If a NET volunteer just wants to be a NET (take Basic NET training and operate in the program as they do now) they can. In the VSF scheme of things, they’ll be a search and rescue volunteer (VSF 09.01). They won’t be pressured to take on a VSF, or even to know what they are. In an ops plan, they’ll be considered a Search and Rescue resource. They’ll still have all the privileges and opportunities they have now. They’ll also be able to take advanced courses reserved for volunteers in VSFs, as long as seats are given to VSF assigned volunteers first.
