They now take :
2Lt on course with MCpl to learn basic Crew Commander - 2weeks
2Lt on course with MCpl to learn Patrol Commander - Defence - 2weeks
2Lt on course with MCpl to learn Patrol Commander - Offence - 2 weeks
2Lt on course with Sgt to learn Tp Ldr in the Defence - 2 weeks
2Lt on course with Sgt to learn Tp Ldr in the Offence - 2 weeks
Sgts take and are scored on the Tp Ldr course as qual for Tp Ldr\Tp WO
2Lts are only scored on Tp Ldr duties only. Ergo the Tp WO is qual‘d as a Tp Ldr, but the Tp Offr is not qual‘d to be a Tp WO. So, a 2Lt can go to the G spot and come home a Tp Officer after 10 weeks of the most glorious erectus penii the Circus of Excellence can dish out. A Tp WO spends years meeting the same criteria, however he is still up on the Tp Officer, no matter what they think. All on Iltii, I might add, (being the plural, I‘m guessing), the Coyote being to expensive and technically challenging for the Reserves, leaving them with the mud recce role in CRV‘s. Must be why the Regs went to the Armoured Corps conference and tried to get the new CRV taken from the Reserves for their own use, maybe the Gelendawagen( if that‘s it) is too technically challenging for the Reserves also (according to some) or maybe cause it‘s just a new piece of gear. Maybe, now the bloom is off the rose, and new kit is to be had, they‘ve realised you can‘t do sneak and peek(mud) recce with a big honkin survellience vehicle. Sorry, went off on a tangent That‘s the facts. One‘s the Troop Officer, the other is the Tp Leader. That will never change. However, what does, is with the new modules in January, all the above is redunant and nothing more than has been info and brown bottle bitching. Let‘s see how the new, new, new, new, system works. :blotto:
