BNR is a specific request by the gaining command for a particular person, but I see your point.
I would say though that scenario is not the case across the CNAFR pillar and more prevalent in the traditional reserve world. CNAFR made a conscious effort to allow COs to give names when their commodores/CAG were tasked with providing a member for a MOB.
Yes. BNR can in theory occur if an AC command asks for a specific body, but in reality that would be coordinated in advance with said body.
Absent the RMP, CNRFC is doing it's job when it picks folks out the blue. RMP was nice but there was overhead associated with generating it and then prepping the named members. Essentially now we're all on the RMP, unless you mobed within five year s or have a medical issue.
