I am not complaining mate simply sking a simple question, I have a great many WO and SNCO friends who I admire and am proud to have served with. Sadly there are a few bad aples both sides of a commision. I also don't think that gaining a commision is the be all and end all for a WO or SNCO, many very fine soldiers have elected not to follow that road, or have been beaten by circumstances outside of their control. they remain excellent people who, if they do have to leave the service, are a great loss and often irreplaceable. It is regretable that it reamins the small slightly twisted view that there is a huge divide amongst WO & SNCO and officers. In my view and experience - amongst the better ones nothing is further from the truth and nor will it ever be.
