Army Reserve Restructuring

[Halifax Tar]

Appealing to that alone is why we can’t retain anyone. I know you know this.

I was 100% being factitious.

Ack.

Unfortunately I’ve heard people try and use that…

Patriotism, a sense of duty, love of Canada ?

If that’s what you’re looking for, you can already get all of that as a civil servant. What’s the extra incentive to put on a uniform? And quite possibly a metaphorical uniform, as we don’t even budget for uniforms for our current Supplementary Reservists, Maybe it’s as simple as that one week a year DAG being in a Hilton convention centre so you can bank some rewards points. Maybe it’s recognizing SuppRes service as counting towards the CD or a SUPPRES bar for the SSM similar to the RANGER bar. Maybe it’s a personal handshake and a thank you from your department’s DM. But it’s got to be something. There’s got to be some value added.
