Couldn't agree more about the Military Covenant, Doc, that's my point. As to:
but if neither of them give a sh1t???
by which I suppose you mean COs and AMs, as to the former there's usually another one on its way and better luck with that one, for it was always thus. Regarding the latter, there I think we are perhaps getting to the nub of things. Every year I read comments here reading, "Well done Sir, heartiest congratulations!", "Couldn't have gone to a better man", "A real gentleman, very proud to have served under him", etc etc, following the announcements of VSO promotions. And yet, and yet...nothing changes, blatant misdeeds and illegal orders issued by previous AMs are covered up by present incumbents, even to the extent of besmirching the names of deceased JOs for some 17 years. It took the 800 year old institution of HM Coroners to tell the less than 100 year old Royal Air Force that there is something wrong with its bloody aircraft. To that one might add that there is also something wrong with its leadership. The two I would suggest are not disconnected...
