Good morning everyone. My first day on this forum.
I’m a SNCO from Hants & IoW Wing and former SNCO in the Army having taken the Queen’s shilling for 25 years.
Former Cadet Warrant officer in Central & East Yorkshire Wing so hello to everyone up in York too.
Looking forward to hearing the banter that i have missed and hopefully meeting some of you over the years.
Stay safe!
Welcome Racing Stick, Good to see more from H&IOW on here.
Welcome to ACC Racing Stick! Ex-Guards, eh?
Ex Guards?
HEED HIS POLISHING WISDOM!
All depends on the Guards Reg 
But seriously welcome always good to see a new face!
Yes guys, ex-Guards for my sin.
Obviously the best Guards Regt, 1 Grenadier Guards.
I know of a CO on my wing that is Ex Grenadier Guards
Terrible. We get everywhere!! Not sure if it’s the done thing to identify Wing or who it is Zinggy? A bit new here!!
Well I wouldnt wanna say any names on here for persec reasons and all that
Understood fella.
He is however a bloody good bloke we often catch up and put the world to rights 
may i ask, given your Army background, what tempted you to the ACO rather than the ACF?
or are you an ex-ATC/CCF Cadet yourself having defected to the the green side and now returning to a Cadet environment wish to return to the blue side?

Cough
As above Guys. Yeah, ex cadet myself. I joined the Army in 1986 and was told by my interviewing officer that my cadet service put me in good stead. I thought maybe the various experiences and quals I had might come in handy to the organisation that basically moulded my youth. Sounds a bit twee, but there you go.
