Thanks for your comments Schwerpunkt.
Before I reply:
What are ‘CT officers‘?; and
What is ‘rampant OBN ing‘? (sounds fun - I might like to try it!
As for my comment: "I may finally be a SHARP ‘victim‘ - It was a joke. Seems to me that there are soooo many people out there who are victims of racism/harassment - I want in on the little game too. Unfortunately, since I can‘t claim special status as a physically challenged, lesbian of colour or something else because I‘m supposedly the #1 perpetrator of all things SHARP related. Yes, I‘m the single white male with all his limbs and faculties who has personally benefit from all things SHARP.
I‘d love to have an excuse for my shortcomings, too. That‘s all I meant. If this offends you (which I ought reasonably know it didn‘t), I‘m sorry.
As for SLT, I think any attempt to try and get loaded will be stonewalled. I can already foresee that it I will be told that it will come out of the unit budget.
SLT in a regular offr‘s career progression comes right after the all component (land/sea/air) basic officer selection course. Then they are sent to SLT and THEN to their respective element and MOC schools (seems kinda backwards to me - lets see if they pass BEFORE money is wasted on SLT).
After all this, a successful candidate is sent to his/her unit of employment. Their unit doesn‘t have to pay for SLT. Why should mine? We‘re all in this together, right? Or am I going to be treated as a 2nd class member of the CF?
There must be a way to try this. Call in it an exercise in administration.
I enjoy the challenge of being told that it can‘t be done!
Black-6, OUT!
