The only story, which springs to mind, is an urban myth from long ago.

Many may have heard it, its the one about the young airman on the morning of the AOC's AFI, The SWO calls him over and orders him to go to the main gate and watch for the AOC arriving and to let him know as soon as he turns up. The young lad waits at the main gate and eventually a couple of cars pull round the corner, the young man instinctively walks to the right vehicle and wraps on the window. The window is wound down and he asks, excuse me sir, are you the AOC, the officer in the front passenger seat says; no young chap, he's sat behind me. The AOC already leaning forward, interrupts, yes young man I'm the AOC what's the problem? The young airman sucks in through his teeth and says; watch it mate the SWO's after you and 'e aint 'appy.

Best I can do for now!

Oh by the way Leon; What did they need SWOs for before the days of Natioal Service then.
