Unprecedented numbers applying is one thing; getting the right individuals is something very different. Remove the Walt’s, Daydreamers and Wannebe's and how many are left in the queue. Even if the remaining applicants are the best of the rest, it will take months in some trades, years (2?) in others before they are productive.

Two adverts for RAF recruitment on TV within 2 mins of each other. The second for Reserve Service, yet I was discussing with an FTRS Regt SNCO just yesterday in which he stated that after the expense of creating a media recruiting facility (advert) they had been told to cease accepting recruitment applications. Is this smoke and mirrors or just mixed signals?
