I know this topic is probably beat to death but I beleive it is an important one and should be debated as often as possible. So here it is again. Why do we continually allow our armed forces to be overrun with waste, while our General Staff gets bigger every day! But yet we (members) and the general citizenry rollover and think this is fine.
Recently, in a discussion I had with a close freind, who is now in Moosejaw for pilot training, I was made privy to some interesting events. This freind by the way, had to wait for four years to get a slot after the the entire training structure of the Air Force was gutted on a CF policy Change that lasted less then a year.....was told in an open briefing, by the General in charge of training (the General in charge of open breifings must have been busy) that the pilot candidates were to behave as gentleman and officers while on course and not go running to the press (no one had at that point gone to any new agency) about the minor detalis of their careers and training policy in the CF‘s. This was in regards to the Bombardier managed training center now responsible for training our Air Force. The General then went on to say, to snikering and giggles by the way, that the cousres were now on track and that the CF‘s did not forget about them and they were now entering into one of themost effective forces in the world etc etc.....by the end of that month the course dates were yet again extended canceled or rescheduled....course candidtaes were yet again sent home or RTU‘ed to the various museums, crosswalks and canteens they were kept at while more bugs were "massaged" from the training system. The final comment on this is; The friend I am speaking of had celebrated his 21‘st birthday two weeks after completeing his basic officer training course.... two days ago he celebrated his 24th...still no wings on his uniform.....
