"people saying they cant vget out of their unit doesnt really wash.
go to the college (band 5)
do a few years then pick your posting."
That sounds really easy.
However where are we getting the people from to release us to go to the college?
We have been waiting for a guy to come to us from Aberdeen for a good number of years now but his release date has gone back yet again because people are fed up and have left there to go to the sand pit. I'm surprised he still wants to come after being fannyed around so much, he may join us at some point next year but I wouldn't bet on it. And I know there are numerous other examples.
