    I'd imagine that answer was written by some time serving twat.

      I wasn't been smart I actually was chatting to him today - to be fair he didn't tell me about the promotion but he did mention the word promotion and we did chat about Army stuff -

        There are no AC ranks
        The Air Corps ranks are listed by the MfD but its not in the Defence Act as the Air Corps was still an Army Corps in 1954.

        • I hear that RAdm Mellet had a new slider up yesterday with an extra gold ring on it...
          What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.

            The Act has been amended once or twice since 1954

                        2 really great guys. MP was one of the best Officers I ever served under. MB still puts the heart cross ways in me, it's great to see that the Defence Forces has so many great Officers at Senior level.

                        • the future is indeed bright. Hopefully the next generation of general will succeed in restricting further upward movement in the deadweight types that for too many years maintained the status quo of the old boy network.

                            Great to hear MP got promoted, Im sure he will go to the top in a few years time.

                                I was already aware of it. I was just wondering if it was published in public
