R21, I did have a similarly dubious attitude to the 2 in question when I heard about it.
To be truthful we didn't welcome them with open arms when they arrived on our unit.
Since then both have been given a lot of responsibility and are putting in the sort of effort we all expect, without alienating any of the NCA in their areas.
Whilst I agree commissions should be offered to the best candidates, no-one can blame these guys for accepting the generous offer they received.
I hope more of us get the chance of commissioned service in fact, then we can stop moaning about our leadership and try and do a better job than the poor ones do at present.
Seasons Greetings
