This is why we started Project Red Serge out of British Columbia and the Yukon.
We're streamlining the process. We're going to get this down to six months, 180 days, which is acceptable for our standards, and then look at the model we have, because the centralized model right now is a single point of failure. It's a choke point right at the central point. If that had to break, the whole process would break, so we're looking at getting the commanding officers more involved in the whole recruiting process.
