I went to MMD in '76. If I recall correctly he retired from the RegF in 79 and then transferred to the ARes and became CO of the RWpgR.

It's important to remember a soldier doesn't come to you with a clean slate and empty bucket. They have a past and a past Ops Tempo.
Speaking only for my own lane, I was very upfront with my current CoC that I was gone 289 days last year and I intend to use this year to rebalance with my family as I am going back into the hopper again this coming summer.
I also think, in the Army, the RegF lacks knowledge about what is required/expected of RSS staff. And many times people are posted into those positions to give them a break or to let them be closer to home to deal with some situation. While I was G4 Sup in 36 this pretty much the case for all of the reg force people who I interacted with in our various units.

And that’s a problem. RSS positions should not be used as a “break” or a place for broken people in the first place.
If they can’t properly support the units they go to they shouldn’t be there. I’m not saying they should be abused but if they can’t be there when Reservists do the bulk of their training then we are better off just filling those jobs with actual reservists.
