I can't believe this thread has resurfaced. However, I will reiterate my comments from the previous thread.... Has anyone actually had the b**ls to question this in person, or are you all hiding in the relative anonymity of pprune? As you are all presumably serving in HM Forces then I'm afraid you are supposed to do what you are told, even IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT. You can of course question any such order, but unless it is illegal you have as much chance of countering this as Harold Shipman has of being the next President of the GMC. So stop moaning, get on with it and stop this thread, we are all very bored with your pathetic whimperings.
