Danny,
I can empathise with you . When I was on Hastings my squadron disbanded ready to become the first Hercules squadron. Some of us were transferred to the sister Squadron which soldiered on with the Hastings.
I had been on the new squadron but a few months when crossing the hanging I was collared by one of the flight commanders with 'you, my office now'.
Once there and standing in front of him he started reading me what turned out to be a confidential report. When he finished he said 'well Sgt X what have you to say to that'. I replied that I was not Sgt X but Sgt Y.
I swear that he was about to contradict me ! Then with a curt 'get out' I was dismissed. I never did get an ACR debrief nor did Sgt X.
This shaped my whole attitude towards those under my command when I was in a position of authority . Naturally I knew all of them but I also memorised their spouses names and kept a crib sheet of their childrens details etc.
No doubt others have similar stories
