Hey shippers,
AS the title says i'mm looking for what people think should be done to improve the RNR both in the eye of the RN and from the reservists point of view?
We all know that there is no real place for democracy in the RN/R, so lets just use our imaginative freedom that we get in our spare time and have some good ideas for an ideal world.
Personally i think the problem is not the promises made in recruitment evenings. You know the ones where you are told that you can spend time at sea and you get to do all sorts of AT including sking on the alps. The problem lays in how long were told it will take. Lets face it, it is at least 24mth untill you can start to try and get time on board for any real length of time (not including days at sea for affiliates and families). Be honest about the length of time and perhaps the people who we do recruit will be williong to wait that length of time. Thus improving the standard of jack? Who knows.
