I' ve heard same as Kermit
- at least one RDF promotional course is slated for next year, possibility of
one in a different category, and less possibility of the third
Then again, it's all down to what happens in the Budget
If we are reduced to 7 days FTT per member next year, all bets are off"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home.

I agree with Vamp369, why wouldn't they be run? Its not as if people were always promoted as soon as they got back from them. Better to do it and at least use the experience of the course (and hope the embargo gets lifted) than to cancel all of them. To cancel them would give the impression that things will never get back on track to people who have been waiting patiently and giving their best with the intention of being promoted eventually.Comment

That's the very opposite to what I was told by Bde Hq."Attack your attic with a Steyr....as seen on the Late Late Show..."Comment

Students expect to be promoted because thats what is usually done.
The norms have no changed.
There is 2 vacancies for CS in our unit.
Assuming no one comes in from another unit that means 2 sgts to be promoted when the embargo is lifted.
There is atleast 6 Cpls that have completed their Std crse waiting in the wings for those two posts so again assuming no one comes in from another unit that means 2 Cpls to be promoted when the embargo is lifted.
So why not have ptes trained and groomed to take those two Cpl posts?
The alternative is to operate with 2 less Cpls.
I suppose it could be argued that if we are running the unit short of NCOs the there is no reason for not continuing o like this.Without supplies no army is brave.

The life blood of any unit is it privates but..... they will not be trained to high standards or do anything without corporals (or which most units are already critically short).Comment

Thats alwys been said. Is there no life blood in the PDF non inf units?Originally posted by DeV View Post
There will only be 200 recruits.
We can either get them in to inf coys and train them properly then send them out to corps to fill posts.
Or piss about and each unit take a couple. Not be able to train them properly and have them so bored that they quit within 6 months.
Its time to knock down some of the empires!!Without supplies no army is brave.

It is easier in multi-unit barracks but what about the one horse towns?
They need to have a plan, they could carry on as is each unit get a quote etc but immediately detach them to a specific unit for recruit to 3* line training (to be completed over 12-18 months and then end the detachment.Comment

We have ran interviews for our potential NCO spots for next year so far as i know there is a pots course. In the East anywayComment

The tendance is to have an inf unit in a 1 horse town, which is a sub-unit of an inf unit in a multi-unit bks.
There is no point shooting the horse as they will need it to get to the bigger town.Without supplies no army is brave.
