part of the “problem” with the State Lists is that they tend (ISA tend) to honour sustained acts over the course of an appointment or two well above and beyond “being a good individual”.
as an example, one of the OF5s on today’s list co-ordinated the staff effort in the MoD for IR: it was a herculean effort, and one that an OR2 wouldn’t get the opportunity to do (and thus be honoured for).
