Re Procurement, I used to travel regularly to a defence contractor in the West Country for meetings. They had a poster on their wall which read:-
How are we supposed to deal with the Armed Forces when they all speak a different language? For Example:-
If you asked the Royal Navy to secure a building, the last man out would switch off the light and lock the door behind him.
If you asked the Army to secure a building, they would throw up two layers of barbed wire fencing with a guard tower at each corner and dogs patroling 24/7.
If you asked the Marines to secure a building, they would storm it with every weapon in their arsenal and not give in untill they had it secured.
If you ask the Royal Air Force to secure a building, ...... They would take out a fifty year lease with an option to buy !
Says it all really
