Blogger I couldn't agree more about you pushing **** up the line instead of down it and you speaking your mind
However by not giving a toss about your subordinates fitness tests or your own and by thinking it will make no difference is irresponsible and wrong! you are disadvantaging them for promotion or progression, whilst I agree with you that in the past the Fitness has been just a Stat that nobody gave much credence to, that however is changing and there is supposed to be a much harder stance with regards to fitness coming in with real penalties.
The first person who repeatedly failed their test has been kicked out and they won't be the last.
You shouldn't put down people who do representative sport either, yes it causes you more work finding replacements and his/her peers have to fill in but almost always Spotsmen have to put in a lot of their own time and effort to attain a standard that gets them picked for Teams, it is this time and effort that you should be recognising not the week off for the competition!!!!
