Certainly hope this move may get more training for the reserves...

I have to bring it up with my CoC. Doubt it would happen, but I totally would. Waiting 2 years to be trained as a Pte. is a bit annoying. I had hoped to earn my cap badge this summer. Not happening until next year.Tow Tripod said:Sadukar09,
Come out to Wainwright. Their is still lots of tasks for the PRes summer training period. Bring a positive attitude and a great work ethic and you could be employed until 17/08/12.

I'm saying maybe it will free up funds for use in other areas, preferably training.CDN Aviator said:Has nothing to do with reserve training.
tomahawk6 said:I would agree CDN Aviator. This is what the US did to flesh out units that had been hollowed out under Clinton. The best move Gen Shinseki ever made as Army Chief of Staff.
We did what Canada probably cannot do without some additional legislative authority. Much of our Army's combat support units were moved into the reserve force.Reserve/NG units can be Federalized to meet the needs of the Army. Reservists/Guardsmen have their jobs protected by law.We can call up entire reserve units as needed. If Canada could do that it would ease the pressure on the regular force.

What I hear from my CoC is the budget cuts affected a lot of summer courses. We have many pers on PAT platoon for way too long. Not helping the fact is that next year standards are changing.
Haggis said:Courses are being cut due to lack of staff, not resources or money. If Reserve NCMsdon't want to gocan't take a summer off of their civvie work to go to Meaford and teach, then Reserve soldiers are not going to get trained.

Reservists aren't Regular Force that can just throw their ruck into the truck and frig off to a training base for three months. Even though we go through the same bullshit, year after year, the training system still tries to lump all the blame on lack and back of Reservist Instructors.

Jim Seggie said:And I concur. Several of my soldiers are police officers and can't get time off work.
In addition, our NCOs were on Arctic Ram, Bison Warrior plus other "fastballs".
Done. While potentially there was a link to the idea of resourcing PRes Summer training through the reduction of HQs (by reallocating full time PRes from sp to Reg F back to supporting the PRes), the link was tenuous. A separate discussion is warranted.Haggis said:Mods: perhaps it's time to split this off as a new topic?
Haggis said:However, when I see NCMs stating quite forcefully that "I want a tasking this summer anywhere but Meaford" then I know where the problem lies.
