What is killing the RDF?
I have heard it is a combination of things-
But one of the main things is people in the higher positions and the old-schoolers wanting to hang onto the "good old days" and keep it as a drinking club. And as a result this mentality is passed onto other members of their unit. From recruit up.
I have seen this go on a fair bit (and too much for my liking) and I don't think that it has any place in the army whatsoever.
And I am referring to people really overdoing it night after night on FTT. And I mean a little bit more than one or two.I think it is something that gives people in the RDF an incredibly bad name, as it leads to everyone being painted with the same brush.
This also seems to have a knock on effect of driving out people from the organisation because they are not interested in this outdated culture. A case of "thanks but no thanks".
For the record, I am not "bag bashing" as I have time for members of the RDF who are willing to approach things with the right mentality and get stuck in.
But for those who think of it as a drinking club, don't bother wasting my time as well as yours.
