Well Blue, as an EDUCATED professional, and volunteer, I can understand where you are coming from.
It's interesting noting how certain members of the forum need to refer to such tactics as finger pointing and mis-quoting to try and dig themselves out of an argument...
The idea of vollies being paid is a tough one, should they be reimbursed for their time? Who knows...
Did we all join for the same reason? Of course not... (just refer to the why did we join thread...)
We are all here for a common purpose (or at least should be) and that is to protect the community.
If you are able to be a member of CFS and MFS, then why not? saying that you can't do both is like reinstating the wall between them and building a divide. It's like saying that someone can't play indoor cricket on a Friday night and Grade cricket on a Saturday. Games are generally on at a different time, your involved with two different groups of people who often know each other anyway, and one you might even get paid for.
Good on you I reckon.
If i don't get paid, doesn't matter. I'm happy to go and hang with my mates that I have made through the service.
Some people may want to get paid. Thats there prerogative.
Some kids at school want to learn, others need special rewardsto keep them their, some need incentives to get them there. Sound Familiar?
