Saddam,someone is running their own agenda.
What the CinC Bulletin of Jan 07 actually said was:
"development of a culture wherein (sic) every individual recognises the need to undertake 3 periods of physical activity per week."
No time, no compulsion.
"there is no one-size fits all solution"
No fixed plan then.
"CAS will
simply expect station commanders to ensure that their people are fit."
"Stn cdrs in turn . .. " Ah! now we get to it.
"flt cdrs achieve their goal"
"Physical Training Leaders - non-specialists, trained and authorised by PEd staffs to lead basic fitness sessions"
So, from individual recognition we move smoothly to a PTL enabler.
New, higher standards (for most age/gender categories), relevant to a modern fighting service, ready to endure the rigors of operational detachments and linked directly to levels of health risk become effective on 1 Jul 07.
The tests are still being developed as the operational fitness test "proved unworkable."
Clearly one of the sessions should take place at 5 on a Friday
to endure the rigors of operational detachments and linked directly to levels of health risk
Where will the additional PTI resources come from and is there enough Gym space?
See my remarks about PTLs, who said anythng about more PTIs and Gym space. Who wants to be a PTL?
