i think this may turn out to be better, esp for saf's image. improperly attired recruits doing things like smoking and standing on one leg and behaving rowdily really does not do well to the perception of discipline of the organisation.Originally posted by Ponders:After the 9 Div/INF merging, 9 Div is considering that recruits are allowed to book out in CV.
This is to be in line with 9 Div's policy.
Anyway, its still in the works, and the earliest change to be seen should be around dec or Jan.
I don't think booking out in civilian has anything to do with loosening control over regimentation. All the guys in the units book out in civilian...Originally posted by Doenitz:Wow,SAF getting more and more slack.
What's next? Letting combat troops stay out?
I'd agree...BMT is the place for the instructors to come down hard and ensure the correct mentality is drilled in them to let them be squared away immediately....Originally posted by Icemoon:There should be a natural progression of 'privileges'. A recruit should be different from a private.
