Finally ...
Getting quite close to a paper what I wrote (sic). In brief:
CDS & CJO - 4*
NATO Officers - 4*/3* - as required by symbolism (stay > the Phlegms)
Service Heads - 3*
So, for the RAF, this would mean:
CinC - 3*
DCinC/AMP - 2*
AOC Pointy Group - 1*
AOC Eating/Rotary/Enablers Group - 1*
AOC Trg & JPA Group -1*
COS Pointy Group - gp capt
COS Eating/Rotary/Enablers Group - gp capt
COS Trg & JPA Group - gp capt
Wing (ie MOB) Commander - wg cdr
Sqn Cdr - sqn ldr
Flt Cdr - flt lt
Lever puller - fg off
OIC coffee bar/nurses & teachers for parties/gaffes/drafting letters of apology - plt off
Chuck in transitional pay & pension relief and Bob ist dein Onkel. Admittedly, I haven’t fully thought the implementation part owing to crushing apathy; however, that’s the shape the Services need to be - provided - the grotesquely bloated Civil Service hierarchy is similarly pruned.
