Ack all, but apparently things are not the same in all Brigades apparently (Shocker I know). I can only speak to my former Brigade 36 CBG, but the policies you talk about were/are different here: Pay is allocated based on the effective strength at a unit which was calculated by taking that...

I'm not saying I agree with that. I'm saying the CoC wants a large number of troops on paper. Whether they are TES seems to be a non-requirement due to numbers dropping. Yes there is a training funnell currently, but there is also lack of will at senior levels. For example we (Former 5XX)...

That is the crux. According to the Army G1 shop we have 22,570 reservists of which only 10,325 are trained effective strength. That's only 45%. The problem I see is no one wants to enforce a trg standard because the numbers will drop. A high non-trained number total is better then a low...

IMO, you are borderline on suitability as you currently are (given the limited information). Combat Arms are typically a young man's game and Basic can be tough for some. But. You can likely do this if you put the effort in. Others here may have some additional/better suggestions, but I would...

How much filament did that take? And is the file available for free?

The locations of elms (at least as of last week) are: Battle School HQ - D201 4th Floor. Along with 2 Div pers, Sustainment Div pers, HS, PA, Int, lay back org (for the next year), and apparently a small slice of Navy pers. A Coy (36 CBG) - 2x Class B Pl: Sydney and Halifax, 2x Class A Pl...

That was the ceremonial stand down. Actual TOCA isn't until the 9th Sept. Most of the senior staff are/have moved on this month. There will be a "rear party" team that is keeping the lights on with all HQ pers either being posted, finding new jobs, or laid off/contract not renewed between now...

I wonder if the "Pass the Globe and Mail test" had anything to do with it?

Any satan worshippers out there? Hamtramck City Council passes religious animal slaughter ordinance https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2023/01/11/hamtramck-city-council-approves-religious-animal-sacrifices-slaughter-home/69797191007/

Definitely way better than many reservists get for BMQ. A cot off in the corner of the drill hall. If your lucky it might even have a shower.

So <10 in Nanuvut? How do they not know the actual number? Isn't this a computer based system? Or at least shouldn't they know exactly what the number currently is? I wonder if the real number is 0?

I read an article a while ago (I don't remember the name), but it talked about these things and also made the point that while home prices relative to income have increased, society too has changed. How many people are regularly buying $10 starbucks every day? (I admit, I get TIms every day...

Interesting point. So of the 25 turned in, he was 2-3 of those. So not even 25 different people participated. I wonder how many people vice firearms participated?

So have the Messes and Unit short hallways GTG? :cool:

I'll be there with you, but from Middle Sackville.
