"Do you mean to say that the procurement and capabilities wallahs hide their incompetence rather than get the right kit for our ac and crews, all the while hiding behind jargon AND costing the taxpayer (ie all of us) squillions!!!??"
YES.
If so, this is a national scandal.
AGREED.
Like I said, in writing. Over the years, I made a point of having this renewed at every regime change / reorganisation (i.e. MoD(PE), AMSO, AML, DPA, DLO) so they couldn't argue "Ah, but that was in the past". Not that I really needed to, as the facts (and numerous auditors reports) speak for themselves. I wonder if DE&S will follow suite? It's in hand.
Chappie - Congratulations.
