No more ACs, LACs, and SACs....
 
So from July we have Air Recruits and Air Specialists class 1 and 2......

That won't offend anyone in or out will it?

According to the RAF Web page, it looks like the roles of NCA have been changed.

"RAF Non-Commissioned Aircrew fly aircraft and helicopters to carry out air patrols over the UK. ...."

Well now that you ask...on here, highly likely...this will be reflected in the number of pages of course.

All I can say, is, the RAF abolished the best rank it ever had many years ago....J/T

Surely "Specialist" sounds like it has been borrowed from the cousins, or is the light blue half way to being "Special Forces"?

So SAC and SAC Tech that replaced JT are to be one? How will that work? If true another waste of money.

I cannot find anything about it on the RAF website BTW.

so is this a specialist operation or will it be an internal war? :E

Ah but Nutty they've thought about this....Air Specialist Technician....

Chief to go next, along with Master, due to the inference of superiority. You saw it here first.

NutLoose 4th Jun 2022 11:45

So Air Specialist Marshall and Specialist of the Air Staff in that case ?

and what about Chief of Staff Personnel and Air Secretary

langleybaston 4th Jun 2022 11:46

What about the badges, two-blade and three-blade?

langleybaston 4th Jun 2022 11:48

Who dreams up this crap? Worth an OBE at least, of course.

NutLoose 4th Jun 2022 11:50

What pisses me off is they bleat on about budgets but this crap will cost a fortune, just as the JT changes did, all literature will need to be changed etc for what?

Just take comfort in the fact that 37 people in the RAF now feel much happier and can spend less time being offended....

Maybe now they can show us they're interested in solving the bigger issues....

O4FS!

IMHO It’s a complete and utter waste of time and money!

However, I suppose it’s good to see the RAF has enough spare cash to go this route, what with increased NATO commitments and a major war on our doorstep.

…..Or is it just more the whim of #WokeWiggy@Work?


🤬

Pass the popcorn, so I can sit here and watch all the usual suspects implode with rage...

LBN Wash your mouth out!

There will be NO identifying badges, of course.

How can you have equality if one specialist aviator has only 2 blades and another has 3….it would be soooooooo unfair.
