I'm curious to see what their 6x6 and 8x8 will look like. They do seem to be pushing the limits of the civilian conversion APC. Their MRAP looks pretty slick and seems effective. That said, the Canadian MIC has a long history of this with armoured cars which were quite effective going back to...

If only they could be used as such. But nah, they identify as light tanks instead. 😂

Fine, but if the means isn't modern, then noone is turning on channel 6 except the 40+ year olds who grew up with it. Sure, you'll lose conciseness in the messaging, but at least someone will be listening to it. Its not like th CAF does any other effective internal messaging anyways, this is the...

It's a podcast, not an interview. It's meant to make them more relatable to common audiences who listen to these type of long form conversations (well, not too long form). It's a common cre-comm tactic now as people pay more attention to an organic conversation, than they would to a corporate...

And 38 CBG lol

https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/26337100/700-king-edward-st-winnipeg These types of building are infinitely more common and could probably house an entire CBG worth of personnel nevermind the local garrison Included are purpose built loading docks for QMs, offices for ORs and shops and...

I struggle with the premise there is an empty, serviceable school in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, etc. A quick google found me articles about problems with overcrowded schools in Calgary, Edmonton and Halifax, without even scrolling. If they are empty, there is probably a reason...

Considering there is a national class size crisis going on especially in the more populated provinces, I think this suggestion is a little silly.

Kind of a non-starter. You know the Feds are building anything that big for the reserves anytime soon. Coulda woulda shoulda 15 years ago. All I know is that the reserve armouries can work as parade squares and vehicle hangars can be used as large classrooms with most other classrooms being...

10 messes is fucking insane. All the Winnipeg armouries have 2-3, one JRs in each building, one Snr ranks mess at Minto and one of each SNCOs and Officers mess at Strachan. 5 between the two. Is it still like that at Moss Park?

In our armoury the messes are often used as classes. Lots of PD, lectures, seminars, etc.

You guys might find this interesting. Private Members Bill to create a DOMOPS medal. It would be worth emailing the member who tabled the Bill and your own MP if you think this should exist. Despite being called the SSM in the title, the Bill mentions the creation of a new medal and ribbon...

4000 for the CAF out of the 30000 being struck. So fucking stupid. Just don't bother if we can't give them to everyone. A whole bunch of Liberal donors and allies will get medals for doing nothing.

Opportunity for reconciliation haha.

Damn, unit messes? I agree with the premise of rank segregated messes but that's just silly.
