Dear Seldom for for Purpose,
You forgot the bit by AIDU which said..
"I understand and agree that you cannot recruit experience.."
.. and which would have made my point a little clearer for you.
I'm sure that you do work with the 'Now', but you rather shot yourself in the foot when you said you missed people prior to typing that. Of course we work with what we've got.. we have no choice. The point being made is that what we've got isn't a patch on what it should/could be.
I imagine that people wouldn't miss me
, but as an NBC Instructor, a First Aid Instructor, a Jungle Warfare Instructor, a Arctic Warfare advisor, a Countersurveillance instructor, a Conduct after Capture Instructor, a weapons Instructor ad nauseum ad nauseum, I imagine Halton will be just chokka with the likes of me and my experience, all ready and able to fill my boots at the drop of a hat.
In his final para, Shawtarce hits the nail on the head.
