One suggestion that I put in my brief, which will eventually come out of translation, is that there remains more to be done in making sure that, when people qualify for a particular trade within the armed forces, the qualification is also the certification that's required to carry that out in a civilian setting. That's part of being a good employer, so that people know that, if the situation arises where a particular move just isn't possible, perhaps because of a spouse's occupation, their employer has protected them.
The old concept of retention, where you build a fence around people so they can't get out, is not really very logical.
Being a good employer would include some of these things. To be fair to the department, they've done that for many of the non-commissioned member trades in recent years, but there's a lot more to be done.
