies is misleading IMO; you can have graduate displaying un-officer like qualities, yet because of his background he would not be written up as showing airman tendencies. The officer corps is a profession that demands certain standards of behaviour, not a particular class segment.
