I can only describe whomever signed that one off as, to quote a delightful phrase I heard recently, ‘a complete cockwomble’ and should be held accountable.
We’re short on cash and have our own department that amongst other things specialises in recognition - it’s called the Intelligence Branch. And guess what, we even have a training school that writes recognition guides and teaches it. And I’d wager that the experienced J2 you’d need to develop the Mission Support capability will be of an era where they were taught this sort of stuff themselves. Hell, even I can remember maritime recce from my sqn days: MASH - Mast - Armaments - Superstructure - Hull. And I’ve still got the notes and PPoint brief somewhere in the loft. That’ll be £150 and a GEMS award please, and spend the money you’ve saved on a copy of Janes.
Unbelievable. I’ve often asked where all the money goes and why we’re broke. I’m starting to see exactly why.
