Military vs Civvy Catering
I've heard plenty of comments about food quality since joining up. The bases where the most people have wanted full PAYD because of the poor food have all been run by contractors - those with military chefs and stewards have been excellent. So, surely, contractors running PAYD is a guaranteed way of stopping anyone eating in the messes, and those same contractors aren't going to make any money! If we're going to do it, then let's have military catering staff with, if necessary, ONE contractor per mess to stop the Chef doing anything silly with the budget.
