I think we come back to the compelled to train / voluntary training issue in our monthly reserves restructure debate, and thats the crux of it. If the reserves is a "show up if so inclined so a period that suits you" approach then im not sure serious reform is actually worth it.
Weekends. One weekend a month is double the training time of four parade nights at the same cost to the army and less transit time for the member. Ack your concerns about courses essentially being every weekend but how is that different from now? What is a viable solution?
Distance to a support base can be a full days drive. Do you expect people to be trained on equipme they can't access?

Im not saying it never happens but I dont think the Div commander is getting a C130 / 330 to fly him to Pet for a conference when we can...
Same on three div. Of course we never had Land Force Area Patches so maybe we'll just never replace them.
