The RN is less than 45000, There are more police than that in the MET.
RAF: 41000 (by 2008). All three services are less than HALF THE NUMBER OF STAFF WORKING FOR TESCO.
Being a 'manager' in any of the forces no longer carries with it that "special something" in the public eye. It pales into insignifigance in this world of high commerce and technological innovation. There are thousands working for microsoft (for example) who make every bit as much of a contribution as these so called managers in the mil. They don't need to go round reminding everyone else of who they were and what they did in history world?
If you believe you need to advertise what you did in the past to all and sundry - ask your kids what they think.
Let go and join the rest of the world as it glides by.
Lieutenant Commander Rn, Ret'd, CFS, RAeS and bra
