Thanks for the gen Mead Pusher.
Just about to go on det. 4 weeks 3 locations, 2 countries, 30 guys. No admin backup, no intranet access. It's easy at the moment with a FSI and a DSI. You could double the number of guys and the time and it would still be easy. Come the arrival of JPA - who knows. How do the guys fund themselves? Phone it all through may be an answer but with up to 8 hours time difference the window available may be short. Scheduling phone time may be awkward. Paying for the calls from a civilian net should be interesting. Individual unit credit/debit cards should really speed things up - I think not. Limited funds credit/debit cards should make paying some bills interesting.
Never mind, the change from a working system to JPA will save money for the Treasury!!!!!
