It will be interesting to see if any of the others in the leading pack of runners, decides to leave or are invited to do so when the ‘New Guard’ gets going. I also think that in three years, there might be a female officer as at least one of the contenders – it will be interesting also to see who moves where, as that will probably suggest some fairly obvious ‘grooming’ (in the nicest possible way of course!!!).
This year will be 60 since I joined and next, 30 since I left regular service and 3 since I gave up on reserves and cadets. I was never going to be ‘one to watch’ except out of idle curiosity. However, it seems that what is required of the top brass these days is very different from yesteryear but hey, that’s generational change.
