TBH,
Flashy, we all know just how skilled the MoD is at taking a simple concept and then making it into a nightmare! Seems all the MoD is actually good at some times! And
Just This Once... just got a bit defensive re VSOs to which my response is (a) like the VSO payslip (b) really like the VSO pension and (c) promotion to VSO is not compulsory! You want (a) and (b) crack on! The deal is you accept what (c) brings! Questions? No! Good! Carry on!
What the actual argument is here (quite apart from my earlier military humour re sand banks and bridges - please, do lighten up a bit) is (i) either the RN completely over-reacted over this or Nick, nice guy, (ii) stuffed up big time ...... orrrrrrr .... (iii) there's some agenda where Nick is a fall guy. That's the real question on PPRune. What is it? (i), (ii) or (iii)?
Just sayin',
