Thanks.
Based on these figures (not sure how old the one I had was but they were 2017)
Lt (NS) is 45% short of establishment
PO is 31% short of establishment
LS is 58% short of establishment
Seamen is 22% short of establishment
The SNCOs vacancies have been more or less filledLast edited by DeV; 22 January 2018, 13:46.

The ECF was submitted to DPER by the same element that worked on CS4. One was based on the other but both were from the same origin.

Originally posted by na grohmití View PostThe establishment does not seem to have changed in the NS since we had 4 p20 type, 1 hpv , 2 cpv and 1 lpv . If we are to replace the cpv type with opv then surely the establishment needs to follow? These ships will be spending more time at sea and having at least one vessel overseas seems to be the norm for future planning. Add to the mix a larger ship to replace the hpv and number are well below what is required. In 1984 bringing Eithne into service with her crew of 85 all ranks saw a recruitment drive to increase the establishment by 200.
Time have changed and there should be at least two recruits classes processed annuallyCovid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

PWC allowed 1.5 crews per ship
3 is probably a bit excessive but 2 crews per ship would be adequate
I cannot see why anyone would join the NS. The life is much harsher with far more limitations put on having a real life. Relationships suffer from being away all the time. I have a lot of respect for those that can enjoy that work / life balance
If you are looking for normal..regular hours, good pay and conditions... this ain't it !... but fcuk it.... after 5 years you'll still have the rest of your life to catch up with the guy who went to college and id the same shit day in day out.....and never felt the buzz that only the sea will give you!

Still waiting for naval numbers that you were quoting.
Just a month later the strength (see above) dropped dramatically:
The establishment is in the 2nd link and is unchanged.
The 2nd link is the more up to date figure of the 2, it shows how the situation is even worse than the one I quoted for Seamen and JNCOs, the SNCO ranks have been sorted more or less - but as you said (and I agreed) a short fall there wouldn’t really effect ships or maintenanceLast edited by DeV; 23 January 2018, 12:06.

Looking at ECF introduction in 2011/12 the approved sanction for all the PDF was 70% for strengths shown in DF Establishments CS4. Key tech jobs on ships cannot live on 1.5 ratios, if you have to relieve singletons very often the relief is done by a person filling a shore side vacancy. I would press strongly for a 2 ratio but still think we need a better ratio to cover career courses and realistic sea shore ratios. The current strategy still does not reach Full Establishment so it is important that the allowed figures are being met in all departments with clear avenues of career/trade development. Wave type recruiting with succeeding training shut downs is totally unprofessional and leads to pissed off training by pissed off staff.

Really ? I thought we were working to a fully filled Establishment of 9500p + 4169r . There will be 800 PDF recruits this years - it was in the dail PQs I put up"Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"
