Back to the present, what do you all think about current promotion speeds etc within the RDF?
Should there be an expectation that it should take 2-3 years before loading onto a PNCO course and another few years after that before getting a POC?
If a member has got themselves up to speed, is performing very well and is putting in the hours - should they not be placed on a POC or PNCO course as early as possible (if there is recognisable potential)? Or do we believe that they have to put a number of years under their belt as a junior soldier/rating just to show their commitment?
Just to qualify my comments on the above; I do understand it will take time for a joiner to get from recruit to 3*/AB and I am suggesting the above for a scenario where you've a unit where vacancies exist and need to be filled at these levels.
