Sadly, my first encounter was the opposite. On pitching a proposal to run an exercise with blank ammunition in the Wg for the first time, he said no and quoted rules that did not exist. I was not impressed

what was his reaction when you questioned those rules?
Shame, as he was present on a Region exercise and was all for it.
Didn’t he visit Pagan and let it be renamed “Warrior” after a previous rebrand to “Wanderer”?

It went ahead eventually but I didn’t appreciate the on-the-spot making-up of BS. “I’ll go and have a think” would’ve been my preferred response. Making stuff up is poor and one of our organisation’s biggest weaknesses.

I think it was more than ‘let’ … more like ‘wtf is this wanderer BS?’ … but people closer to it may be able to correct me on that.

Was deemed too “war-y” so changed for the second one to Wonderer…

No, that’s the story I heard. I think you’re right.
Nah mate, made up rules are the best. They’re better than actual rules as you can just make them fit the situation as you go. It’s brilliant.
The next best thing is actually making the made up rules the actual rules, like SW does now.

Lets hope that the new incumbent remembers the definition of the word ‘volunteer’…jumping through hundreds of admin hoops is killing the ability to deliver 'the cadet experience".
Sorry Sqn, the OC cant play tonight as he’s up to his neck in Fire Systems management, and the Adj is busy preparing RA paperwork and Admin Orders for activities that my not get approved because of some BS that we are currently unaware of. Sgt, drill it is then…

Current wg cdr, passed promotion board in Oct.
This is their first tour as a group captin.
I have seen some rather 
worthy comms over how good they are etc…
Qustion - if someone is seriously as experienced and as good as they have been made out to be… why come to the rafac… not exactly known as a career making move.
I wish them luck.
