Same as MIF but standardised across the public sector.

The complexities of integrating the huge diversity of systems into one system are causing a lot of delays. The computer part is the easy...

There would be OPSEC issues if anyone was to release that type of info

Fluctuating establishments is not going to happen. DOD want to sign off on a number today and not revisit that number til they decide to cut it.

Internal shuffling without changes to the overall...

I am all for giving a medal to anyone still serving that was there for the original event. Everyone else should join the boyscouts if they want badges

The FIB are the least deployed asset in any UN mission. Send out the FIB today in one sector and have UN casualties in another sector tomorrow in retaliation. The commanders of the FIB even refuse to...

The DF is struggling massively to supply technicians from all technical corps for their current deployments. Without a reduction in 1 of the big 2, there are no resources to deploy. A mission as a...

I would not like to wear them for the DFFTs. I am not a fan of them anyway

There are 2 RDF half Cols in DFHQ. 1 in J7 and 1 in D Res.

Next year's TED is nearly ready. Thsy should be actively seeking to shape it. To be honest, anything the RDF can do without big inputs...

Canes have been in use in the Cadet School for many many decades.

Cane drill was on the syllabus.

Invariably, the canes were shorter by the end of each Class as they were just wooden dowels...

There were efforts to get something similar for the DF. CIE wanted it to be during commuting times and only while in uniform, then abandoned the project at the end of last year.

I think there was...

Because a few well placed individuals sold out the RDF for person fulfillment - RDF ID cards, Sam Brownes, peaked caps (that didn't last long) and jobs for their friends
