Speaking as an infantry guy I would like to see some incentives thrown to us older fellas who stuck with the infantry our whole career. I am presently employed outside of battalion and it seems that the tech/support trades are running near or over capacity but in the battalions (all 3 reg regiments) we are grossly undermanned.
It seems to me that the CF has all these wonderful incentives for techs and computer whizzes while at the same time printing these posters pronouncing that "It's not about the gizmos". Does that not seem to be a little contradictory?
As for the other combat arms branches I just want to know if you are just as bad off, manpower-wise as is the infantry?
We have to remember here folks, while there is a place for techs and support personnel, ultimately we have to put combat arms types on the ground in every little shyte hole that we go to!
