At a briefing this week, the latest fitness programme was unveiled to an enthralled audience.
It includes:
Fitness tests
TWICE a year
.
Increased fitness levels
.
Mandatory 3 x 50 minute sports period per week
.
Personally I am all in favour of conducting fitness trg in work time and having fit for purpose personnel but how the hell are we going to be able to facilitate this when we are 'running hot'. Do we restrict tasking/ops for sport, do we bring back sports afternoons, do we bring people in early, send them home late and if it is considered so important why were such low standards brought in originally to allow us to get into such a state.
On a station of 1000 personnel, working on 3 x 50 min sports period, with 30 mins changing and travel time the station will lose 4 hrs per person per week, totalling 4000 man hrs or 166 man days per week. Where will the additional PTI resources come from and is there enough Gym space?
The headquarters are where people have the time, but their statistics are the worst of all the stations sheer Hypocrisy.
see ya down the gym......................
