I could understand the gripes if you were expected to do it in your own couch/playstation/bar/fast food time, but you're not.
Actually Arfur you are talking bo**ocks. THE message from AMP was not what is should have been. Taking fitness in work time WAS NOT MANDATED. Sadly it was down to unit commanders, but if unit commanders mandate it, it cannot be viewed as POLICY. Therefore when you do the required manpower calculations you cannot use MANDATED fitness sessions as contributing to the over all workload. Why? Well it's blatently obvious. If you mandate fitness in Her Majesty's Flying Club you accept that you need more personnel to achieve the task. If you need more personnel then you cannot achieve the bl**dy idiotic manpower ceiling of 40873 (although I may have that wrong by a few, was it 40674?). Mandated fitness (quite correct) equals more diversion which equals more manpower which Errrrr doesn't meet the target so lets ignore the fact we want people to be fitter but don't want them to do it in work time!
