There have been many debates here about standards and ability etc. From my experience of the recruting world, our standards and selection procedures are much higher than industry - potentially contributing to a lower IOT failure rate? - but I acknowledge that a few "muppets" get through (well-done to them for deceiving us so well). If we want to reduce the risk of these muppets serving too long, how do people feel about all officers starting on Short Service Commissions just to gauge their worth first? Discuss.
