allan907,
I stand by most of what I said. I had the honour of serving in the MoD for 8 years. Some of which was quite rewarding. but as I advanced up the ladder I realised there were a lot of people in higher places making some really bum judgments (or doing nothing at all) For the best part of my career I worked in Faslane as a Comms project Officer (Read Scapegoat) The amount of times I had to go to the RN/RAF and Inform them that key equipment would be late in delivery (For which I was made personally responsible) due to someone higher up not capable of making decisions eventually turned me sour. I left in 1996. I'm not sorry.
As for those who feel i've been somewhat harsh in my last post, I will say this - I appologize to those Civil Servants that can look in the mirror And say to themselves with honesty that they are doing a good job for thier military customers. However I didn't meet too many of them in my time. And Eventually, I became one myself
