Before the thread on the subject of organising was closed I was accused of having no valid imupt ..
Everybody for got the 'P's
Proper Planning and Preperation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Every body who partakes has a responsiblity to make sure that at their own level all the personal admin is carried out in order to relieve pressure on those who have responsiblity for running exercises at a higher level.
If NCO's and officers have to run around after poorly prepared individuals with a percieved notion of what the higher ups responsibility towards the organisation of an exercise how can they be expected to plan an exercise without having to slow things down to a level where it may appear to be disorganised.?
Anyone who tells you that the PDF have no inclusion in the planning of any exercise is totally out of touch with what has to be organised behind the scenes before any exercise can ever take place.
Everybody on the exercise from the admin people down to the exercising people have responsibilty to make it work even at a level above their own..
If you want to play the blame game on those above your own rank... bring it on.... ask about how NCO's have to act in both directions at once to make things work?
How the basic level stuff is forgotten by those who have responsibilities unto them selves and those around them to be organised and not have to be spoon fed at every hands turn!
The level of self containment amongst junior soldiers is is very disheartning to say the least and is a constant nightmare to everybody in the command network
If the two star gunner , trooper, private ,signalman etc could at least have their own shit sorted it would be a gigantic step toward at least lifting a level of worry off some who are already under more strain than their rank dictates.
I have contributed to more exercises and madmark has been there along side in the same exercises, we have supported the same officers, even rescued one or tow from total damnation but always our greatest problem was dealing with less than switched on individuals in the lower ranks.
I find it typical of some one new in the door to the reserve to be willing to criticize well beyond a level of comprehension well above that of their own percieved knowledge.
The Re Org Situation moved the whole thing up a gear and many exercises have been conducted on a level far beyond that ever envisaged of the FCA twenty years ago.
Ok so you got a bad one or two, I could say the same but everyone was alearning curve because I was openminded enough to take some thing away.
the first PSO was a shambles but we did learn.. we came back for the next one armed with what we hadn't known the previous year...and we are NCO's... and hung around long enough to pass on the information.
Don't try tar every effort that people make with the same abortion type picture because some shambolic episode which went beyond your bounds of experiece didn't go quite the way you wanted it to go.
Its not a ****ing democracy and the RDF will not pander to your needs,
If you want patience and understanding ring the ****ing samaritians ... in the mean time let those who at least make an effort get on with it.
You want to play the blame game, have a look around at those who stand beside you and sort them before you blame those who lead you.
