For us it is very common for the simple reason there is just no job to promote him to.

It's also common for a transfer to a different preferred job which is rated a rank below, and dropping rank for a period of time.


And I remember when there was no money to pay the reserves - troopies went long times w/o pay.


Much better nowadays after a supportive govt.

Yes! I didn't want to go into that deep of detail but that is very true. I even knew guys that would drop a level just to get to a certain base.

My regular time was spent in the mid 70s to early eighties and the government did not even want to acknowledge we existed much less pay anybody!

It was much better in the 90s when I went reserves but still not great.

Only the last few years that there has been much support at all but that will dwindle again as the economy drops.

I really have no knowledge of such things, but I am pretty sure that in Norway that guy would be a civilian, in a suitable desk job.

Wear appropriate clothing. - Always wear clothing appropriate for the weather. Synthetic and wool fabrics provide better insulation. Some synthetic fabrics are designed to keep perspiration away from your body which keep you dry and further reduce your risk. - Dress in layers with a wind resistant outer layer.
