Direct recruiting of civilians for CANSOFCOM?this should certainly help recruiting (internal, and perhaps external in future) and especially retention--a real issue given what private security firms will pay SOF types:

The phrase is "market value", of which trained, experienced Special Forces types have an enormous amount.
From what I've read here, at Strategy Page and elsewhere, there's lots of six-figure-paying jobs out there for SF types. An extra $8-18k a year may be an inadequate bonus structure, considering the income potential elsewhere. Soldiers with a relatively low number of years in service and soldiers at the other end of the spectrum, able to retire now with a pension, wouldn't -I'm admittedly guessing here- stay in for an extra $8-18k when they can double or triple their salary in the private market.
Commments, anybody?
