Good bit of institutional self-harm in his speech:
...getting out of the 1930s environment where we have 68 branches and trades...
Great - suggest to any and all external reader that the RAF has stuck rigidly to the branches and trades of the 1930s. Meanwhile, back in the real world, there has been near-constant re-brigading, re-structuring, re-skillling, multi-skilling, out-of-branch, out-of-trade, 'jointery' and renaming to the point of institutional dizziness.
About the only branch I can think of that is roughly titled and structured in the same way is reflected in the badge on his left breast. Unfortunately he is only in tune with the right tit.
The number of helo fleets looks like hard double-digit adding-up. I got stuck trying to count the 8 different airlift fleets.
