Rowshambow,
Just curious if you had your ILQ before? And are you being made to do CAP?
I know some of the clerks you said were WOs, but were they A/L (no ILQ yet) WOs? If so, that is likely why they ended up on BOTP.
Seems like the some of the same issues still exist at CFLRS...mainly, different standards for IAP/BOTP candidates within the 3 Div's.
I am not, by the way, saying I agree with the policy of the 'thou shall wear a cornflake', but they should ATLEAST make it a School standard. I never could figure out why the SCWO seemed to leave that to the DSMs but it was always something that was talked about in the bullpen.
I guess in the 'interest of uniformity', all IAP candidates don't wear the cornflake until...what Week 4 or something isn't it?
The last I heard was, as I said...PLQ qual = IAP bypass and ILQ qual = BMOQ bypass...but that could have changed.
And to add some most mud into the unclear waters, I have known of Infantry WOs that had their 6B/DP3B or whatever it is called today ;D AND their ILQ and...yup, had to do BOTP. Go figure.
There is a hole in the process that should be corrected and promulgated NAOTIONALLY to all the PSO shops and other responsible agencies involved with the programs that take selected, deserving NCMs that are making the step into the Officer world, and maybe it needs the have the word "shall" in it alot! 8)
have you guys thought about addressing this "the PSO didn't do PLAR" issue to your CoC? It won't get you back your 7 weeks but...it might prevent the same stuff from happening to the next crop of folks to go thru the sausage machine.
"Leave it better than you found it" type thought...
