Yes I think that is correct; I joined as a Boy Entrant on 26 Sep 1962 at 15 1/2 and after 18 mths training I was posted into 'adulthood' only to be told by my WO that I was too young to live in the block (16 to a room) so I had to move out and live at home (6mls away) with my Mother (!) and that I couldn't wear the SAC badge for the same reason and I had to wear my Leading Boy Entrant stripe and wheel until I 'became of age'!! At least they didn't pay me as a Boy Entrant! Went aircrew and finally stopped flying at 61 yrs old! 'decided I was too old to fly and threw me out! So I suppose I had the 'worst' of both worlds!
