After 11 years as a civilian and TA Officer (not necessarily in that order) I returned to the RAF, but in the Admin Sec Branch, as a flt lt with no seniority. My first F1369 debrief from my OC Admin, who had filled every rank in TG 17 from SAC to WO, then made wg cdr started as follows " Flt Lt W is an ex Cranwell cadet, and it shows in all he does." One of the best moments of my life.
