A bit of a stretch to justify "50%" ....especially since the PLQ wasn't being run in-theatre.Shamrock said:Course officers and theHow would running a PLQ for Cpls justify officer positions?sundresundry leadership required to run a PRB.
PuckChaser said:There'd be no Ptes/Cpls on the tour if they didn't run a PLQ, and someone would start asking questions about why we have a 950 pers roto full of officers when the CDS said there would be opportunities for Ptes/Cpls to deploy post-Afghanistan.

CDN Aviator said:There's no "us VS them". The CF will send who it wants to send. Ptes and Cpls will just have to go on doing what they are told to do and go where told to go. If it turns into a roto full of officers, that just how it is, deal with it and do the jobs you are assigned.

Moe: I concur, that's what I've heard from the various pers that have come back from Attention. Granted, a tour is only as good as you make it out to be, but I can see a lot of people trying to jump on this one for the GCS check-in-the-box to say they've been to Afghanistan. They changed our training at the last minute to actually include soldier skills, because someone didn't think we were deploying to an active warzone and didn't need to cover things like convoy drills and have TCCC courses run.

PuckChaser said:I have 3 Cpls in my group... some don't even have DP2 courses yet.
NFLD Sapper said:Maybe they are "training aids" or drivers for ya.....

PuckChaser said:Training aids.... perfect. I'm going to use that one.
I'd agree with you, Hurricane. Anyone on the replacement pool should have been given first shot, since they've already done the training. I think there was a little bit of Big R and little r politics at play since a lot of the replacements are RegF pers (that I've seen).
Last PLQ I was involved with included emphasis on MCpls being leadership role models.PuckChaser said:I'm sorry, I guess I haven't learned "suck it up" yet. Just because that's the way things are, doesn't mean we don't have cause to complain about it.
