Yeoman
You are right - but to make it less of a "my mate told me" story and to back your argument up the actual numbers are:
Army : 107200 (includes 11700 classified untrained)
RAF : 43480 (includes 4280 untrained)
Navy : 38420 (includes 4010 untrained)
Civil Service : 85730 (I'll leave it to the CS bashers to state how many untrained - however 29630 work in Centre (defined as Central, CJO, CSIT, DE and Trading Funds (DSTL, Meteorological Office, Hydrographic Office, DSG)! The CS figure also includes 2330 RFA pers)
Military and
civilian figures from the DASA site, as at July 2009.
Now, I really should get back to having a life!
