R.A.F. TRAINING

Sta,—Having read your correspondence upon this subject, may I add a few suggestions based upon by personal experience. Unless a trade of "Education Instructor," carrying N.C.O. rank, is mustered as an integral part of the Service, no real progress is possible. Until Educational Officers are granted commissions bearing the same privileges and responsibilities as other branches, no official notice will be taken of .any training scheme. After all Service schemes. call for Service procedure: The present sense of grievance and injustice, engendered by the recent totalitarian alteration of Education Officers' terms of service should be remedied, as this action will defeat its own purpose and hinder the implementation of the whole E.V.T. scheme.—I am, Sir, yours faithfully,

" UNDER PRIVILEGED."
