Odi SWO
MGD,
i'm sure you remember the infamous SWO with a glass eye, Mr Terry B*****l. He was the epitome of a SWO and the trick was to get on the side of his glass eye as he couldn't always make out if you had long burners or not. the day he caught me most by surprise was when i strolled into MT in coveralls, hands in pockets and long burners - the shock on my face said it all when i realized he wasn't the usual MT chap. swift dressing down commenced. believe he went for the WO commissioning scheme.
SWOs are worth their weight in gold and the mere threat of being seen by the SWO keeps standards higher IMO. and who the hell would sort out Battle of Britain reception blah funerals and parades if they weren't around?
