I have to completely disagree - if the 2013 reorg was anything to go by, you put in the work and you get shafted. Having a course done in the DFTC seemed to be a big black mark against you when it came to handing out appointments. I saw a lot of good guys and girls screwed over and left to rot. And those who spent their time in the mess or the canteen kissing the CO's & CS's arses came out on top smelling of roses.
Can you remember how long it took for the DFTC to get students back on courses after that?!! I remember 2014 as being the year when no one, and I mean NO ONE, would do a DFTC course as it mean you wanted to commit career suicide. 2014 was the year when you trained with your sub-unit, spent all your time in the mess, laughed at the COs and CSs awful jokes and hoped that you would be thrown a crumb or 2 from the top table.
A lot of the best people could not take it anymore and left. People were screwed over in 2005. They fought back and got back into the organisation through hard work and determination. And got screwed over again in 2013. I know many of them and it absolutely broke their hearts and souls.

But In a particular Bde absolutely yes people who had emigrated go assignments and people who were active were supernumerary/posted out of Bde.
How did people apply for assignments when the units in that Bde weren’t parading? How did they get the briefs?
It came down to poor (in some cases very questionable) admin for years previously.
