A little off thread but certainly apocryphal.
Wondered what became of the Ex Squipper WO in the Support Authority at Wyton who took the SWO job at a certain fighter station in Scotland in around 2008/9. He had personal motives for doing so and I did not blame him for wanting to return home to his family. I think they may have been short of volunteers north of the border. He certainly lost a lot of friends amongst the Squipper JNCOs and SNCOs for having his Squipper WO post disestablished hence cut off their career progression. I guess this may have happened sooner or later anyway. It was a toss up between a few posts in the section during the proposed cuts but he really made the decision so easy.


Frankly he was a bully. I am not sure if he would have made a good SWO but I am not qualified to judge. He was not a very good squipper. He was a good beer drinker and fun to be around at times. I would not have taken him on detachment as he was so self centred.


Just wondered how it turned out for him. No names no pack drill.
