No more ACs, LACs, and SACs....
I was thinking the same 2 weeks ago when I was running to the bleeps, I'm 53 and have to get to the same level as a 19 year old female! The PTI said there are a lot of rumours of the test going gender free next year.
Shades of Officer Harvey!
However, the question is a bloody good one ............... the army must have solved it surely?
[And dare I wonder if female SWOs in general self-identify as something or other or other]
Nice to know that my hypothesis is correct: I am the only sane person around, and I might just be a figment of someone's imagination.

If that is indeed the case, I’d have the male test reduced slightly and the female one increased. In respect of inclusivity. As long as standards of fitness are not decreased.
My aunt was a WO at, I believe, RAF Wyton. According to my uncle, she was always referred to and addressed as Ma'am Salt.
He was a WO as well and even after he married her always referred to her as Ma'am.
Mind you, we were always polite in those days!!

There remains, I believe, the problem of newly arrived officer addressing female SWO ............ clearly not Mr, and she might be Mrs, Miss or that horrible Ms.
Furthermore, please enlighten this ignorant ancient civilian: what is a signature block? I have mental blocks, writer's blocks and blocks knocked off, but ..........?

Oh my god. ----->>>>> https://gprivate.com/614on
I couldn't differentiate between a female SWO's signature block and that of a male SWO. But, I guess it could look something like this (on a loose minute):
L Baston
Warrant Officer
SWO
Ext 7374

More less a standard sequence I suppose
For the sake of those who are outside of the RAF and probably miss the subtle humour of my "signature block" comment;
Many WOs state in their email signature block what they wish the Officer cadre to address them as - Mr X / Mrs X / Ms X.
In other news, back on thread I'm yet to meet an AS2/AS1 who celebrates the re-branding of their rank! Still finding that "I didn't ask for this" viewpoint.

One good thing about the new ranks is that they will finally put an end to the rank of aircraftman (leading or senior) being incorrectly referred to as aircraftsman, which I suspect has been going on since the rank was first created around a century ago.
How strange, but you are quite correct, in all my time in the RAF I've only ever heard it with the 's' being pronounced. Every day's a school day.
yes, my dad 1939 to 45 always said leading aircraftsman ...... he was i/c a barrage baloon in that rank ...... how times change
