    I've seen some of the BTC staff and quite frankly they all look like they have one foot in the grave.

    I know if the DF ever made the mistake of giving me stripes I would use sly tactics like that to get the energy leveles up a bit
    If they gave you stripes Farmbgas, recruitment would go down....... Rather sharply

    just wondering has there been any movement on a PTL course for the RDF? I know the BTC staff have done courses, but as for the rest of the RDF is there anything available? As considering that now there is a fitness requirement for POTs courses etc. It does not make much sense that they expect people to meet required levels with-out the appropriate instruction and training made available to them!

    Completely agree that RDF should have full access to PTL/PTS/PTI courses.The PTL is a short and relatively easy course which lets you bring troops for a basic warm up,run,cool down which in my exprience anyway I never I never had in the RDF and fitness is an essential part of soldiering.

    I actually think its the way we should be going and i hope it happens
    Two RDF NCOs were on that PTL course, and they both passed, afaik.

    In this months Connect there is a PTL course advertised. Anyone interested could contact their cadre staff to see if RDF places were allocated

    A PTL or (PT Leader) works under the supervision of a PTI or a PTS ( PT Supervisor) - all Potential NCO's do a PTL course- then some do a PTS course and then after a year the PTS's can go on the PTI Cse.

    Course length for a PTL is 2 weeks.

    So the PTL course should be open to the RDF.
    Thats where I was getting confused.
