I hope so, whenever I heard those comments as a reserve CO thrown at the AD folks, I would quiz the AD CO later "where do you think our future aviators come from?" From the kids that 'quitter' recruits back in Hometown, USA with his sea stories" Then point out to him the RC folks in the spaces whose efforts still made him shine to the Commodore. Cripes. If you stay AD, fantastic. I always try to recruit back into the RC side, unfortunately, the RC is getting burn't at the bearings as well. For some, almost like one never left AD.
