If you are trying to make HAMS out of S&R people. it isn't going to happen.  As you said, they only want to operate when it benefits them.  If you don't operate, you can't learn how to operate or operate your equipment properly.  It is hard to deploy someone when they can't do anything!  Its even harder to try to teach someone something new - like CW or digital modes, when all they want to do is talk on the radio.
