Team, good morning Wondering if any other NCOs have run into a situation where the JAG office tells the unit CoC not to proceed with summary trial against a soldier due to the fact that they have been diagnosed with a mental health (MH) issue.  These issues range from mild PTSD to anxiety...

Team I have heard, but never seen the written proof, that the CO of a unit can override a med chit issued from a CDU or Garrison Health Clinic.  Now, I am sure there are parameters and strict guidelines if such a thing exists, therefore it is probably never considered by a CO.  However, if a...

Yeah, well being there may not be the same as a news article, but I imagine it's just as good.

Wounded?  Not that I recall.

All good advice.  However, I refuse to respect an opposition that does no more than whine about petty matters when there are so many bigger things at stake in this great country of ours.  MPs who were only months ago working in bars or were students have no idea what is good for this country. ...

Quick question...am I allowed, as a serving member of the CF, to contact the NDP and tell them what brain dead losers they are?  Or do I have to sit here everyday listening to and watching their right out to lunch antics and accusations. Same goes for the Liberals, but they really don't matter...

I learned about a soldier yesterday from a Regiment I am very familiar with who recently got his OT.  I found it interesting because this soldier was apparently so broken for the last 5+  years that he could not even lift a broom to assist in clean up at the end of the day.  He had also been...

But according to the Liberals and the NDP there are no taliban, so whats the issue.  Alas, wouldn't it be nice to have a few show up at the door so you could shoot them from the comfort of your own home, while making breakfast or something. Look, there are plenty of dick-heads out there that...

Ugh, touques under helmets!  I hate touques under helmets!  Especially when the issue green balaclava is available.  But nooooo, lets all put touques under our helmets and raise the helmet so far up on our heads that it offers no protection at all!    I hate touques under helmets!

Or, dare I say it...the advent of FOBs and Fob Mentality...

What surprises me is the non-battle injury stats vs battle related wounds.  In 2007 they more than tripled from the previous year.  Honestly, the numbers in those two columns are very interesting.  Does this mean in theater only, or do the non-battle injuries also mean those that suffered some...

I was crew commanding my LAV as part of 9Pl on Aug 03 2006 as part of the assault on the White School.  (I will hasten to add that a certain 'brass' type paid little attention to the results of that one, hence what happened to Charles Coy on 03 Sept). Locating the enemy was the hardest thing. ...

The reason that so much ammo is being fired is NOT because our soldiers are bad shots (they get on a range once or twice a year).  The simple fact of the matter is that locating the enemy is not as easy as it is on the fields of Wainwright or any other training area.  IMO, locating the enemy is...

I was speaking of my trade, of which I am qualified to do.  With regards to your trade, I am sure you also have seen similar things. I really don't know why we tip toe around the issue.  While we do have members with self induced health problems, and they repeatedly get slammed on these...
