Promotion to Cpl

[ArmyRick]

Thats fair. I have a very jurassic view on the rank of corporal and what it should mean/imply. When someone is promoted to cpl I always take them aside to explain how important their rank is and the importance of being an NCO. Its an incredible responsibility etc..

They're polite enough not to roll their eyes infront of me

We have similar views on this issue

My Squadron CWO agrees with advanced promotions, so do all the Sgt/WO/MWOs. I hold regular 1 on 1 with WOs/MWOs and officers, and hold meeting with every other rank levels in group settings and that was never raised as an issue. I will ask specifically in my next set of meetings with them.

I have led north of 200 people at any given time for many years, in various trades (mostly but not all RCAF). I think I have at least some relevant experience in leading people.

I get where you are coming from. We can agree to disagree.
