Noticed some posters appearing on the Rumration web****e defending JPA - which is interesting considering I know that one of them works for AFPAA and is trotting out the exact party line. I wonder if they are trying to put some spin out there before it gets issued to us? I know that the higher echelons are very worried about how the RN are going to receive this - Pay2K was a little bit of a "lessons learned" episode for them regarding PR and dealing with disgruntled matelots, and I don't think they want the same response with this behemoth.

Lots of our people have been appraised of the right to bring a complaint before an inspecting officer, regardless of the CoC.....divisions could prove interesting after "go-live" date!
