So now that all that historical evidence of manhood is out of the way lets get back to the over seas topic.
As I understand it the Reserve is supposed to be just that, a reserve of personnel that the DF can call upon when needed.
When I signed up that meant that in time of need you would be required to support the DF. In the past that has meant many things as we have just seen.
But for the future, especially in relation to the press item above, please someone tell me how the Minister etc expects to have RDF professionals and Trades people serve over seas when they refuse to recognise the qualifications of those people.
In the past 6 mths I have come accross a number of mechanics, fitters, engineers, Artic drivers, coach drivers, crane operators, electricians, plumbers, architects and a demolition expert in numerous units that would like to be recognised. Even to the point of being willing to transfer to "appropriate units" but the DF has continiuosly refused to recognise them.
Considering the extremely slow pace that the DF moves how can they hope have RDF specialists unless of course they intend to have them as CIVVIS employed by the DF!!!!!!!!!
