A lot of RDF camps have turned into binging sessions, fitness is non-existent, discipline and dress can be very poor and people who are not capable are given weapons. All this is "part of the culture" and "has to have a fun side to attract people". This is supposed to be an army, not a youth club. And what really gets annoys me are the people who complain and whinge that they should have this and that when they cannot be trusted to perform a basic task and cry off when any real work needs to be done.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

Or just not turn up! What I mean is if you have a week you commit for the week but if your working or what ever they can't make you do a saturday guard when you are not on camp!WARNING: Consumption of alcohol may lead you to believe that ex-lovers are really dying for you to ring them at 4am!!

lads i dont know where you get the impression where theres this 'hatred' of rdf from
to be honest we dont give ye a second thought because for the vast majority of us we have zero contact with the reserves.
im more busy thinking of getting my hole at the weekend than fermenting hatred for fellow soldiersReligion is like a puddle thinking that the hole in the ground that it sits in is so perfect for it that some higher being must have created it

Heres to killing the youth club ethos.
If only the people who propagate it could take a hint and shuffle off this part-time coil.
The only evil common from the PDF side of things is a bit of inevitable condescension. I know we are struggling to catch up after years of slide and mismanagement.
But please, please stop praising our enthusiasm!

eroo
The is really a lot of drinking on RDF camps.
Since you don't know this, I assume you are a recruit and prob going to your first camp - Chances are that it will be a dry camp - no drink for recruits. Doesn't stop the instructors though.
