Senior officer unoriginality

[Melchett01]

To fully appreciate the finer points of today's lexicographical excesses, please make use of the following interweb site:

http://www.cynicalbastards.com/wankometer/

Considering some of the posts on this thread, it's not actually that wanky!

The scores on the doors so far:

RAF Website - Wank factor 0.72 - low
Army Website - Wank factor 0.79 - low
RN Website - Wank factor 6.42 - high wankyness
MOD Website - Wank factor 6.42 - high wankyness

So what's the opinion - what does this say about the state of play? Have to say I am shocked by the RN scores, but completely unsurprised by the MOD's!

An Teallach, I believe that "delta" used in that context is transatlantic beaniespeak for "deficit". Very popular in the DoD it seems.

I see that your BZ question has been well answered.

Well done to all those who dedicated time and effort to reducing unoriginality in our senior officer cadre. I'm hearing reports of a 67.4% reduction in piece and delta use at SO2 and SO1 levels brought on by new levels of self awareness and indeed even self policing in some cases.

But don't rest on your laurels - we need to keep our beady eyes on this worrying trend and stamp on any new words or phrases as soon as they surface.

Little thread creep, however.....
The high operational tempo, which requires some Forces to exceed their agreed Annual Flying Task and others to exceed Harmony guidelines, allied to the reduction in trained strength ahead of the disestablishment of associated posts has created a demand for TG1 manpower in excess of availability. To meet the manpower demands, the RAF TG1 Manpower Placement Plan has been developed to prioritise the allocation of TG1 manpower
Anyone care to translate ??

[insty66]

Assuming this isn't a waaah!

And TG1 is?

In general all the folk who repair and service your aircraft!

So

We F@<*ed up!

is about right.

This was a pre-amble to a letter stating how up to 20% of manpower currently working away from the war effort are about to be re-deployed (posted) to help bolster the flagging troops on the front line.... and God knows they need it !!
First they say we can reduce our manpower dramatically and still remain as effective
Then they offer 3 rounds of redundancy packages to reduce the numbers
Then they are surprised when the PVR rate is so high with the personnel left behind to paper over the cracks
Then they offer 3 year extensions to current contracts
Retention bonus's in the New Year ???
Good job we're not a war or this could end up as a right clutter **** !!
If this wasn't so pathetic it would be laughable
