Thanks for the blog post Harold and one in which I have shared the same frustrations - and in a similar environment.

Within the military (some not all cases), my experience has been that the people will come up with ingenious ways to train and support their people in time for their work or a deployment.

I have been in situations where we have used our own networks across the Services, ranks, bases and ships to locate, seek and search for equipment and tools that can be used to train our forces despite the constant obstacles that were placed in front of us.

However, if they provided importance to the need for analysis and a focus on performance, we wouldn't have needed to come up with solutions and get frustrated in the process!
