A lot of the ARC guys are barely hanging on as it is now. If you start utilizing us more, you'll only drive more guys out. Before you start using the ARC more, they need to start cutting BS deployments. You have Guard fighter squadrons "deploying" to do NOTHING. Dudes are tired of being away from their families to NOT do what they've been trained to do. It's made worse by the fact that most of us take a giant pay cut to go on orders/deploy. I've seen a decent amount of dudes bail for heavies, UAVs, non-flying gigs, or just get out.
