Should have brought this sort of thing in years ago for the RN. Said ages ago on here we needed to evolve the manpower deployment.
MG you are spot on ( just bothered to read your post, few are worth reading).
I was roundly and rudely slated for suggesting 2 years ago the Libya RN deployments were out of kilter and we needed to go onto something like a 6 week about structure.
Its not coincidence we have submarines out of service, ships broken and not deployed....think more deeply about it.
In civvy street< I just cant emphasise enough how easier life is for people who work, how well looked after they are compared to the RN.
Grow up PPruners.
