TN.
For most of us, a sound training both technical and personnel, an RAF career to NCO rank or above, and in my case a civilian career far more successful than my 15 year old peers that were cast out of the same Secondary Modern School in 1952.
Many times I've expressed my thanks that the RAF were leaders in IQ and aptitude tests. They realised that just because I was poorly educated, it did not mean I was stupid, and they could train me and make use of me.
In turn I used that training to my advantage.
