When I first became an MP, there were concerns about private companies raiding the military for highly skilled technicians. Sometimes we can be too successful in training and educating mechanics, avionics technicians, and those types of workers. Companies come along and say, “Wow! I have a 20-year guy here in the military. I just offered him something. He's going to get his pension, and we offer him a nice little job over here, and we don't have to do much training—he just slips over.”
I don't want to sound negative, because obviously when military people retire they can do whatever they wish, but is there not also the possibility that sometimes the government is spending all sorts of money investing in a military person and it's a private company that ends up benefiting from all of it? Once that 20-year person leaves, for example, Shearwater, we have to get somebody else in there, and it takes an awful lot of money and resources to build that back up.
Sometimes we can be too successful in this regard. How would we avoid those pitfalls?
