'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

In theory yes. But most people are just glad to walk away when they go, especially those that go earlier than mandatory retirement ages, there are obviously exceptions and I am all for a way of facilitating those that want to be able to perform in some way to the DF.
The idea of essentially volunteering to do my old job when I have moved to a new, better, better paying job just does not appeal to me or anyone else that I know.
Do you think that if the DF was a better place to work that could change (considering all RDF activities are now paid)?

Originally posted by batterysgt View PostI love the volunteerism that the RDF now brings, I wish I had the same conditions when I pick rubbish with my local tidy towns or traing basketball with my local club. Need garda vetting and coaching courses for those, but don't get paid, Imagine what membership costs would be if if I was.!
and most national equivalents pay for all attendance

The desire is for a professional interoperable reserve …. You can’t liken that to a voluntary community or amateur sports organisation
now that all training can be paid, I’d argue the RDF is only voluntary in that people aren’t forced to join
