NL, I deleted it as I didn't wish to unnecessarily depress the good readers of
PPRuNe!!!!!
For those confused, my point was that, even when Serving, I soon realised a lot of projects I was asked to do (even with Staff specifically provided to work for me to do them) were, subsequently, never taken forward and that one is soon forgotten. So, all these people (even VSOs) who end up outside, proud of what they have achieved, don't realise (admit?) that the "new broom" who took over from them probably completely changed everything again.
What was that train of thought from so many, many MoD Staff over the decades? "Why is so-and-so changing this again as it finally works well? Ah, yes, they have to be seen to be doing something - even if, ultimately, it's just revolving the wheel 180 deg! Ah well, bo££ox, off we go again!!!!!".
