VinRouge, the last time it was indeed a 'front liner' who started the ball rolling after having read JAR-FCL 1. Some sniffy sod of a Wg Cdr at Learning Command tried to give me a hard time about drawing the attention of a 4* to this as as potential recruiting and retention incentive ('proper staffing chains'....), but when Bliar announced that qualifications gained in military service were to be recognised in civilian life, I put the case to the Stn Cdr. Word filtered onwards and upwards and it was ultimately the Scottish Officer who kicked sufficient arse at Binnsworth to get some staff officers working on it.

If there is anyone left at whatever passes for Learning Command these days, then you need a staff officer to be tasked to sort the matter out NOW. Otherwise the Services will lose a valuable recruiting and retention incentive.
