Xmas Message
I’ve now seen the Xmas message from the top and am astounded at what they’ve done.
Is bullying so rife now that nobody could say that it wasn’t exactly the best idea to do what they did? Is there an atmosphere of fear that stopped ANYONE from ‘challenging’ them? If this is what people think motivates people, then they are badly mis-briefed.
I think the next CDS is likely to come from the Senior Service, as I don’t see a hoot of the ‘right stuff’ in this video.
Obviously my own thoughts, but there’s enough out there circulating to say this has brought an element of disbelief.

I've been taking flak all day at work from ex-mil colleagues (RN, RM and AAC) and I just can't defend it.
It is the worst piece of cringeworthy PR I have ever seen.
I gather CASWO is actually a good chap so how they persuaded him to do this is beyond me.
Presumably this total embarrassment is the work of some PR firm who thought it made the RAF look caring - just makes CAS and CASWO look like they are having a bromance.
Utterly awful!
I hope some of the memes that are flying around now make their way to CAS's phone!

Didn`t see any mistletoe...?
And I'm getting grief from my (khaki) son about this. Well it doesn't take much to get grief from him. But Wiggy seems to have dialled up the wokeness spectrum too far.

Is it wrong that I was awaiting the kiss at the end, as in all bromance videos - So the army keep telling me

Without any social skills I think the PM maybe should have given the role to Stu. Sometimes a warfighter that doesn't get people, is better than the unknown?
Just read on goat that disciplinary action is threatened against people circulating the vid or memes there of. What did the Service become, when it can't ridicule those that need it most?
Be very careful if you post from Dii, as they will be watching you now. Stay safe, but keep laughing.

Apparently this was filmed in the run up to last Christmas and was never released as an official message.
Someone has found it and put it into the public domain.... let the witch-hunt commence....
