Why are RDF being discriminated against? Hardly conducive to cohesion & a single force concept ? I'm glad I left now. 'They' want the RDF to 'step up' but there seem to be more obstacles being put in their way than are on the actual obstacle courseLast edited by bunny shooter; 10 July 2013, 16:22.

But yes, the Prisoner is correct in what he states about that location, as I have heard that also

AFAIK the gym in the DFTC can still only be used if you have a programme and trained on equipment by a PTI (that's fair enough I think).

There is no joined up thinking in the DF!

so when some of the lads i know do the PTL course... they will be qualified to do stuff that they now aren't allowed to do! eggsellent.
ok seperate matter, but related nonetheless to the RDF...
what are the exact metrics that soldiers must achieve to remain effective this year? Is it written down anywhere? Ive heard the number "32 hours of parade nights" thrown about including a caveat that says FTT on annual camp will not be considered, that they must turn up for 16 nights in 2013 to their assigned barracks?
anyone the wiser to this?"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

Now you say it I recall hey did and will ask tonight again. Just couldnt remember what the exact kpis and conds were."He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

The parading KPI is training parades, not full time training. FTT is a separate KPI.
BTW - and this was one of the first things we did on forming our new unit - was a detailed brief on the AdminO and individual/sub-unit KPIs so that people knew what they had to do to remain in the Reserve as this is something you must know. If you don't have the KPIs then pm me with an email address for a copy."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"

You'd have seen both PDF and RDF NCO's instructing RDF troops.
So yeah, regardless of all the doom and gloom talk, some places are trying to make it work.

Originally posted by Fridge Magnet View PostI'm surprised you haven't asked why, if RDF troops want to use the gym in barracks, didn't they join the PDF?
it's a good incentive to keep lads fit and make the most of the facilities.
