Nonsense, which of them ever laid down their life for Ghana? The people laying down their life for Ghana are the teachers, nurses, etc. Most soldiers are idle, killing time with women and gyama.

I have no doubts this 2 pilots are the ones piloting the president around with Sewa Broni.
So they have to be promoted at all costs.

I'm also wondering the same, but it could be they are referring to them assuming captainship over a particular aircraft or fleet, most likely the VVIP presidential fleet. O perhaps the current airforce commander who used to be the main man is gradually ceding his captainship role to his copilots because he is now busier with command duties. But then, I'm curious about the silver and gold rings. SINCE When? Didn't even the pioneer pilots of the Ghana airforce retire with the traditional cotton black and white wings? Even the deceased airforce generals who saw action in the Congo, Liberia ECOMOG, Burkina Faso/Mali war were buried with only one wing ie. the cotton black and white one, pinned to their left chest. Now, Ghana airforce pilots pin two wings on their chest, left and right. FOR WHATTTT? Hahahaha. Tweeeeakai. For goodness sake, even C-17 Globe master, B-52 bomber pilots still wear only one wing, aaaaall the way into their graves. Gradually, villagers have crawled their way into the services. This is even made easier because we have our current CinC to be a drooling, wee puffing, certificateless vagabond of a fake Takashi lawyer, villager,

Captain is the "Pilot-in-Command. That is, the senior of the pilots flying a plane at any given time. They're now in charge of every flight they embark on and will sit on the left hand side in the cockpit. They're no longer co-pilots who sit on the right hand side of the cockpit of a plane. That's what makes them Captains, meaning in charge of their flights.

I'm not sure of Baileys ethnicity, but, if he was born in Ghana, I don't have a problem with him contributing to the land of his birth. The problem arises when such people exhibit questionable loyalty. Air Marshall Sampson - Oje, by his name, is most probably of nigerian extraction with mother probably being Ghanaian, but, he gave off his 100%. The only problem I still have with him is how, during his reign, the epaulets (ranks) on the shoulders of officers were changed into something tooooo busy for the eye. Now you see the traditional stripes, which have become unnecessarily golden, with a wing, crown, stars, or sword attached, aaaalll on the same epaulets on the shoulder. FOR WHAT HAAA? Ooh no. Even the British whom we inherited ranks from, haven't done this mess. After a careful study, it appears this mess was copied from the Nigerian airforce. And this is where your issue about foreigners becomes relevant. I'm not saying Sampson Oje did it, because it could have come from his CDS. You and I were not there. Let's hope Bailey will not bring cattle to graze on the grass between the Airforce station and Kotoka. Akuffo Addo has reduced the armed forces into an efuom ekurase korpheme institution. WHY? O Lord have MERCY oporas.

Oh oh oh Ghana. Gone are the days when such news was only available within military circles. So, on our way home from school, we'll gather around a photo gallery board situated near the Public Relations directorate, just after the round about at the command gate, and look at interesting pictures. There was also AFNEWS ie. Armed Forces News for news related to armed forces activities. Now dierr, even P and P sef has the audacity to publish military news, how much less ghanaweb? Tsrese, the country has fallen into the hands of villagers such that any Tom dick and Harry can just do anything. No wonder a forking Kasoa civilian can just shoot a whole corporal to death, only to emerge that the civilian was a national security operative. Such a thing being national what? Security? So so sad. A fuel pump attendant equivalent to a junior Aircraftsman AC1 in the Ghana airforce can be appointed a minister for national security, whilst a very very knowledgeable General like Adu-Amanfo will serve under Brian acheampong as a coordinator. Why? And how? All because tribalism has caused the majority akan population to bring to power a 3rd class degree holding drooling wee puffing vagabond of a certificateless Takashi bailiff for a fake lawyer as a president. Why? Ghana has fee descended into the hands of villagers and low class fools. This is the result, that, commissioned officers, yes, I mean COMMISSIONED OFFICERS' promotion is displayed and published by tabloids. Thank you akans for making Ghana remain an EFUOM country, with an EFUOM PRESIDENT to match Tweeeeakai. Fuuuuun.

Ghanaweb I expect better from your reportage. These officer earned their Wings, and we're not promoted.
They remain Group Captain and Wing Command, but they can now take command of whichever aircraft they are flying.
