- Phase 1. The "List" where people were given the impression that their unit choice may have an impact on their final destination.
- Phase 2. Useless PONTI commandants selecting their pets for officer appointments based on seniority alone and farming off the wasters to other units
- Phase 3.Waster officers and commandant pets bin the list and give appointments to their equally useless, and in some case Non-Effective buddies who are NCOs
- Phase 4. The younger, efficient, recently trained officers and NCOs get put on the dreaded SWA list. Here they have no input into training programs without stepping on the toes (and being quickly slapped down) by the appointment holder
- Phase 5.Junior Officers and NCOs who no longer have any input into the unit activities stop turning up,
- Phase 6, as the appointment holders have no idea what they are supposed to be doing, having never done it before, the remaining rank and file stop turning up. Except of course for the tea drinking club.
Result, the organisation dies.
Of course this was not the case in every unit. Those who avoided the above make up the units that remain for Reorg Mk2. I was delighted to see KPIs which will cull the last of the wasters from the organisation. Close scrutiny from our PDF colleagues should ensure the timewasters get no breathing space. This should have happened in 2005 instead of the parish pump politics geographic unit spread that we ended up with.
I still insist that what should have happened then, and what I hope is happening now is that everyone who remains as a reservist in the Defence Forces must apply for their own job again.
Earn it if you want it.
