Since last october, speaking to my former colleagues in Infantry units, I get the impression that nothing has happened since the Reorg.
Traditional unit identities are gone, sometimes with the centres where they were located,
Training programs are non existent, apart from practicing for easter,
Those who try to transfer to a corps unit(where all the fun seems to be had) are having their requests delayed by unexplained forces.
Maybe its just something I have noticed within my own circle of friends, or is it a countrywide phenomenon?
The only units I see who are active are the Corps units and the Naval reserve.
Every other unit is suffering from dwindling numbers, while one local centre, previously a company HQ, has lost its phone, and another sits in the way of a major housing development, and is widely rumoured to be destined for a meeting with a bulldozer.
The Continued non attendance of its disillusioned post reorg members are accelerating this future.
Many see nothing but empty promises coming from brass since the reorg, with tales of courses and overseas all due to commence "soon", while those who see through the promises decide their spare time can be better spent elsewhere and drift away from the RDF to other more tangible things.
Or am I Imagining it?
