Staff not being current before turning up to a centrally organised shoot is just bad admin. Get weapons in to sectors and get staff to units to qualify before the shoot.
Cadets sitting around doing nothing is just bad planning. You should have a decent concurrent activity running, why not use the medic to be teaching some first aid or doing some leadership activities?
In all honesty if you go somewhere to do something do you want someone saying âwhile youâre waiting we are going to do something completely different for no other reason than we donât want you sitting aroundâ. Which is all concurrent activities are. Donât know about you but Iâd ignore them or say no (or something like that).
I remember telling a member of Wing Staff I wasnât 5 and didnât need someone giving me something to do all the time and promptly went back to my crossword.
Then you give them the option to join in or not, if theyâre bored they will have a go at a fun activity.
Make it more shooting related, teach them a skill they might not have yet, get a harmonising target out and get them calling out GRIT commands, get some paintball gear and run a paintball range on some suitable land.
A lot of the time theyâre not given the option.
Personally I never get that bored when Iâm doing something, that I want or need to do something else.
