Uncomfortable Truth......

I have it on good authority that the PEd branch ran a trial on a Gulf-based Det on physical fitness vs Job Stamina and work rates.

The uncomfortable truth was that the "F@t B*$tards" performed better than those with a higher personal fitness levels. This is even backed up by some science concerning metabolic rates in relation to fitness and required sustanence.

I'm not a fan of looking like an ATC officer (Spaceys, that is ) and we should all take pride in our personal appearance.....but how do you sell the fact the fat people seem to perform better in our current operational theatres?

Pin pulled, retarding to a safe distance (Mars?)
