RAF Careers office tells people "bar is being lowered" for entry.
Retaining quality is the issue in my opinion. Young NCOs , hell even SACs with 3-5 years experience are leaving at pace. Into very well paid technical jobs. What is being done to address this ?
Totally agree with that, not all are high fliers and may be held back simply on dress standards at assessment whilst technically wise they are superior to those promoted, it always makes sense to allow certain numbers to bolster each rank thus improving it with a stronger and more experienced knowledge base, but didn't the RAF move over to a must reach x rank system by x years to be retained? I don't care what they say, not everything is in the manual, and it sometimes takes experience to diagnose the fault.
