Agree with you there 100%, RP!

I wouldn't even be tempted to buy snake oil from the person from Ascent who recently gave us a brief on how well MFTS was going....

How long before people wake up to the fact that PFI military training is an unsustainable, complete and utter crock, which (with any luck) is doomed to failure.

I see that one 'essential' requirement for the BJFT SME they're trying to recruit is that the candidate must be:

Prepared to operate on a regular basis between the two key centres: Ascent HQ (Bristol) and RAF Valley
A 'regular' 500 mile round trip by road or 5 hours each way on a train chugging its way from Shabby Wood through at least two dozen stations in Wales, eh? That sounds like a pretty appealing 'essential requirement'....
