Grips my shit this does, and i see it regularly.

a RAF Flt Sgt is an OR-7, so why on earth do they think they are the same as an Army WO2???????

Does their QR's say something different?

Wankers!

What ? Since when ? When I was in crab air the flight sgts never said that, such bullshit.
Oh and by the way QR's are QR's AFAIK

I couldn't agree any more.

Tossers.

The whole lot of them.

And thieving basterds too!

Maybe it comes from the fact that (in certain trades) it goes Sergeant - Chief Tech - FS - WO, which would seem similar to Sgt - Staff Sergeant - WO2 - WO1?

Definately equal to Staff/Colour Sergeant though, the RAF doesn't have a WO2 equivalent.

Had this issue once in the Sgts Mess in Mount Pleasant FI. "You're only an Army Staff Sergeant!"

The discussion ended with one poorly flight sergeant searching the carpet for his recently ejected dental bridge, they all have one, it's a sort of crumple zone built in for when they try this on!

Never forget service seniority! Although, for any skates who may be able to read this, for your info, King Alfred already had an Army before he formed a Navy. He simply marched some of them aboard.

Or does anyone really believe that an Anglo Saxon King simply wandered about the country in the dark ages with a big shiny crown on his head completely on his jack jones?

any stupid thick RAF twat want to disagree with this:

A Warrant Officer is by an Act of Parliament issued a Warrant (hence the term), and no one can take that away other than Parliament. A Flight Sergeant is just that, now I know I'm in another country but our military traditions/customs/rank structure is still the same. Any one who begs to differ is an out and out wanker and doesn't know how the rank structure works, and probably has an inferiority complex. I think remedial recruit training is in order.
