Platoon Sergeants Major only lasted for 2 years for good reason
At least, otherwise we’re pretending that CASWO is the same as a Cmd WO, who’s the same as a SWO, etc.
is CASWO WORAF not commisioned as an OF-2 like the Army Sergeant Majors have been?
Can anyone shed some light as to why this is the case? Always been curious and have yet to find an answer online
Is it not financial? If they hadn’t gone down that route they would’ve been LE Commissioned so it doesn’t put them behind their peers who aren’t selected for that role.
It was a strange decision in the first place “let’s put SNCO’s in Command of Platoons rather than just commissioning them”

This makes sense. Was wondering if it was something to do with QRs and level of authority but pay seems like a reasonable suggestion
That would track wth the SEAC being commisioned as an OF3, as their LE pals would likeley have veen promoted by the end of their ASM/CRAM/WORAF/WONS tour
Pretty sure some if not all of the Army ones are Majors by the time they retire.

Supp 4 is only for AAC pilots, though; for everyone else the top pay is supp 3.
Edit: Well, I say ‘everyone else’ but actually that only applies to supp 3 trades / specialisations. If you’re in supp 1 or 2 you can only get supp 3 pay by re-mustering.
