Anyway - with regard to all these ads I've been seeing about education and the forces, and the overall attempt by the forcres to raise the overall education standard, I ask, to what end? So that when the CF finally runs out of money everyone can get a civvy job? Or because it's pleasing to the eyes: "look, here we Private Bloggins - he's currently finishing his B.Sc in nuclear physics, and on the Weekends (enter triumphant, action movie music), he's a weapon-packing madman, trained to kill.
Anyway, sure that's been around for a long time, but saracasm aside, how does it serve the forces, realistically, to have troops with Bachelors and Masters degrees - seriously?
Clarior hinc honos.
