To be honest, I would prefer not to have another valuable senior officer phys obsessed to the extent that he drops down dead, with all the disruption to command that must cause.
But then again, thats not the message seniority are pushing out is it?
Perhaps a more pragmatic approach wrt to the fitness test would be better?
You know, like we had before the phys wallahs got all "administrative action" wrt to the fitness test, a system that didnt stop us winning the battle of Britain, the Falklands, the first gulf war and all the other minor ops the RAF was involved in?
You are either fit to do your job, or you are not. Its as simple as that really, isnt it. You arent fit, you get 1021'd, lose your pay until you are fit or choose to leave. Its that simple.
