Prince Joachim, Current Events Part 3: June 2016 -

[Muhler]

The Ministry of Defense has stated that Joachim's assistant will take over as temporary Defense Attache, until Joachim has recovered sufficiently to be able to work full time again.

[Somebody]

Hmm, the Court sounds a bit more optimistic than the Ministry of Defense.

If I try to combine both, it seems that Joachim will start working on a therapeutic basis from Mid-September while his assistant takes up his role until he is fully fit for work again. That might create some tensions along the way - especially if his assistant is doing a great job.

[Muhler]

Well, unfortunately that's life.

If your replacement is better than you, you will end up being replaced.

And should Joachim's assistant really be better than Joachim, then I guess they will only stay in Paris for three years, while the assistant gains valuable experience and presumably will be appointed the next defense attache.

- That to me would be the most logic approach.

And speaking of assistant. Provided Joachim is fine and well suited, he is likely to stay in Paris for perhaps five years.
In which case I believe he will see at least two assistants.

I guess the assistant(s) will have a rank of major or lieutenant colonel.
Being an assistant to a defense attache to a major partner (France) is valuable experience. After say two years, the assistant will likely be promoted and perhaps stationed in connection with DK/French HQ, before perhaps returning to Paris to relieve Joachim in five years.
To again being relieved by Joachim next assistant.
- It would, I think, be a logic way to do it.

[Somebody]

I was more thinking along the lines that Joachim will still take up the position but it's harder to be someone's assistant if you yourself have done a better job.

But indeed, if the assistant proofs to be a good fit, s/he might be the next attache in a few years.

Very nice to see Prince Joachim is looking so well . He recovered fast. He must be happy to start his first day at work. I wish him the best.

Prince Joachim was appointed Brigadier General upon his employment.....but of what service branch, (Army, AF, Navy, all of them)? Also of what country? Would the Prince retain this promotion if he should return to his native country?

Thank you everyone.
