1 and 3 RCHA will be in shilo still, could they come out to suffield to shoot? Sure but infrastructure wise suffield has a lot of room to grow, especially with the British withdrawal. New shacks, messes etc

I thought the British were back?

The plan is to run BRT out of the NRDs across the country. Ideally situating the recruit as close to their home as possible.

This is the dumbest friggin thing I've heard today. The current NavRes BMQ construct is a failure. 24 units, 25 standards. And they don't have remotely the staff or facilities to actually run this anywhere but near a major base. I've seen the products of remote BMQ from the NavRes "accelerated" entry program. Garbage entitled dumbasses because their unit CO's are worried about numbers not quality, so discipline is lacking severely.

Send them all to a central location and be done with it. Or at least a regional location. And make them stay overnight.

Trade and element dependent with the air force being the most flexible. For example, the RCAF will allow senior Captains affiliated with land aviation to do the CA's AOC in lieu of the RCAF's ASPOC so that those personnel better understand their CA peers (and clients). Meanwhile, nobody is making dentists do AOC, even though they are all green DEU. They do the JSOP course offered by CFC.

Really we probably need a bit more rationalization on what purple really means to different trades, units, etc.

AOC is a Major's course. ATOC is a pre OFP course.* As such the purple idea.

*I was corrected below... ATOC post OFP

This would be the best way to train a professional force.

Both courses are post OFP. Junior captains attend ATOC. AOC is typically the gateway from mid-range captain to high range captain.

So what's the one that happens after BMQ, where Jr officers go and learn how to do a section attack etc...
