A point was made in another thread which got me thinking.
During my time in the job i seen lots of changes, some good some bad.
One of the biggest changes was the way soldiers were treated, particularly recruits. While i certainly don't advocate bullying, has training gotten to the point that recruits are being wrapped in cotton wool so to speak?
As i stated in another thread, as a serving NCO i (and my fellow nco's) were told by an officer not to shout at recruits as this now constituted bullying. In fairness to the officer, he was relaying orders from a higher authority.
So, while i'm not looking to find out if someone has shouted at you in the last year, I am wondering is political correctness ruining the establishments ability to turn out good soldiers?
