My opinion on this is that all recruit training camps should be conducted under the BTC, and that way they are at a higher standard. And standardised by the people who are running the show in terms of getting NCOs up to standard too.
However, I do recognise that the BTC would be under resourced to accomodate such an idea.
But I would suggest that all NCOs requested to attend the camp should have achieved a grade B on a PNCO course.
Thereby ensuring that they have a high standard of training and that they would be up to the task of training recruits, and ensuring that all instructors are up to a high level.
As opposed to the way it is done at the minute - whereby it is down to whatever NCOs are available.
Post PNCO course, that instructor has grown into a better instructor, and is better suited for passing on what they know and moulding peole into soldiers in their own image.
I know this is not an ideal probability, but its a good place to start. The centralised training of all recruits is one of the very few good things that the re-org managed to successfully implement.
Getting rid of it is a bad move in my eyes.
