Slightly depressing TV 'launch' with serving personnel hiding their identity.
Cynical? Definitely but a sound idea and I wish them/you luck.
Not to get anyone confused, I am not involved in the org, but as with yourself, find the idea a breath of fresh air, as I have increasingly felt of late that the front line guys are lacking a significant voice in terms of equipment and more significantly welfare of troops on det,.especially in this politically correct pseudo press led world we live in. Just thought the wider PPrune audience would like to know about scheme and that it appears as if its off the ground.
