let's just say there is no way the SAF will waste money letting 1 single person take so many unrelated courses unless he's one of the special forces guys(and even that is a stretch), which he isn't ![]()

and if he took all those courses, he'd have to be an NSF for like, maybe 5 years or something?
i always thought NSF helping the useless occifers are called runners
PA is like OL

no. there was just a shitload of work to be done, including having him dictate emails to me while I sit at his PC and type away.
btw AV, you like F.I.R right? are you going to their concert?
but it was very good training for staff work sia. he'd throw letters to me for drafting a reply, saying stuff like " tell this cb to fuck off and die!" I learnt to be very creative with words ![]()

ok, just on the issue of PAs...not the SAF
PAs can be either secretary types or right hand person
my unc is the latter and he's at the director level
and the best bit...he even has a PA!
