Come on folks!
Everybody knows somebody that doesn't merit to deploy and is going and others, dedicated individuals left behind.
OK some people have to stay back to train, hold the fort, that sort of things. But, depending of your trade and the positions available on a task force, there might be 5 positions and 15 people willing to fill those. So, to me, it sometimes sounds like...who's lucky, or who's the boss's buddy.
Most people join the CF to (I hope) deploy and work in their trade on Ops. Not to stay back on camp, supporting an exercise or wiping off the garage floor.
It's a good, touchy topic...I say that some people are trying to deny that they are frustrated big time because they are not deploying.
Kudos to rear parties that are dedicated to the troops support though. Really important.
I'm expecting some flack on this one...I'll keep my head down.
