    I'll leave the conspiracy theories up to you.

    One small observation. I note that the FOI request was made by a Mr Kanye West.

    I know a 15 year 2 star AB who hasn't passed his fitness test since 2004. Not medically downgraded not MBOS either. Not been kicked out for failure of RNFT. It looks like the only way they are getting rid of him will be via the redundancy tranche. He gets a fair bit of money through that. If they got rid of him for failing RNFT's they wouldn't have had to pay a redundancy package

    Exactly, bet the fat cunt thinks its funny too? It's amazing for what essentially is a fighting force, how many fat useless twats there are strutting around the navy.Effing disgrace. If you can't pass your fitness test, which to be honest is a joke at any time of the year not just when you have prepped for it, you should be launched out. Full stop. A little but draconian but you will get no sympathy from me.

    I didn't attend his funeral but wrote a nice letter saying I approved of it.

    In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.
    They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....
    It is an utmost proudness of myself to have met these men, those lords that I salute, praise and admire.

    "Name and shame" (f*ck PERSEC) - if what your saying is true then his Line Management chain want shooting; there is a clear administrative process for dealing with RNFT "serial offenders", which doesn't look like it's being followed.

    Not so much a way of life - more like an adventure!
