In full agreement with Stacker RE promotion. More generally on AT though it is the apathy toward partaking that kills off a good exped - "Sod it, what a waste of drinking time/Beer money" or "What's the point of applying, I'm not a mountaineer/sailor/parachutist ect, I'll never get a place". If two weeks of adventure training helps the cohesion of a station & lifts morale then why not?
All expeds SHOULD be better advertised, not just put on orders between lists of innoculations and the duties list. By bringing new blood into AT & encouraging/informing people of places for novices some persuits would lose their elitest label.
Quiet often the reason AT isn't taken up is because there is no-one with the ability to organise the trip - if there IS someone in the unit with the skills/qualifications then they should be encouraged to come up with the goods but it might help if you offer to do some donkeywork for them!
Get involved, see the benefits for yourself & take a little pride in those around you, on your station, in your squadron, who can do great things!
