from doing so because I am due to retire
Some comments about renewal:
I would only continue on the basis of training and pay improving which i will remain optimistic about.
I do think that it’s great to recruit from such a wide age range (18-55) and diverse backgrounds. There is a good balance of those with military and non-military backgrounds too. I’d like to see more in the way of encouraging younger recruits to serve (e.g. transitioning from cadets and University Air Sqn’s/Officer Training Corps, etc).
The lack of financial recognition for long service when compared to ex-regulars receiving a £10000 golden hand shake. The lack or recognised long service towards a pension and the increase in bureaucratic and administrative actions have made the reserve forces less appealing.
I belong to a very established Sqn and our manpower has only gone up by 1 in a year. The RAF has to look at better retention methods which are outside the Sqn’s control. Manning have to visit the Sqn’s to appreciate the full view of the reservist.
Please do something for paramedic rank progression and leadership. You may have difficulty in paramedic retention if not careful. I feel the regular RAF paramedics have the same problem. Opportunity to attach to specialist groups would be interesting. (SF, JCTTAT??).
I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend anyone joining the reserves, such a great experience.
