Assessments 2012

[trellheim]

It wouldn't be hard to have all NCO's and officers come in on a Sat/Sun/full weekend once a year to get the info and then implement it into training

This is one of the reasons this assessment is being extended to try and see if this format is better for pushing base doctrine down to where it needs to get to.

[hptmurphy]

Perhaps the assessments should be extended from 2 days to 7 so that this could be addressed.

have to agree, Assess the whole unit rather than the section, platoon on the ground, from the top down...and then disband them!!!

[apod]

Although they may know all about the new doctrine, thats no good on an assessment. New TTP's need to be passed on first before they can be assessed. It wouldn't be hard to have all NCO's and officers come in on a Sat/Sun/full weekend once a year to get the info and then implement it into training

All ye have to do is ask.We are there.We have the knowledge.we can pass it on.
one caveat.
Nothing more disheartening for outside instructor to put alot of time into a presentation/skills lesson and then only have a few turn up.maximum numbers would need to be sorted beforehand.

As posted early on in this thread about buying boots, DON'T if the PDF officers and staff want to see the RDF to there standards, then give them to tools to do so, ye do no favours to yourselves by buying kit that should be issued.

When I joined up the only boots on issue to RDF were the barrack boots (24bs?). I spent nearly €200 on meindls which i have for nearly 8 years at this stage, they should last another 2. I haven't had the time to travel to the nearest clothing stores to my barracks to pick up Magnums which is almost 100 miles away. So in your infinite wisdom I should have soldiered on for years with cardboard 24bs and then upgrade to magnums which are shite anyway? Instead of €20 a year I should endure blisters and discomfort for a couple of weeks at a time? You'll go far.
