Springroll said:I know of 11 reservists here at CRPG BC DET who really want to go over, but are not being given the opportunity because their CO doesn't want to try and find someone to fill their positions. Now these reservists (for the most part) are "retired" Sgt's and WO's with tons of reg force time in.
Why is it such a fight for them to go over if they are wanting too? Most of them are ready to quit their job to go over.
Because, despite the member's desire to go, they signed a contract with the CO of the CRPG and he hired them for a reason. He has to weigh the impact of letting them go against the staffwork and incremental (and non-recoverable) costs required to source, hire and train their replacements all against the backdrop of delivering training and administration to his Ranger patrols.
If they really want to go, against their CO's wishes, they can simply quit their Class B's and hope to pick up another one when they return.
