If you privatise the cooks in the dining hall, there is no where for the cooks to go when on shore rotation.

There used to be, in the BA, an Army Catering Corps, now in this age of doing things better, we have The Royal Logistics Corps, under which bullets, beans,and POL are all part of the supply and delivery system. They have of course killed off old allegiances and dovetailed private catering into shore based units. None of which would work in operational scenarios. Enforced modernisation, by the mandarins , on military/naval systems, is a cost cutting exercise, and usually mean you get less with less.

Outsourcing would free up a lot of people for other duties, in the case of the NS , sea going. Get rid of security duties and employ a force that solely do this as a sole tasking again releasing people .
The DF need to take a joint step into the 21st century in relation to these type of roles, we have too few people to be tied up doing jobs which could be carried out more efficiently by contractors.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

The DE officer should also have Branch Training in Naval Navigation procedures, Gunnery etc. Other Branch officers should receive Type training on Engineering and Electrical systems as appropriate. Such courses could run for at least 12-14 weeks with refresher elements to follow where necessary. At all costs an overwhelmed, hung out to dry ,officer must be avoided.Last edited by ancientmariner; 2 August 2016, 13:54.

I do find the qualification criteria puzzling. You actually qualify for the selection process if you are a refugee????
If it's a short service commission is extension of service again based on a maximum engagement contract and if so what rank will candidates have been expected to attain by end of contract?
It mentions a short service commission pay rate.
Is this payable annually as an allowance or as a gratuity on termination of contract.
For what it's worth this is the most foward thinking move the NS has made in relation to recruitment in 30 years.
It was offered piecemeal in the past but this now could make it a regular recruitment tool for executive branch officers.

Promotion reads like ask RACO to make a submission

Necessity. The NS just can't keep young officers in the current economic climate. Out of one class of ten cadets, who should all now be approaching LT(NS) rank, only one remains. Many of the rest were poached by german retailers based in Ireland, with the offer of €60k per annum plus company Audi A4.
Until the DF can compete with that, it will continue losing those in their late 20s and early 30s to the civilian world.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
