That's funny because Basic Training use to teach that stuff on numbers in sections etc. They would teach the very basic level of a section attack. One would have a bit of idea when they moved onto their trades training ie Infantry, Armored etc. Some of the best Soldiers I ever worked with were...

There was suppose to be a large peace deal made in the ME a couple of years ago. That would have opened a lot of prosperity across the entire area. It only makes sense that the people who live in the area want to work with each other and start to put their differences aside to make money...

These issues are not a Failed Reserve Force., it is a failed leadership at multiple levels. If a unit Regular Force or Reserve is being run poorly that is on the COC, I have seen what a well tuned unit looks like along with what a badly run Unit is. Both Reg and Reserve. They both share a very...

People talk about China weaponizing industry and such, so we should not be allowing them to invest in Canadian infrastructure such as pipelines, refinery's etc. Little bit of research would show they are already invested in those projects (directly and indirectly). Here we have what we thought...

Japan might buy some oil from us. Although it is not the best route Europe might ship that way.

Why not? They have invested billions into our economy already. But we sell resources, we need customers for those resources. The US has proven to be less then desirable as a customer for many years. Soft wood lumber, oil. NG iron ore and the list goes on. Many of those oil protests have been...

I would rather try and find 50% of the staff verses 100% of the staff in time of Urgency. Its risk management. One that currently we take a lot of risk with very little management........ You never loose if you have a trained person either deployed or working at home fixing gear, training others...

Putin stated he wants his Former states back. That includes a large portion of Europe today.

The last year or 10 have been concerning, this past year more so. If a person starts to lineup timelines of gun confiscation, civil order control, moving of large corporations HQ and manufacturing south of the border and now the recent threat of annexing Canada, Greenland It makes one wonder if...

A few friends/coworkers of of mine are going through this issue right now. They are going on training and authorized leave without pay from their employers. But not authorized for schedule change. They make significantly more then the Military pays, they are having to make some pretty big...

From what I understand Bombardier already has a refueling receptical prototype for their aircraft. Not sure if it is feasible with the antenna on top of the fuselage., time will tell.

Commercial or residential? I know AI data centers consume large amounts of cooling and consume large amounts of electricity. I wonder if the population increase has been accounted in those exact numbers. Many newer HVAC systems are very efficient. Not a chance Especially when someone else pays...

LCOL = Low Cost of Living Canadian abbreviation for Lieutenant-Colonel is LCol or Lt.-Col depending on who is writing it. Unless there is an update to the abbreviations listing. So promote the ones who have the experience quickly. As in tomorrow, if the person in charge does not know...

Did you read my actual post or did you see the name and write? I did not say that did I? Currently yes. But usage may go down or it might increase. As we have seen here in Canada Electric Bus fleets have not fared that well. Break that down even further and it should make one ask how can we...

Why is it that only LCol and above have operational experience in those roles? The reason for it simply put is if the people doing the job (except a handful) does not know the capability, then how do you expect all the others in the Combined armed battle to understand. Was there not discussion...
