They don't have to! They're just enjoying what they do.

I agree,I know of one very very experienced P/C who has marshalled for over 40 YEARS and has never been a member of BMMC!!!
Yet his name is known and he is well respected and local Chief P/C's have no qualms about where he is posted on the bank.
There is definately some reticence to upgrade by marshals,however they need to look upon it as merely visual observations by the X P/C during the day and some gentle questioning as to their knowledge at the end of the day,NOT AN EXAM!!
Please remember we are ALL volunteers at the end of the day and it should never become a JOB!!
