Leaked Canadian military report shows many new recruits are quickly leaving
-
The Canadian military insists it’s getting a handle on its recruiting crisis, but a new leaked internal report obtained by CBC News suggests many of those who come through the door quickly leave in frustration over the inability to get trained and into the job they want.
In addition, the effort to retain experienced soldiers, sailors and aircrew was dealt an important blow recently when a Department of National Defence office — set up to find ways to keep people — was defunded.
The struggle to recruit new members to both the regular and the reserve force has been a major preoccupation as the Forces face a shortage of up to 14,000 qualified personnel.
But the flip side of the equation — that has gotten less attention — is the effort to hold on to people, especially in critical technical trades.

Considering the state of the world, I wouldn’t be against mandatory military service. Maybe people still won’t stay, but they might have higher retention than now. Plus, we’d have citizens that have been trained and ready to defend the country if needed.

what does “If needed” mean?
If its mobilizing to fight in Europe, thats one thing. * Assuming Russian agents or comprimised American/Canadian Sympathiser dont blow up our own armories.*
If its mobilizing to defend our own country from a physical invasion. Theres only one country on earth that has the means to take Canada, and it isnt a country that has to cross an ocean to do so. Repeat what I said about armories getting blown up by American sympathisers.
given our proximity and exposure to the politically turmoiled USA, and all the problems thats brought with people on edge in our own country, I dont think the Swiss solution of making every young man in the country become a reservist, and making every reservist take home an assault rifle incase of invasion, is going to work. We’ll have our own Sandy Hook the next day.

You know there’s more to the army than infantry.

A soldier with a gun is the most fundemental element of a military or resistance.
if you dont have that in order, you’re in serious trouble
