    OUTCAN CMTT

    Thanks everyone. CMTT got back to me. BLUF is they contract it and will ship it to my address as the embassy doesn't have a terminal. I'm trying to confirm they use a customs broker to deal with the customs issues.

    OUTCAN CMTT

    Can't it ship to a support unit even without a CMTT terminal?

    OUTCAN CMTT

    Anyone have any experience shipping UAB via CMTT to the USA? I'm headed unaccompanied and don't need a move of HG+E, but don't plan on bringing my vehicle. So, my option is basically that.

    OJE before BMOQ

    Try to get a POC at the unit conducting the OJT and let your Sgt (or Adjt if you're an officer) know that you don't have the proper insignia/badges. They'll sort you out.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Sorry guys...my mental disability of assuming the primacy of evidence-based and reasoned policy is causing unnecessary army.ca traffic.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    I'm puzzled by the Olympic Shooter "loophole." What is it? I haven't seen hordes of "Olympic shooters" buying anything really.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Sorry, but any source on the Ruger 10/22 rumour? I know the LPC has really gone on a tear, but confiscating all of them would be a ridiculously huge lift.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Hmm. Does Polysouvient have statistics to back up that assertion? I recall "evidence-based policy making" used to be a thing...

    Cox: Canadians need to get smarter about intelligence-gathering

    Intelligence only works if you have a strategy. Then, you can set priorities, calculate gain/loss against risk, and decide what way you want to pursue collection. I suspect Canada's issue is not intelligence education, it's primarily deciding on a national strategy in line with national interests.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I'm feeling a tad bit validated after being viciously attacked by my peers in 2006ish for expressing regret Canada did not choose to contribute to BMD. My argument at the time that even if it wasn't 100pc, the data exchange benefits alone would help other areas. Well, this certainly proves the...

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    Hasn't this been quietly happening with the new "Tactical Groupings" mentioned above wrt the Brockville Rifles and PWOR? Also agree that this is like moving one set of deck chairs to another level of the Titanic.

    RCAF IntO Posting

    Congrats! You're heading into the fighter force at an interesting time, and I suggest you focus your PD on 5th Gen data networks as well as the usual opfor fighter stuff. Other than that, just "do." At about the 3 year mark, either push to Winnipeg (to mingle with the Air Ops folks) or start to...
