Maybe RN guys not so happy, because of when u get promoted you can nolonger talk to or associate with your previous friends of the lower ranks.

After 5 years of being a rating, had many good friends was promoted to petty officer and told nolonger can i speak to or associate with ratings…

Are you not familiar with Michael Yon ? He’s been declaring victory for quite a few years. All of them in fact.

Yet more heartening news.
Its not as if there arent enough problems for the MOD, what with 2 wars, low morale, decaying accomodation, etc etc etc. The sorts of problems a really well run organisation would struggle with. Someone should tell them that they dont need to go around creating their own.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard that report, Tom. Data sticks are a security man’s nightmare.

I was part of the DoD Blogger’s Roundtable with Dr John Parmentola of the US Army this week, where he discussed some of the issues you touch on here. The transcript is not yet available (although the mp3 is available here) but I’ll post it when it appears.

He was very much talking about sensor nets and the like, in addition to materials, nanotech, virtual worlds (my interest, of course), and much more. I’m sure it’ll be of interest to you.

Also, I’ve only just turned 20, so I guess I can, at a stretch, be considered a youth. At any rate, I cant help but splutter when I read ‘petty criminality, marathon Nintendo-playing, and recreational stabbings.’ Quite apart from the discrimination involved in that, I would never be caught playing a Nintendo. Playstation all the way! As for my stabbings, they’re deadly serious. He looked at me funny, alright?

I actually dont find it so surprising that the RN and RAF have lower morale than the Army. Both services have held the trump card since WW2, possessing the nuclear deterrent; the job of the Army was to delay the Soviets long enough that the RAF and Navy could do their bit. Suddenly, they reverted back to supporting arms; the only independent roles the Navy has are drug interdiction and fishery protection. The Army, meanwhile, enjoys the morale boost of doing a difficult job well.

Just look at Germany’s High Seas Fleet in 1918. Busy soldiers are happy soldiers.
