CountDC said:Accommodation can be done but does have to be carefully managed. If too many are done then you end up deploying the same people and eventually they will burn out and become accommodation cases so eventually you have no one left to deploy.

I think you would find such a move would quickly work in the opposite direction you want. Currently, COs support retaining people because they know career manages cannot fill positions if they fall vacant (we don't have enough people). So a broken person becomes better than no person, and it costs the unit nothing. As soon as you create a dollar value opportunity cost for a CO to retain somebody, you will start to find units that take the money and dump the human.Lightguns said:One of the most effective things we could do to make the C of C more responsible for it's human resource decisions is to include Regular Force positions in unit budgets.

Whenever I am asked if I recommend military life to other women, my answer is always categorically: no.
This usually surprises people who know me because I am a vocal feminist, a bit of a tomboy and a six-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). I believe to my core that sex and gender do not, and should not, limit what you can do in life. But women and the armed forces just don't mix.

FSTO said:Well that recruiter who told the whopper of a lie should be charged.
ModlrMike said:You presume that it's the recruiter who's lying in this story. People don't generally tell tales that make themselves look bad.
FSTO said:True, my mistake. For her to believe that she would be able to be a medic and never go to the field is very naive. Then most people who first join the CAF have many misconceptions of what they are getting into.
