Hi Ya‘ll, I am going to throw out a question that is principally of interest
to the reservists out there, however all input is appreciated.
Does any one parade for one full Saturday or Sunday every 2 week as opposed
to a half day every Tuesday or Thursday evening?
We presently do the later, but I think the merits of the bi-monthly full day
seems obvious
a.. More time to plan and perform training.
b.. Less conflict with peoples lives twice a month as opposed to 4 times
per month
c.. Greater likelihood of getting troops out for 2 big days rather than 4
small evenings.
A significant problem is that most of the senior personnel i.e. Sgt and
above spend a good part of the evenings in meetings. As for the rest, by the
time you get set up to do a class or training session, it‘s time to take it
down and send everyone home.
It seems that you could put on some significant training with a full day to
do it as opposed to a few hours.
What do you think...

Am really wondering, Randy...
If there is no training..and training does not happen in an Armory
classroom...your man-days are going down the toilet...
Half days are admin nights, to be kept to a minimum staff, to preserve
your training WEEKENDS...or so to my belief...or maybe this is just the
way some "old" SOB was raised..

John, The only "weekend" training we ever seem to get is when we go to Ft
Lewis for an MTSC eval. Taking a weekend day for new training would be
great but it doesn‘t seem to happen.
Some reasons for this may be
a.. there isn‘t enough money to pay the man days for weekend training
b.. It would be a new way of thinking about training that we haven‘t
adopted yet
c.. the will may not be in place to try this, there is often a strong
contention that "this is the way we have always done things"
I am not about the criticize, especially not on these means, the question
was posed to elicited thought and ideas not make inferences.

Well...
One of the difficulties of being PRes is the idea that you‘d have to
work 24/7...and there‘s the place that PRes types need to
concentrate...in my opinion, of course. Most do quite well, gven the
opportunity. So why don‘t the units "create" the opportunity?....?Don‘t
want to go there, thanks...
The answer would be that Safeway pays more to pack groceries than a
reservist can make for a full day‘s pay..
Its no criticism of any given officer or NCO that if you get paid ten
bucks an hour just for an instance...for being on the parade square,
you‘ll be more motivated than one that‘s making five bucks..for doing
whatever the Sgt says...let alone the perception of oneself...loyalty
etc etc retention..recruiting...
In the field, in my opinion, your guys come out a bit more, and ‘buddy‘
systems are fostered...and retention is enhanced...but you have to PAY
THE MEN ...
Because we now non-serving typeswill pay them good money to work in
civvy jobs, at premium pay, and we will steal every single one of them
that is of any use, and you can go figure why...
The number crunchers at the top of the system have not yet caught on to
"real life"...ie can you make a go of it given what you offer,...

John, The only "weekend" training we ever seem to get is when we go to

Some reasons for this may be
a.. there isn‘t enough money to pay the man days for weekend
training
b.. It would be a new way of thinking about training that we haven‘t
adopted yet
c.. the will may not be in place to try this, there is often a

I am not about the criticize, especially not on these means, the

Hello Randy
In the Montreal Region most units do Admin on Tues evening, Training
every Saturday all day Saturday and then every 4 to 5 week do a complete
weekend in the field, ie: Friday evening to Sunday afternoon late. This
type of training schedule maximizes the effeciency and impact of
training and also means that more soldiers can actually attend to
furthering their own experiences with a large degree of professionalism.

John,
The only "weekend" training we ever seem to get is when we go to Ft Lewis
for an MTSC eval. Taking a weekend day for new training would be
great but it doesn‘t seem to happen.Some
reasons for this may be
there
isn‘t enough money to pay the man days for weekend training
It
would be a new way of thinking about training that we haven‘t adopted yet
the
will may not be in place to try this, there is often a strong contention
that "this is the way we have always done things"
I
am not about the criticize, especially not on these means, the question
was posed to elicited thought and ideas not make inferences.Randy

Well...

One of the difficulties of being PRes is the idea that you‘d have to
work 24/7...and there‘s the place that PRes types need to
concentrate...in my opinion, of course. Most do quite well, gven the
opportunity. So why don‘t the units "create" the opportunity?....?Don‘t
want to go there, thanks...

The answer would be that Safeway pays more to pack groceries than a
reservist can make for a full day‘s pay..

Its no criticism of any given officer or NCO that if you get paid
ten bucks an hour just for an instance...for being on the parade
square, you‘ll be more motivated than one that‘s making five bucks..for
doing whatever the Sgt says...let alone the perception of
oneself...loyalty etc etc retention..recruiting...

