Dear All,
It is accepted that there is a large wastage rate during recruit training. Across the board attempts are being made to reduce this. However:
It would seem logical that a TA recruit is allocated an LSN at Attestation (they get paid from this point), or as soon as they receive their Army Number thereafter.
If recruits occupy a Unit LSN for a trained soldier, given the wastage rates during training it follows that a TA Unit can NEVER achieve full manning with trained soldiers.
Is there a central pool of recruit LSN's at RTC's or individual pools for units, to allow "overbearing of recruits" IOT enable full manning to be achieved?
Yours ever,
GH
