I remember at Raf Odious there was an LAC Trade Assistant General that did odd jobs like pot washing in the Messes and also the odd job in the Guardroom........... Nice lad and happy and content in his lowest of the low jobs, chatting to him one day I asked why he had joined up as a TAG and not gone for a trade....... Turned out his Father was a Commanding officer at Tidworth and held the rank of Brigader General or the like and had cajoled his privately educated son into the military against his wishes, in a kick back against his father he had opted for the lowest rank and trade he could find outside the Army and had joined the RAF to wash dishes...............
