Are you a real Major or an equality tick?
That would very quickly have become a dig among my lineys if a female or ethnic minority member of the team wasn't performing well. This policy is creating division because the perception will permeate through the rank and career structure; she got her fitters course because she's a woman, he got his tapes before me because he's an ethnic.
This issue concerns me not just because it's my Service (retired, but still) open to ridicule but also because I am an instructor with the Air Cadets in a predominantly white area and most of the 14/15 year olds still see the RAF as a possible career path. I would hate to see their dreams turn to dust through the inept mismanagement of recruitment.
