Understanding the great pressure Western Nations are having not only attracting Recruits, but maintaining Service Personal numbers
Australia is in the same predicament, especially with RAN numbers. Our Officer numbers have increased year by year, but it is the Enlisted Ratings numbers from CPO down through the Ranks to 1st Year Sailors being the area of greater % loss compared to the increased number of Officers
We have at least one Collins Class submarine that whilst is in service, however cannot put to sea because some of her Crew have been transferred to allow another Collins Class vessel to make up the required compliment of Crew for it put to sea
Where did the Rating of
Vice Admiral appear in the position vacant advertisement?, as the body of the text suggests the appointment is for a
Rear AdmiralHaving said all of this, I suggest that the reported advertisement for a
Vice Admiral is a hoax, as the Job Description is for an alternate Classification of a replacement
Rear Admiral.....so, is it the Media
who
couldn't get 2 lines of text to compliment or stay in tune with each otherIn real life, it is the other way around.......we have a senior Retired Naval Officer, who before retirement was on a recommendation committee for a substantial Naval Contract to build new warships ....after the successful Tenderer was announced, within a very short period of time, that then retired Naval Officer was engaged by the ship builder as a Paint Consultant
