      The vagueness of that statement really sums up the RDF to a T

          The problems with the RDF wont be changed by the Cadre

          it would be like the Turkeys (not the MOD) voting for Christmas,

          nor will the majority of the dyed in the wool senior Comdts- Senior NCO's realistically

          bring about any changes-

          the RDF needs young Captains and Lts and Cpls all kicking the door of promotion

          to set out exactly how the RDF develop from here- and it may only be lads meeting on the

          range- on an exercise- at IMO sessions etc that will utlimately determine how you acheive and

          attain your "Mission tasking".

          those determinations will be the what brings you overseas or not.
          Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
          Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
          The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
          The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
          The best lack all conviction, while the worst
          Are full of passionate intensity.

            i don't know but one of our lads went through the mill. His speciality was in recovery and was tild he was in the "choosen few" but then the rug was pulled. Reason given was over 40.

            As it happened the rug wass pulled on everyone a month later.

            • The problems with the RDF need EVERYONE to fix them:

              Including:
              The Minister
              DOD
              Finance Branch
              COS
              DCOSs
              All the Directorates
              GOCs
              Cadre
              PDF units & schools
              RDF units
              etc

              For example:
              we can't introduce complusory annual ITs without regulations to require it
              we can't train people to a useable level with the current mandays
              we can't train people who won't turn up
              etc
