What's your favourite Royal Air Force rank?

[@belong53]

The Junior Technician rank (4 bladed propellor) should never have been changed

[@johnp8131]

Agreed, good pay and not too many secondry duties. As a JT at Scampton in the early eighties, I only did "Duty Armourer" for a week, once every six or seven months and no Gate guards. Got a lot more duties when I got my second and third and the money wasn't that much better?

The most common ranks in the RAF are SAC and Flt Lt. CPL's don't do jack and either pass the buck down or the buck upwards. The SGT's do most of the actual supervisory work. All other ranks above SGT are there to stifle anyone from being promoted, hence the term, dead men's shoes. Offiskers below Flt LT are too junior to have any responsibility and any one who is a Sqn Leader or above considers themselves far too important to be bothered by the rest of the RAF donkey's and are only interested in pursuing their next stripe.

The lowest ranks seem changed from what I recall. I hope the AIs are getting it right. 'Aviator' for a start seems very USA. The words used to be 'Airman, Airwoman' ( as in Soldier, Sailor, Airman ), with three-prop blades being Senior Aircraftsman / woman. Junior and Senior Technicians were a parallel line, of more highly qualified techs. Warrant Officer or Station Warrant Officer, never heard of the most senior Warrant in the RAF, perhaps it's new, someone taken to headquarters by an officer, to let him know what's really going on, perhaps? ;-) Marshal of the Royal Air Force ( MRAF ) used to be paralleled by Director Women's Royal Air Force ( DWRAF ), too.

I think there is a Warrant Officer of the the RAF, they have army and navy equivalents too. Similar to the US military who have Sergeant Major of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Space Force. Warrant Officers in the US military are entirely different.
