I read the DCI don't worry about that and yes it was tongue in cheek. It just beggars belief that they can't even get something as important as this right and on the published timescales. They'll be announcing the ranks and trades for the next tranche soon and maybe before those who applied on the last one find out if they got it! How stupid is that! I wonder if they'll end up with enough people of the right skills and experience to do the job at the end of it all. Thats why I applied I don't want to be there when it all crumbles completely.
