mics HELP out IN THE BIISH FEBRUARY 1980

Landlocked Rhodesia has been the unusual sphere of activity this year for nine officers and ratings of the Royal Navy'5 Medical Branch who form part of the British medical team flown out to help counter health hazards faced by forces in the bush.

Welfare funds’ cash boost Welfare funds of ships and establishments are to receive a £43,000 boost to offset sortie of the ravages of inflation. The General Welfare Grant, which has remained unchanged at £27,000 for more than 20 cars. goes to .lI70.(X)0 and is also to be for reviewed regularly in future. The higher grant for next year means, for example. that a Leander-class frigate which has been receiving about £95 will now get about £260. This is based on an increase from 36p to £1 per head.

I am very keen that the liaison which exists between Drafting Division and the fleet should be maintained and even improved. Quite clearly we cannot have everybody ringing up to ask about his next job but queries about a problem are acceptable from Divisional Officers and Heads of Section. Make use of the system. From time to time your ship or establishment is likely to receive a visit from it Drafting Chief Writer who will have come to see if there are any questions from anyone. Make use of him.

As I you know by now my policy has been to bring .'aval Drafting Division to you to the ittaximum extent possible and in the rocess to explain how drafting is done. what I c current problems are. how you are affected by them and to give you it chance to ask questions about the system and about yourself. -

The initiative lies with indlviduitls to help themselves to the system and you will find no lack of response from the Drafting desks.

Improvement

My aim has been to dispel any illusions that drafting is run bv the Centurion Computer in an impersonal way but that every draft is carefully considered with all known factors being taken fully into account. I have often made the point that one of these factors is personal details and that we are vitally interested in them. Only you can give these to

everybody

“Another satisfied customer!"

I think there has been some im rovement in the renderint of DPCs but we stil come across PCs are iriadequatclv filled in. or cases where worse. no DPC has been rendered for anything up to five years. Personal considerations are highly likely to have changed in that time and we would be drafting with insufficient knowledge. So keep us up~to-date with your changing ciu:umus.

\'Il.lnC¢.‘.\'.

l have also been pointing out to my audiences that your previous pattern of drafting is closely

considered in deciding your next job. ‘there are fewer people serving out of first reference ashore than many think:for example. I e figure for both General Service and Submariners is one in eight. it is unusual for anybody to be drafted out of running and unlikely in preference in two consecutive shore ra ts. Drafting Division would prefer to have nobody out of preference but the Service requirement must be met if at all possible and since the number of preferees per base port does not equal the

billets (it would be a miracle it shortage must be bolstered h_v elsewhere.

It sounds a lot of money but you would be pleasantly surprised how quickly you could build up such a sum with the help of Save & Prosper. Through theSave & Prosper Guarantee Plus Savings Plan, a man of'34 could provide for a guaranteed sum of £10,000 at age 60 plus a bonus of around £9,000 (assuming growth in the fund at a not rate of 8% p.a.) for a total net underlying contribution ofjust under £21 a month. This assumes tax relief at 17§% throughout the lifetime of the plan. At the same time your life could be insured for a minimum of £10,000. Interested '?

Kingfisher not El the highest

Tlte claim of H.M.S. Kingfisher that at -15.5 metres she became "the highest warship in Europe" must surely be

tongue-in-cheek.

In June 1979 H.M.S. Cutlass and H.M.S. Sabre visited Basie in Switzerland. In the city's official brochure. presented to each member of the ship's com any. the height above sea lcvc is quoted at 900 ft.. or approximately 300 metres. As Basle is also 850 kilometres from the sea we jointlv claim both "highest warship in Euro and "farthest warship inlan in Europe" records. M. W. Vllest. CPO. H..\l.S. —

That reason was the historic resurrection of Pusser's Rum. This time. however. it is not being roduced by the Royal Victualling ards but in the new bottling plant of Mr. Charles Tobias. an American citizen who now lives in the Virgin Islands. He obtained the old Pusser's Rum recipe from the Admiralty. and now produces the "tot" commercially. Old hands in the Arnbuscade who sampled the new version claimed it was rather smoother than its predecessor. To mark the launching of his new brand of rum. Mr. Tobias has given £l0.IXX) to the Sailors’ Fund the fund set up on the demise of the lot. He has also covennantcd a percentage of the sales on every case.

But it‘s an interesting int. Does a Service wife need to be somet in special? Should be more Jack. with his roving careful than the next man in choosing his life partner? And does he need instruction in what to look for in a wife? When it comes to sweeping her off her feet. Jack may well be the boy, but what about the reality of the separation she will inevitably face sooner or later? these marital thoughts is the news that t e Army is experimenting with courses on married life which. among other things. aim to tell young soldiers what to look for in a wife and how to keep a family together in a military environment.
