Meaningful progress happens when we challenge perspectives, engage in dialogue, and push for better standards.
Imagine the view from Greenland.....

If only they had listened when your system was offered.

Tricky to hide. Here it is, moored in the Moray Firth.

About as viable a project as AJ-AX....

Have we managed to expend the stock of Watchkeeper?

It's staggering that, while a number of Service Personnel and contractors' staff were aware of significant issues over the entire programme, MoD still haven't realised the value of an independent disclosure platform. We've a webapp that can just do that for less than £6bn.

MoD declined it in 2022

@tandhesi.bsky.social It's a scandal that it took social media posts to alert people to the serious issues around AJAX. Do you think it's time to revisit proposals put to the MoD Project JEDI team for an independent platform to support Service Personnel & veterans in raising serious matters?

I wonder how 'success' will be measured?

There are a significant number of Veteran Aware Trusts unable to meet Accreditation Standards Six and Seven, because staff are unaware of the requirement or the Trust doesn't have the required mechanisms.

Six years since launching the Veteran Aware scheme, and we're now getting a training package.

The big question that the VMF (and society at large) appears to shy away from is defining “mobility” in a physical mobility sense

If anyone knows of a definitive explanation or academic paper on the topic, I’d love to hear about it!

Thanks for triggering some wonderful memories of 13 years spent in NRW. Including that crossing....

Sounds like a gauntlet has been thrown down.

How odd.

The forces involved can be horrific. There's a case to be made for investigating the long-term effects on Service personnel who've used RIBs as part of their employment.
