Actually, the question was addressed in the original post - "I'm not talking about collective training where the the pl comds/coy comd's are the PTA." Seems the "DS" here are better at typing and flaming than they are reading.
When a body of soldiers revives a leader who they already have a poor impression of (be it because he was a poopy troop who CFRed, or they got to observe him first learning what's what as an OCdt), it makes life unduly difficult for that officer. It's better if the troops have no impression, and...
I'm not the one who started the pissing contest. That was the "Directing Staff"
As for your point, you can't really compare the dynamics between off'r/NCO in the RCAF to that in the infantry.
I answered yours, now answer mine: Do you think it's a good idea for junior officers to be doing their small party tasks (for their first time) in front of thier future subordinates prior to them going off on their pohase training. Have i got that right?

CFR's are already coming from a place that gives them credibility in the eyes of the the troops. And even then, those CFR's aren't (or shouldn't be) doing their officer training in front of their troops.
Something i want to address is the training of junior officers (OCdts/2Lts) at the unit level in preparation for their career courses.
I'm seeing this occur in my unit, and was wondering if this is common in the reserves, or just an isolated thing in the unit in question. I know in the Reg F...
