It's shit like this that gives reservists a bad name.
Any more than gives reg force members a bad name?

Yes. One is a training issue the other is a ethical/moral one, I would say we have more reservist officers with inadequate or improper training than reg force officers with criminally low ethics.

Sorry, the general public and likely the majority of the military folk will remember the rare ones with the ethical/moral issues over the more common inadequate training issues.
Insert Slt Delisle next.

None of them felt that Watts was responsible, however, saying he was a conscientious leader.
They were there. I think I'll take their word.
I have run into several reservist officers who are more than happy to let the 2 I/C run the show while they sit on their hands praying everything turns out alright.

So do you think like they do and that the officer isnt responsible for safety on the range?
The general public cant tell the difference between the reg force and the cadets, let alone a reservist.

I have run into reg force members willing to do the same.
Suggests you and I have experience with shitpumps.

I think, after reading the news report, that that is a rather simplistic question that seems to ignore some reported facts. Such as the report that the RSO stated he was not qualified to run the range but was told to do it anyway.
Again this isnt the failing of just the OIC, which is why more than him are up on charges.
Training should have been stopped at the higher level, or at the very least these guys should have cracked open a fucking pub.
Im not putting sole blame on the Range OIC, the article says that the RSO was an expert on the claymore so the RSO is the one who should have made sure things were good to go. However the article also says

We moved from the points we disagree with to the points that we agree with.
I go back to my original post. This guy is no more representative of the thousands of the reserves than Williams or Delisle is of the reg force.
I will refine my opinion and say all the Res Officers I have worked with have had poor training.
