Helicopter Shortage
Back in the mid 90s I was working in Resettlement and associated training - I tried explaining to those leaving the Services that very few employers or recriters knew anything of the Services except the misconceptions from TV programes like "Get Fell In", "Ain't 'Alf Hot, Mum" and even "Dad's Army".
Nothing has changed, and for those on the Front Line, it is worse, because their political masters do not have a clue of the environment in which they fight, the importance of equipment or lack of it, or the ethos that is required to be able to do the job effectively. I wonder if a Minister even bothers to go to Lyneham now to meet the increasingly frequent of C17 arrivals. As the political leaders of a country engaged in a war they are a collective disgrace.
Do I feel angry - too right I do
