    That is due to the report on the AMC.

      It also opens up a brand new full Col's slot for the boys.

      funny how there is always a silver lining for some folks-
      Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
      Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
      The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
      The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
      The best lack all conviction, while the worst
      Are full of passionate intensity.

        Plus with less pay than the person they were replacing (as it was a tech officer post).

          So is he wearing an army uniform now or is he still AC with some sort of new rank marking? Anyone any photos?

            Interesting one. I would imagine he would stay AC but the current AC rank markings only go up as far as Brig Gen (http://www.military.ie/aircorps/unif...orpsposter.pdf). They would need to add a fifth ring or think up some new way of marking a modern (AC) major general.

              Bar and a Half would be the accepted rank marking for that level.(OF-7). They seem to follow the RAF style, so the rank of Air Vice Marshall would be similar.


              Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                    He was in the Naval Base today for the Commissioning Ceremony. Hopefully photos of the event will tell all.

                      He was wearing blue and it looks like a new rank marking has been created. On his sleeve was the solid large white band with a seperate white stripe above it. I have just checked military.ie and the brigadier general Air Corps rank marking looks like it is just the large solid white band.
