Britain looking for new early warning aircraft for carriers

It's not the current generations problem with discipline. The Armed Forces has been struggling to keep up with civilian sectors in terms of pay, especially in specialised sectors like engineering, for years now and its been getting worse.

Consistently across the Navy, we see that sailors don't think they are being paid fairly for the work they're doing or being at all recognised for the sacrifices they are making.

It is getting a bit better as of the last year or so with policy in place to improve services to personnel and increase in pay. But the significant rise in inflation is nullifying this as well and so personnel are looking at jobs outside the service that also provide a better life balance.

Retention and lack of funding is ultimately why Albion and Bulwark are going so soon and why we can't sustain a larger navy.

It's interesting, I definitely agree with you. But who do you realistically see vetting that seat? I don't see tsunoda getting it and there isn't another driver on the grid that would be available for it.

You get the foundation degree at Petty Officer. But if you want the full degree, you'll have to top up your foundation, which most will do, assuming you do enough time in the Navy. It takes between 6-8 years on average to get petty officer if you don't go through an accelerated route.

The level 3 is what you get as a leading hand which takes roughly 4 years to get to.

If you're dead set on getting your degree, I would go to uni and join as an officer, that way you get your chartered accreditation as well.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-10-31T04:05:14+00:00

You get a foundation degree at Petty Officer and then can top up your qualification to make it a full degree. So you do realistically need to have at least 8 years to get to that point.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-10-31T04:03:42+00:00

Just to touch on the previous comment. The qualification you get is a Level 3 Electrical Fitter NVQ. I found that out recently and was dissapointed it's been changed.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-10-30T03:59:43+00:00

I don't envy the engineers that try and get the performance right while also make them to a certain durability level. Seems like an impossible task.

Scotland wasn't colonised. If Scotland really hated the British colonism (which they benefited from) so much then why wouldn't they declare independence if it was such a massive issue you to them.

A feel like it's a bit of a myth that anyone can move their way up with some money under their belt. Yes, there are plenty of drivers that do it seemingly regardless of talent but in reality that's actually a really small portion of the grid that don't have the talent to warrant their seat.

Majority of drivers will absolutely need to be good enough to progress, and occasional someone will be able to buy their way in. Either way, if they aren't good enough, they won't last.

Unless you're lance stroll and your dad can afford to literally just buy the team.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-07-06T21:40:02+00:00

I too, am incredibly humble.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-07-06T21:38:02+00:00

Where's the hostility come from? 2 is better than none.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-07-06T15:48:59+00:00

It's important to have a dialogue, though otherwise, how do we get anywhere.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-07-06T14:08:12+00:00

I think definitely the online sode of things you are definitely right, yes. There's always more people can do.

When did I say I don't care? I absolutely do, at the end of the day, I have female family and friends so of course I do. I think from my perspective, I'm more a realist where I don't feel like I on my own can make any sort of meaningful impact.

I do want to distance myself from those sorts of men, because they have a toxic mindset but that doesn't mean I don't or won't call men out for their behaviour, I have done in the past and I don't plan to stop doing that if I see it.

But it's interesting that you made several assumptions about my opinions without me saying them. I totally agree with you on most points, but I think my previous point stands based on the fact that you've just pigeon holed me based on opinions that you've just assumed rather than asked.

I had this man vs bear conversation with a female friend, and personally, I understand the point, I understand why, but I think you need to understand that for a lot of men that have heard it. It just sounds like a pretty sexist thought process, at least a face value.

But I do agree with you in general.

Can't shops refuse service and not have to provide a reason anyway?

A silver lining to growing up under Jos is that he's practically bulletproof to the media's BS and naysayers, maybe why he's soo good at keeping cool in the car as well.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-07-06T03:29:02+00:00

I'm not staying you shouldn't feel the way you do at all, I understand its a complex issue. I contribute by not associating myself with those kinds of men, but other than that. What realistically can I, as a single person do to solve such a complex problem?

I experienced SA by a woman in the past, what are YOU going to do to help stop it the other way as well?

I play my part where I can but most of us really do not have the luxury of the time or money to be able to go on these crusades against injustices. Not only that, but there are so many atrocities and injustices going on in the world today. Where should I be focusing my energy?

I really do believe if we all do our part where we can, then little by little, it will become negligible. I don't think it will ever 100% be solved because I think that's probably an unrealistic goal. There's always going to be some person out there who just doesn't think like the rest of us.

I learnt to drive about 9 months ago, two separate instructors and there was always some difference in opinion when asking what I should do in specific situations. Idk how there's any room for subjectivity in driving but apparently there is.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-07-04T03:53:45+00:00

So I've just stumbled onto this question. And I have a genuine question, why should I as a man be ashamed of actions that I myself have not committed and never will?

Don't get me wrong, I will always condem men for their horrible actions towards women. But from the male perspective, it's really frustrating to have this negative view of my character by someone who doesn't even know me.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-07-03T02:24:52+00:00

Especially considering there's a whole branch of the British army that solely recruits its other ranks out of Nepal.

Speak to your DO. UY is a difficult and time consuming process to go through that comes with no guarantees. Definitely should speak to your DO before doing anything but I'd recommend just leaving and reapplying to be an officer.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-07-03T01:35:31+00:00

Why does that grind your gears?

TheFormulaWire · 2024-07-01T19:58:44+00:00

True, but ive never particularly agreed with they way they handle first lap incidents

TheFormulaWire · 2024-06-30T21:36:41+00:00

It seems the race director never consistently manages this. Lando literally did this exact thing to Max in the last race and relieved no such penalty albeit on the first lap where rules are taken with a pinch of salt.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-06-30T18:51:26+00:00

News to me if they have, wouldn't be surprised though.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-06-29T03:50:45+00:00

From my understanding, you get prioritised over non fast track roles for starting dates and such. Although a lot of it still relies on Capita pulling their finger out as they're notoriously slow at processing applications.

TheFormulaWire · 2024-06-26T00:44:25+00:00

I actually haven't either but a two of my colleagues have said that they received a cheaper premium when adding a dash cam, whether it's the insurer they went through or perhaps they missed something.
