Starting a thread here , first of several .
Several of the ideas have been done out before but they are of their time, so I want to see what people are thinking NOW
I will be starting others on
1:regional recruiting [ problems and advantages]
2: Attrition [ Why do we have such a high loss rate ? ]
so hold off on those problems
There are different draws to the Reserve... What do you think they are ?
e.g.
all the local lads are in it
all me mates joined
it's what you do at 16/17
want to serve the State
Guns ! Guns ! Guns !
looking for something to do
Starter for the PDF
[ For women : ] Wahey... tons of men
No whinging about
it would be better if [ x,y, and z pet suggestions ] were implemented.
The other side of the coin :
Why DON'T people want to join ?
e.g.
that's the Free Clothes Association [ ha-ha , haven't heard that one before]
bunch of sandbags [ ditto ]
I work to pay my mobile phone bill.. haven't got time for that
Dublin social life is expensive and takes up all my time [ insert own locality as appropriate, but life in the Pale is definitely expensive, lads ]
What , people shouting at me ?
Can't stand authority
Am lifelong Indymedia subscriber/member of Communist Party
what ? never heard of you , we have an army now ?
I'm 28... they're all children in that, aren't they ? why should I join to play with kids [ if you're trying to attract a more experienced person ]
[ for women ] Girls ? Army ? Broken fingernails ... ewwwwww
just a few pointers and food for thought . I'd like feedback.
