Leaked report shows basic training pass rate fell after military recruitment changes

[daftandbarmy]

Some of the reports on this matter are rather interesting. 7,000 of the 70 thousand applicants being accepted to CFRS Saint Jean doesn't seem to come anywhere near what used to be run through the Recruit Schools in a year. But I found one report saying that of those 7,000, just over 1,000 were Filipinos. 1 in 7 is a relatively high number, and that number is not including the recruits from Cameroon and Cote d'Iviore who have been creating quite the problem assaulting each other and disrespecting female candidates and staff. I question how foreign applicants can be processed in as little as three months, and Canadian applicants are taking three years or more. What is the logic/reasoning here?

I have my suspicions

The majority of those Filipinos, if not all of them will speak English.

Here's some lovely comparisons to the Brits, suddenly we look pretty damn good

Only 4 in 100 Army Reserve applicants make it through

That may be so, and I didn't notice it mentioned that they were in the Officer Candidate stream where all the cultural and sexual conflict seems to have presented itself.. But there is another problem with them, that unless they have become Canadian citizens, they are breaking Filipino Law. The Philippines have made it a criminal offence to serve in a foreign military. I would suspect that they have all become Canadian citizens in this event.

CDA is not the Army.

You can tell because their lessons learned system works.

Which reminds me of a famous quote

Ah yes my mistake, moving on, its unfortunate that at face value it looks like the recommendations of the report are being adopted because of the leak. Which critics are jumping on

To paraphrase Churchill:

"You can always count on them to do the right thing after they have tried everything else.”

Meh. As long as fixes are getting made, do we care what the Twitter peanut gallery says?

I wonder

Why is it unfortunate?

I hope that Lt Col doesn't get hammered somehow for embarrassing the CAF.

Because it makes it look like the CAF was forced to act due to embarrassment of the leak. Not the best look

 

[OldSolduer]

The whole lesson should be don’t allow one group to form a critical mass to influence or harass or do whatever to others.
We had this problem before in a few units and because of poor decisions by senior officers and their advisors one unit was disbanded.

Doubtful; he sent the memo months ago and some of it was already being actioned.

It’s too bad he’s posted out this summer, he probably would have done a great job continuing to move things forward.

I'm sure that someone, somewhere, right now, is figuring out how to punish him.

Unfortunately you’re probably right. Big egos hold grudges for a very long time
