Right, this is a topic that is open to all views!
TopMast was just put into action before I left the RN but from what I had seen it looked pretty crap (excuse the language). I can remember that the RN's presentation team had visited HMS Drake and held a seminar regarding how TopMast would work and how it would affect the RN's warfare branch for the better.
However, seeing a few of the TopMast OM's coming onboard, it seems to me the promotion rate was alot faster than it was of the previous OM trade. As a baby OM starting out as a 2, it could take you any where up to 6yrs to become an OM1 and awaiting a leadership course. The TopMast way had changed this.
I know a lot of people were unhappy as they basically had to retrain after 2/4yrs of being in the Andrew.
I am unsure if this is still running but if it is, has the way that the TopMast branch is being run, changed?
It would be good to hear of some serving members commenting about this, as you would have 1st hand experience.
