Transcript of RDFRA pres to committee.
Opinion.
RDFRA supporting GP medicals is ruining us. WHAT THE FK are they doing supporting this ? What stupid people came up with taking the pressure off the DF to sort it and putting it back on individual reservists who a lot of the time end up paying out of their own pocket
FK ME the stupid is rife here. We now see the PDF Med Corps jumping eagerly over it because why the fk wouldn't you get out of bagger medicals. has no one any, ANY corporate memory here . GPs have NO business certifying military medical grades and that mets thing - its bollocks. complete and utter bollocks. As soon as you see the first cardiac on a three star course and the relevant court case will pin the blame on a GP when its the DF's fault. Get the fk back in the box and support members to get their military medicals . Policy here is NOT RDFRA's to consider. KPIs meeting if people can't get mil medicals its the DF's problem
No-one will be discharged for missing KPIs.
The rest of the transcript is overshadowed by the above - I cannot believe how out of touch RDFRA is here
I went looking for S7 on RDFRA's website - and oh look its vanished.
As has payscales and R5 ...
I'm a founder member and never has it been as far away from its members
Edit : I'd like to say some people are doing excellent work on strategy and employer engagement. BUT the primary focus is being lost, guys.Last edited by trellheim; 6 November 2015, 13:16."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "

Someone (RDF/RDFRA/PDF someone) came up with this good idea. After all, the MO doesn't have your complete medical history. Your GP does/should. And medical wise no one should know you better.
No RDF should be paying for them out of their own pocket, the GP invoices the DF (who also has to fill in a PO3 form to get paid).
However, an absolute clusterf*ck was made of the implementation. I know of someone who has had to get the GP form sent to the CMU 3 times. For whatever reason, the SMO refuses to sign. The unit is saying that without a MCC he won't be put as fit for ITs on PMS, and he can't then do ITs.
In fact, all this was supposed to do was add another layer of bureaucracy (in that you had to do it before FTT) instead of actually solving the issue with medicals. This implementation actually created more problems than it solves.
No-one will be discharged for missing KPIs.
No medical - no ITs - no FTT

Oh stop multiquoting it makes it illegible
On the issue of the GP, its a clusterfk from start to finish. No one enlisted the IMO or any of the rep organizations. Look at the shit they had to do to get the free under 6 care.
GP has no idea of the issues or problems surrounding military fitness grading, GP doesn't see AF30 or any disposal sheets for his records
It is rank bullshit from start to finish and just adds a layer of incompetent bureaucracy that an individual reservist has to handle without knowing the reality, talking to a GP who knows even less about the subject.
it is fking my people and badly all because the "Good Idea Fairy" decided to land somewhere in an RDFRA committee. FK OFF GOOD IDEA FAIRY.
Lesson 1: Stop giving individual reservists problems that are rightly the DF's to fix.
As for hiding R5 and S7 and payscales [ all three security unclassified documents ] behind a registration wall it just reinforces "out of touch bureaucracy" vibe I'm talking about.Last edited by trellheim; 6 November 2015, 16:45."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "

My AF30 only has passed medicals on it (and thankfully I've only had to go LD once for 24 hours - but that isn't on it and isn't on many peoples).
The DF have known for a long time that they can't provide annual medicals to the PDF, then they rightly decided that the 1500-2000 RDF should do them too, but forgot they couldn't resource it). That set up the SFC to fail.
I don't know if the whole METS thing is a medically recognised term. It could be.
But I absolutely agree it is a completely ill though out cluster!
It could have said on the form, for example, this is what ITs consists of, is person medically fit to attempt it.
There is other info in the same area that is private.

Of course there is private stuff, not simple publicly available stuff that people need to see.
My AF30 has 29 years of entries on it. and the multiple stapled shite on top
FK I'm in my 30th year in this kip"Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"

What percentage of the current RDF intakes are people heading straight to the PDF after passing out . I am seeing strong numbers. and good luck to them but for small recruit intakes its a big pity for the Reserve side."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "

Particular issue for units with a local major PDF element. It's almost a natural progression.Scheduled fun will commence at 1900Hrs.
Punishment beatings will continue until moral improves.
