if they want something they will get it in the end. No matter how much you don't like it or how much it inconveniences you they will get their expected result... if they don't they will inconvenience you some more and they'll keep doing it until you comply...
This is probably a questionable assumption.
The most recent fitness whip crack, about 3 years ago, did not really seem to have any effect.
Years previous the same again. Their airships at command decreed a quarterly test but it too died out for lack of interest.
Away from fitness, there have been periodic attempts to get aircrew out of growbags, for instance when going to hand brake house or down town shopping. That too died a death.
Anyone remember the single minded drive to get the Air Force to fly on QNH? That lasted exactly as long as it took CAS to get his knickers twisted.
they will get their expected result
This is really like the Government of the day and the civil service. If the Government is preceived to be a short term one the civil service merely works at a slow pace to get its own way.
Onward and upward and out
