George Wallace said:Shortage of Instructors is a Force wide problem. Perhaps the TOP should come up with a plan for experienced Instructors leaving the CF to have an option of becoming "Double Dippers" and stay in uniform as Reservists. They can even keep their hatbadges, as they would be in the Schools, or perhaps still in their Regiments, as Training Cadre on PRL. That would mean that no Reserve Unit would be responsible for their administration, even though they were Reservists. They could beef up the Regular Force Trg system as well as open up opportunities to run crses for the Reserves.
.....But we know that will never happen......eh! They would rather become Civvies and work for Calian or GD Land Systems.
George I think a lot of people would take part in such a scheme. It would mean that much of that hard learned lessons could be passed on to the next generation. It would be a good place for some of the wounded who can no longer serve, but want to. Perhaps some of the money to pay them could come from a pot outside of DND?
We had some old WO who served in Korea when i joined, they were the wise grandads of the unit passing on wisdom and stopping young officers and NCO's from making asses of themselves.
