Junior Sergeants, Aircrew Sergeants – universally known to everyone at Finningley as Plastic Sergeants 😀 😀 😀

haha! Yes but everyone was in awe of us as we ran through camp everyday with our pine-poles, gym benches, or sand-filled 5Gal drums during training!
If it was that easy all the blunties would have applied:p
The only time I met real hostility was at Halton where they didn’t have incumbent SNCO Aircrew, they did not like us in the Mess.
Everywhere else there was the usual banter, with the exception of the occasional old hairy in the corner of the bar who took exception to the Air-cadet to Sergeant in 13 weeks promotion time-line
Unfortunately it only takes one visit to the crewman Leader’s office to then drop from Sergeant to Airman 🙁 😡 (see signature below…)
And yes he did have a shiny silver axe sat on his desk as I walked in….
