Because DIO and their RPC crooks at "40% variance" to all costed jobs - guess what?
Like it Leon.
uniform wearing politicians we have bred who think that Shrivenham Poly is the 'be all and end all'. We've only got to look at some of the crass decisions made by our own in Main Building, PJHQ or 4-star single-service HQs to see that common sense has long since gone in some.
Like it even more! Don't forget the civilians who "graduate" from Shrivenham with diplomas or degrees in "Defence Administration". I recall one who was allowed to dictate the nature of an Assesssment Phase contract on a Cat A programme (i.e. £400M+). The world and his dog said yes, all milestones may indeed be met on time. BUT, nothing will be delivered that is of any use whatsoever, and in 3 years time we'll have to start all over again. Well, that was wrong. The programme did fall apart after 3 years, but they didn't start again, they diluted it to a fraction of the original endorsement. Main aim of programme? Reduce casualties. Got to get your priorities right, haven't you?
