B word - that means that more than 5 senior officers have presided over the MFTS situation since 2005, maybe more, and each appears to have passed the parcel to the next, glad to rid themselves of the poisoned chalice before the dose became fatal. Which of them did anything to prevent this situation?
It was always apparent to those in instructional roles that the plans were flawed but senior careers were being made on the back of them so no-one listened and here we are.
Not wanting to steal B Word’s chips, but the last two 1-stars have been compulsory retired at the end of their spell as Programme Director (2013-2015 and 2015-2018). At 1-star you are only good for your next job by selection. Neither work for the contractor as far as I’m aware either!
So let’s give this one a chance as he still has at least another year to turn it around - let’s face it, it can’t get much worse!
