Last week I arrived at work only to discover some junk mail in my pigeon hole. It was a glossy leaflet from the DMS (Defence Medical Services) informing me that my medical records were about to be digitised and placed onto a brand new computerised laptop system. Seems the main function of this system is to allow the medics the ability to lose my medical records on a train. At the moment my records are paper only and kept in a secure cabinet where there is little opportunity for them to be lost on a train. Therefore, in order for them to be lost on a train they have to be digitised....
Today I arrive at work and there is another glossy brochure in my pigeon hole. This one if from 1SL himself and has been sent to me (and I presume every other matelot) and informs me that it is not good form to commit fraud and to steal things. Its a good glossy.... lots of guidance about what stealing is...and even gives a link to a "stealing" hotline where I presume I can ask advice as to what constitutes stealing....
I'm guessing that if every sailor received one of these that makes about 36,000 of them..... Hmmm.....probable cost of abut £500 to produce.... and maybe the same to post to everyone.....so, Circa £1000.....or...about the same as 50 Navbags..... or something else useful.....
