You do surprise me....

I do sometimes wonder why we can't retain people in the forces. But then I think of the place where I work - where we aren't meant to have the lights on in the day; where we can't afford to heat accommodation (advice is to wrap up warm and get an extra blanket) and where we are so on the bones of our a*ses that we can't afford to heat the swimming pool. And the place I'm talking about is a training establishment. Is it really any wonder that the bright-eyed youngsters joining up at the moment have little faith that their service will even exist in 20 years time?
