Hi all,
Why do we outsource so much trade related work to civvy contractors?
I came back from a tour once only to find that the block had flooded with turds while we were away.
We had guys wanting to fix the bogs who were plumbers by trade, but weren't allowed to touch the toilets because it was a civvy's responsibilty and god help us if we did.
It always gets me why we have to send our guys on trade refresher training every time they go on tour.
They should be doing this sort of thing all the time and I don't just mean building unloading bays/barbeques/plynths for Sqn plaques as a favour for someone.
We should have tradesmen that work on rotation through a garrison support unit and not pay through the nose for civvies.
