There have been and are RN people on exchange to the RAF and doubtless Army too. I met a bag obs at Wadddington workin on the E3, and I have a friend who is a Flt Ops officer in the air force currently working at sea on a CVS. Answer your question? Also met a Warfare Branch FCer at Coltishall last year working on exchange.

biggles819 - You don't think a "17 year old school leaver" could have more knowledge of battlefield equipment than an officer? Have you heard of training and experience? Do you know what you are talking about?
If it came down to a "school leaver" enlisted intelligence person or a logistics officer trying to discern what military equipment and phase of operations is happening on the ground I know which one I'd rather have! Hint - It's not the logistics officer.
Another point since I'm here. If you are going to have a go at "17 year old school leavers" you should maybe have stayed at school longer given this spelling effort.

Military Aircrew have to be able to spell better than that. Looks like you have some work to do if you want to become one.

Slightly off the point, something I forgot to add in my last post.

biggles819 - If you are under the impression that there is a massive gap in the education level of officers and enlisted personnel nowadays I think in all but the extreme cases you may be flogging a dead horse. It was true 100 years ago, not so now.
For example I am an NCO in the RAAF. My initial education requirements for entry into my trade at the enlisted level were higher than all but Pilot, Navigator and Engineer (who as it happens are commissioned officers). So why am I not commissioned? I can't do this job as an officer...and apart from aircrew this is the only job I'd want to do in the military.

That feels better!
