    King Charles III Coronation Medal

    Even then it is only major punishments that cause any forfeiture of time towards a CD. A AWOL charge or 129 with a fine or other minor punishment do nothing to reset one's time towards their CD...

    Logistics officer common course Questions

    1. They generally run Spring & Fall courses, rarely over the summer although I have seen it (once). Most Log Os do their phase trg post education. It isn't optimal for ROTP or PRes folks but summer crses are problematic because CFLTC relies on the vast majority of its instructors to come as...

    King Charles III Coronation Medal

    Couldn't learn how to engage in civil discourse in your time away from Army.ca eh? BTW if you get charged your time for your CD is not completely reset. Take a read and learn something new on the link I think it is an idea worth merit, we have good evidence that most people serve on average...

    Living in shacks as a 30+ y/o

    I can agree with that reasoning. The cure is worse than disease.

    Living in shacks as a 30+ y/o

    Rightfully so. So I assume we agree criminally assaulting people to conform is a bad idea regardless of organization or reason and doesn't work?

    Living in shacks as a 30+ y/o

    Sure, but I can assume that we can both agree that arbitrarly beatings of people because we don't like their actions doesn't lead to good force discipline either?

    Living in shacks as a 30+ y/o

    Your day was full of shitty people that would think that is a good idea to remedy issues. Thankfully such folks that think like that are a past part of the CAF experience. Those that harken back to those days probably don't belong in today's military.

    Opportunity to update the CC-150 fleet?

    I didn't think Dundurn was near Trenton.....😁 In any case Trenton is supposed to get new/expanded ammo holding facilities.

    Reconstitution

    That is exactly how it is written in the article. Of those, 43 sailors have finished the one-year program, he said. Half of them have chosen navy trades, 30 per cent have decided to go elsewhere in the Canadian Armed Forces, and the remaining 20 per cent left the military. My comment is on the...

    Reconstitution

    I don't read it the way you do. 34/43 that have completed the programme and stayed. The remaining ones are still in the year of experience and aren't at the stage to determine if they stay or not. So the vast majority have chosen to stay. I have no doubt that the numbers will regress but a...

    Where can I get more DND Field Messaging Pads?

    They can be requisitioned by your supporting supply organization. IIRC you are in training so usually would be asking your directing staff (section commander/ 2IC). At a unit your supply folks, company/Sqn Quartermaster usually holds a small stock of them.

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    TBF our field MP platoons have them too. Institutionally the MPs don't want to do field things so it is moot :)

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    In the good news/use case front for the TAPV, 1 Svc Bn is using them for the first time in the field right now as part of their convoys/DPs on exercise. Gives them some dedicated protection that can mount firepower that also isn't primarily used for something else. Looking forward to hearing...

    E Cafra

    CAFRA had been in use for some time, just limited to Release Administrators. It is just an administrative tool and doesn't replace the underlying policy which means a CT is release from a particular component. You can always confirm that by asking the Adminstrative Response Center Contact...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    Maybe the RCN LCMMs have some functionality like that, I highly doubt it, but even if they are manually tracking it means they are paying attention in any case. If you ever want to test it drop me a PM

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    Some places have them, most don't or rather they just make HPR duties an inherent part of 2nd line without explicitly tasking pers (or they just ignore it). The CA is most affected by HPR policy as the vast majority of their orders are automated via work order release and they all almost go...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    Fair enough. The HPR thing I find is more a problem for the RCAF and CA as their HPR cells are nascent and way they work are very different from the RCN. As for min/max if they authorize returns but still have min/max set, then they really don't understand the system. I get what you are...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    I agree that in some shops there is a lack of understanding of their roles, but even in good ones they are just as bogged down as we are dealing with an inefficient system. Much of the issue is we have made the system in some ways more complex and despite better automation tools, we insist on...

    VOT OJE Question

    Not surprising at all, messages are cut by someone without context. They expect that if there are issues that a local COC will raise them. Given some context, they can then make a decision. That is why I said instead of going grievance route, maybe just talk to them first. Glad it worked out.

    VOT OJE Question

    If by you reached out to them you mean the BTL just remember the BTL just manages you administratively, they have no special insight on how your trade will manage any particular person, beyond what they are told. Your trade training authority manages you. I know you're saying that your trade...
