We Brits like to confuse, secondment, attachment, placement are all the same thing to the forces. He certainly seems to be enjoying himself and I don't think Cranwell has had so many personel needing to pop in, from various bases, for years. Especially WRAF's for some reason. ![]() Quote:

I wish Prince William well on his course, and hope he will pass the course, it sounds very demanding. |

He should use Rogaine to help keep what he has, and then cut his hair short.

He could have a hair transplant. I'd offer him mine as it's so thick and fabulous but red hair has caused more than enough trouble for the Windsors already.

I have a cross-rank question for our resident Army Guru, Skydragon.
![]() Clarence House release said that William takes the RAF equivalent of his Army rank. So is that why is already Flying Officer before actually gaining his wings? If he had enrolled in the RAF flying course without having his army rank, he would be something else, right? But since he is already a ranked officer in another service, he takes the same rank in RAF? Right? What brought me to wonder about this was a comment to one of the Daily Mail articles. Some guy had complained that the DM was calling him Flying Officer. But in fact, the DM was just calling him what the official release had called him. Clarence House has actually said he is known now as "Flying Officer Wales".

Unlike the army, being a graduate has it's rewards.
Graduates, once they have completed Officer training serve as a Pilot Officer for 2 - 4 weeks and then become (almost without exception) Flying Officers. Non graduates, once they have completed their Officer training, without exception, become Pilot Officers, which is where they will stay for a couple of years, unless they show exceptional progress. As William is a graduate, he has already received his commission (completed his Officer training) and served as a junior officer for the minimum of 2 weeks, he automatically becomes a Flying Officer.

^ Ok, yes, I thought so his commission gives him the advantage. It's the same way in the US. Once you are commissioned officer, it crosses over to all the services if you cross over. BTW, about the military police escort, it's exactly the same way on all US bases, as you describe with RAF Cranwell. When I said "police" escort I meant the military police, on base, not the civilian police.

Or maybe a Captain. That was my favorite rank. If not a Captain, then a full bird.

We hear that Prince William will be doing a "tour" of the Royal Navy in a few months time. After that tour, I don't know what he is planning to do. Normally officers are promoted after several years service at the current rank. |
