Save Our Army Regiments!

As a former paper pusher (and a reservist in my past life), here's my .02 cents worth (at par with the USD). If the community does not support these "regiments" which in truth are really companys (minus), why should the army? If these regiments had full establishments, they wouldn't be on the chopping block.

Keeping three armouries open to support what really is just one regiment in strength is not cost effective.

Kind of makes them a very visible target for the beancounters...

So, if you want to save your regiments, get your honouraries out to lobby the pols, and sign junior up when s/he turns 16.

Best of luck with your campaign.
