The point is, qualifications are largely immaterial if you do not operate in the capacity you were trained in.
When was the last pathfinder platoon operation? Are there even enough torches in any unit to pull it off? Probably not. When is the skill set utilised?
Congrats on being safety staff, I noticed none of your units achievements WRT light trg were covered though. Care to elaborate? hmmmm?
The snipers are a "utilised" skill set, and the last ex demonstrated that perhaps they need a little more fine tuning - in the second Bn anyway.
The Para coy is also utilised in it's assigned role. I'm not going to lie and tell you that we are the best Light infantry company ever to walk the face of the earth, but at least we do jump, hump and shoot.
In my first post I clearly stated that;
So I advocated "all reg force cbt arms" to start with, should form the first selection.
But carry on with the jealous ranting, I for one am happy to say that I can do more in this army than occpy a LAV.
See you at the selection.

I would advocate keeping the selection process closed to all but reg force cbt arms, at least at first, because having a pre-requisite of reg force time (one or two years) would provide the source units with new manpower with which they could rebuild after the initial shock of losing troops to this new unit.
