Either way the biggest investment in the DF in its history
Also MM (and his ADC/MA not sure of her official title) did tandem jumps with the ARW this week

Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostFor those upset, The COS and the Staff generals are there to oversee Strategic Planning, Public Relations, Operational and Supply matters together with Administrative oversight. None of them Command anything or anyone. Command lies with the Brigade Commanders and the Naval and Air Corps Commanders . The predicament of other Ranks lies with their CO's and their Major unit CO's in turn. Back bone requires cage rattling to highlight unacceptable conditions . Silent voices are Never heard. The only avenue for a COS is resignation with consequences for his family and future.
And can only work with the resources provided by Government and subsequently DoD
I ask myself why DoD are involved in so many areas

When I read your comment, this instantly came to mindIt is only by contemplation of the incompetent that we can appreciate the difficulties and accomplishments of the competent.

There is an old saying that the next rank to Chief of staff, in financial terms, is Clerical Officer!

Years ago driving home from work listen to Miles Duggen's Drive time ? There was a discussion about the Army running there own budget. Duggen was interviewing a civil servant who was saying it was a bad idea. The best he could come out with to keep it in the hands of the civilians was it could prevent a military takeover of the State. Duggen asked did he the civil servant think by locking the cheque book in a drawer it would prevent the most heavily armed group in the country taking over.
