I was having a little think a few weeks ago regarding a issue I was having on my sqn and having a chat with my staff and it struck me that the Wg Cdr of my wing does not have an office He has nowhere to meet, greet and occasionally his staff. Also our WHQ does not have a meeting room, WSOs have to use rooms in an attached ARC for their meetings.
I then continued to ruminate is that the fact in other wings. Observations fellow ACCers please
Shouldn’t need a room for - best one I ever did at Cranditz, I never raised my voice above quiet “close proximity” volume, & expressed my significant displeasure in a very calm manner for about 30 secs… Oh, whilst I can swear in several languages, not a naughty word was uttered!
Exit (RAF Regt to be) student in tears… He subsequently changed branch to Admin Sec. Remaining students shell-shocked. Great motivational way to get things started.
I’d copped him twice whilst walking around on the first 2 days of IOT (get kit / books, attestation, admin faff, etc) for not being shaved. Oh dear, how sad, never mind, he was the first to be interviewed on the “meet your flt cdr” Day One in uniform at 0800 hrs - unshaven.
With a bit of careful “direction & encouragement,” he made the grade.
