For the third time... an increase in the RA from 55 to 65 will almost certainly mean an EXTRA 10 years to Command. To remove all doubt, if Command time was running at 5 years it, would become 15, if it was 10, it will become 20.
Yes the price of oil, recession, boom, bust, expansion, contraction will have an effect. What that effect will be you and I cannot quantify. But what I can say is that, all other things being equal, an increase in RA by 10 years, delays commands by 10 years.
Not looking for sympathy, just stating what I believe is an obvious fact and whilst not excusing or endorsing the tone of some of the posts on here, just highlighting why many hold strong views.
