Doesn't help that we can't provide a technical career for our officers, making us a clearing Corps.
You won't get any sympathy here, many of us have suffered at the hands of weak or frustrated officers (it's been an in-joke for years that the Signals soldiers came from the top third of recruits, whilst the officers generally came from the bottom third of Sandhurst).
Perhaps the Royal Corps would be better off accepting that it can't provide a technical career fot it's officers, cutting it's losses, and start looking for professionally qualified mangers to commission rather than the usual square pegs*?
* - To name a couple that I came across:
- Zoology MSc, perhaps she'd have been better off in the RAVC?
- Equestrian Psychology graduate!
- One I came across had a BA in Yacht Operations.....
