But perhaps OQ's ... were less obvious amongst some Branches/Specialisations
When I was a Rockape I regarded most GD officers as not real officers at all, being fit only to act as drivers airframe, etc, and not to exercise command.
Of course as soon as I graduated at Stradishall with a brevet on my tunic I realised that in truth I was now a real officer and no longer a thick Rockape
All a matter of where you are looking from!
