scran,
You don’t have to justify your job to me (although I was pretty close to the mark).
Why don’t you spend less time playing ‘Music Quiz’ on Jet Blast (probably during work hours) and help the DoD get it right.
I am ex RAN and when I think back I am torn between being proud and ashamed about the outfit. I hope we receive some good press soon because the general public doesn’t think we need a Defence force. There is more at stake than just wasting more of their (my) money. We actually need a competitive capability. The best trained pilot in one of our F18s is sill no match for a 3rd world trained gimp in a F22.
