This not unique.
The Irish Navy is almost unable to put to sea due to lack of qualified sailors. They stopped recruiting a few years ago to keep costs down, cut pay due to the recession, never raised them again and were surprised when nobody stuck around. They can just about manage to do the job in the mediterranean.
Same thing that happened with the nurses, actually.
Or the Coast Guard helicopter that was up flying solely because anyone qualified in the Air Force had gone home for the night - and which flew into an island that hadn't been loaded into its flight map.
I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
