The summer sessions are unfortunately not meant
to be convenient for every one. The dates are
somewhat the result of SALT, SALY and the limited, instructional
personnel and equipment resources.
NDHQ and subordinate HQs set the priority for allocaiton
of resources and that has never seemed to make
mcuh sense. Only by getting the Bde and Area HQs to see
your points will ever change the way things are done.
There is some merit to everyone doing some basic soldier training,
but the combat arms phase/classification training does
introduce those fundamental skills.
But let's get real! Some honest, Reservists will admit they are in it for the money, too.
Offrs do get more money to watch troopies kick those gun boxes and pound the parade square, than those kicking and pounding.
Cheers or tears for honesty?
