Give the guy a break and help him out ffs.

Learn what branches of the RN fall under the fleet air arm umbrella firstly.

The RN website, despite being essentially a **** advert will give you some info. Being proactive and approaching establishments to gain an insight will gain far better results than just having it served on a plate from the likes of here.

I think what you should aim to produce is an explanation of what a fleet air arm squadron is composed of , listing various roles and what different ranks are doing in their assigned roles..Also the fact that some roles can only be fulfilled by people of a certain rank.

Pm me if you want elaboration.

Here is the PO

Thanks to you guys a bit of help from www.dogpile.com I have compiled this,

Petty Officer (Non Commissioned Officer)
When you become a PO, your position in the Navy changes. You become a leader with authority. The rating badge symbolizes delegation of this authority by the Navy. The responsibilities of a petty officer are not always easy to carry out. You have to make decisions, plan jobs, and take the blame if plans go wrong. You have to lead your people, teach them, and correct them. You can’t always be a “good guy.” You have to give orders and that can be harder than following them.

As a petty officer, occasionally you will have to warn, reprimand, or even place personnel on report. Although these tasks may be disagreeable to you, they are part of the responsibility of a PO.

I am not sure about adding this-This rank are not frowned upon when mistakes are made. (I think it needs rewording)

right now just 3 remain

I would appreciate feedback on how accurate this is thanks

It's been a long time, but here goes:

CPO - a senior rating who will lead a team of Petty Officers and junior ratings - perhaps up to twenty. A technical specialist who will have expertise in aircraft sub-systems and their fault-finding and repair, though normally his POs will be doing this. Will be consulted by the engineering officers that he reports to, and very much seen as a colleague.

Sub Lt - bound to be a gash junior officer who is on his first tour. Will have joined as a non-graduate almost certainly, and while he may be given small projects to tackle, he won't be in charge of anything much.

Lt Cdr - a mid-ranking officer who will have a senior role in his unit (sqn/ship) as head of department, or deputy head in a larger ship (eg carrier). Typical FAA role would be Senior Pilot, Senior Obs, Sqn Training officer, or Sqn Engineering Officer. Will play a key role in the planning and execution of missions/ops, and longer term programmes such as work-ups etc. May deputise for Sqn Cmdr at key meetings etc.
