Time to paraphrase:
Shock and awe â “ original post intended to piss everyone off worked.
Fully acknowledge what it really is to be a reservist (talking about the people who contribute as normally full time civilians and then add the military side â “ twice the citizen one pam said).
Question remains â “ do any reservists above the rank of Cpl feel there is any professional obligation on their part to make the same level of sacrifice that they would have to for an overseas deployment to give their operational experience to the training system outside of their home unit?
I know it's not the same â “ no medals, no tour money on the surface, no new challenges and experiences (which is a big part of why people join IMHO). But knowing that the training system is so short of pers that we have to keep hitting the field force â “ is there any feeling on the armoury floors that this is something that as leaders of all levels they should look at, making this sacrifice? Not talking about the Class B call out as a source of income; rather hey I'm going to take a semester off school to work at a area training center/CTC cause I have something valuable that I can pass on? That you're going to make the same level of sacrifice to your job/family/regular life that you would to go overseas to help out those who will go after you.