In the field, in my opinion, your guys come out a bit more, and
‘buddy‘ systems are fostered...and retention is enhanced...but you have
to PAY THE MEN ...

Because we now non-serving typeswill pay them good money to work in
civvy jobs, at premium pay, and we will steal every single one of them
that is of any use, and you can go figure why...

The number crunchers at the top of the system have not yet caught on
to "real life"...ie can you make a go of it given what you offer,...

John, The only "weekend" training we ever seem to get is when we go
to Ft Lewis for an MTSC eval. Taking a weekend day for new training
would be great but it doesn‘t seem to happen.

Some reasons for this may be
a.. there isn‘t enough money to pay the man days for weekend
training
b.. It would be a new way of thinking about training that we
haven‘t adopted yet
c.. the will may not be in place to try this, there is often a
strong contention that "this is the way we have always done things"
I am not about the criticize, especially not on these means, the
question was posed to elicited thought and ideas not make inferences.

Hi Ya‘ll, I am going to throw out a question that is principally of
interest to the reservists out there, however all input is appreciated.

Does any one parade for one full Saturday or Sunday every 2 week as
opposed to a half day every Tuesday or Thursday evening?

We presently do the later, but I think the merits of the bi-monthly
full day seems obvious
a.. More time to plan and perform training.
b.. Less conflict with peoples lives twice a month as opposed to 4
times per month
c.. Greater likelihood of getting troops out for 2 big days rather
than 4 small evenings.
A significant problem is that most of the senior personnel i.e. Sgt
and above spend a good part of the evenings in meetings. As for the
rest, by the time you get set up to do a class or training session, it‘s
time to take it down and send everyone home.

It seems that you could put on some significant training with a full
day to do it as opposed to a few hours.

What do you think...

Here in BC, 744 Comm parades primarily on weekends. I believe all the army
units parade week nights.
My unit briefly tried moving from Thursday evenings to full Saturdays a few
years back. There were essentially 3 problems:
1/ Older soldiers, and even many of the newer ones, had planned their lives
around Thursday parades and less frequent weekend activities. The change
disrupted schedules. Active people skiers, hikers, boaters, etc found it
easier to give up an evening than a full day.
2/ People on shifts missed a greater percentage of training time missing a full
day took more out than missing a half day.
3/ It was discovered that one advantage of a weekly evening parade is to simply
maintain contact with the soldiers. There was a tendency with less frequent
parading intervals for some to lose focus and drift into non-effective status.
I agree with the training advantages of the full day. The real problem is the
adjustment from one culture weekly half-day to another less frequent full
Saturdays. Nevertheless, we still manage to schedule 2-3 full periods of
instruction on Thursday evenings occasionally one period will be set aside for
CO‘s parade, admin, etc.
Funding may not be an issue. My estimate of the funding units are receiving
right now is that there is enough to cover weekly evening parades, one Saturday,
and one full weekend per month from September through May. I believe my unit
would have difficulty motivating people to give up more than one full weekend
plus one full Saturday each month. This is simply a realization of the fact
that most of our soldiers have jobs or full-time school, plus other interests in
life.

There was a school of thought circulating a few years back that did say it
was more cost-effective to train on weekends as opposed to week nights for
many of the reasons outlined earlier.
I happen to agree - limiting admin to wed nights allows the lunts to spend
more quality time "on the floor" during saturday training. Historically, we
have paraded on Wed nights only when we were gearing up for the MTSC cycle
or we were doing Ex prep ore post-ex maint.
there is certain admin required on an ongoing basis - that is why RHQ‘s and
not Btys, Coys, Sqns should be responsible for coord of things like MLOC
training, range shoots and so on. It‘s more work for the HQ staff, but it
allows for greater focus at the sub-unit level.

Here in Winnipeg most units parade one evening tuesday night and every other
weekend saturday and sunday. This seems to work. With most tuesday nights
being admin or pre/post - ex prep.

Here in Nova Scotia the infantry units to the best of my knowledge, train
once a night weekly and then as many weekends as possible, which doesn‘t add
up to too many. I‘m not sure about other trades.

We trained 2 nights per week, and an average of one weekend per month.
Granted there were months we had no weekends, and others we had 2 or 3, but
it worked out to around 1 a month. Monday nights were Admin, and only
required Snr NCOs and Officers, and others trained, unless there was a
course running, which happened on occasion. It seemed to work OK. We used to
run a dvrs course, in the lull between summer ex and fall start up. We also
used to squeeze a lot of GMT, and QL1 courses in at Christmas break, March
break, or over a series of Monday and Thursday nights. The more centralized
training systems changed all of that. And I know that GMT and QL are old
designations.
