From a grass roots level as a lowly tom, rising to full screw, I saw various changes of command & leadership at my unit. When I first joined we were a male only unit & had a strong turnout & good retention, but then the doors were opened for female roles & things seemed to change for the worse & standards fell & as well as retention. Quite a few careers ended over affairs & fallouts usually involving a female, not all though I hasten to add. Also the end of the cold war, SDR the restructuring of the Battalion ( we were reduced in size, lost a Coy & mortars & milan) I think had an effect.
At recce Pltn level, we got a new Pltn Comd every 2 years, usually fresh off their Recce Comd coarse with his own ideas of how things should be. Some favoured foot recce over vehicles, overs Comd's the other. Some snco's didn't gel with the new boss & sadly moved on/ left. So the recce Pltn went through many changes not all of them good, the same could be said for PSI's & CO's, training Majors, OC's, etc, etc.
