NATO Article 4: request to have a discussion, maybe schedule a meeting, then, if serious action required, send a sternly written letter.
Beards, berets off, sleeves up & down, no trouser blousing, boots not bulled, capbadge over ear? I’m fizzing here. RSM needs to get stuck in, pokey drill with SLR, get them in glass house blanco-ing spats. Back in my day we had standards. Army gone woke. Russia laughing at us 😏

Some military staff at #DSEI2025 are there to actually work. Plenty are just skiving a day off & scraping gizzits. A sad few think they are movers & shakers but contractors suss them out quickly enough.

Why am I not surprised this is back in my feed? @StagecoachSouth gets an award every year for supporting military families, yet every year it just gives crap service to Army community, and they get away with it. Again. Any comment @hantsconnect @wiltscouncil ?

Been there, done that. Not wandering into danger area or ignoring red flags obviously, as that’s idiotic. My dog found cut-off group in dry training ambush in woods. He knows mil uniform means being fussed & snacks. Couldn’t understand why they were trying to hide from him 🤷🏻♀️
“The Internet is a global system of communication between computer servers, located in data centers around the world. Despite the Internet’s global reach, it is more or less universally acknowledged that the Internet is, predominantly, an American innovation…”
“We have cognitive overload in senior military commanders” Absolute rubbish. It’s J3, 5 and especially COS that are thrashed. The commanders have everything filtered & made easy. Pick a COA, sorted. And they know this as they all did the COS, 3 & 5 jobs on their way to top.
