T F O ( Awww - bless! ),
You made a few assumptions there, like I don't KNOW what the range of Operations conducted by NPAS include - whether "Secret" or not,
and whether I have any first hand knowledge of how hard ( some ) NPAS employees ( i.e. the ones at the Sharp end ) are working during each and every shift.
It's my experience ( and perception ) - shared by many, that "Wisdom" is not always welcomed
when it's travelling up the chain of command - especially when those at the top
THINK they know better, and will NOT be told otherwise.
You may think that I am "Anti-NPAS", and that's not actually correct either.
I want NPAS to succeed, but I don't see many signs of this,
and very few reports ( at least in here ) of how it IS working more effectively and cost efficiently, than during pre NPAS days,
despite several previous Posts from Forum Members asking for examples.
To the Contrary there seem to be plenty of examples of how NPAS is NOT working to those original Aims,
and many of those don't get brought out into the Public domain either.
