THe problem here is the assumption by the recruiters here that there is a similar approach as to joining the PDF.
The PDF GS recruiter can go back to a panel and it will still be ready to rock in most cases ;
a RDF recruit panel will be tumbleweed city by comparison because some other interest will have turned up. This is just a fact.
By far the largest retention indicator in the RDF is strong camaraderie and Esprit de Corps ;
the quicker you put people into a billet and into a tough recruit training platoon the faster this will form .
All of the system is squared against this happening at the moment.
