Logically you are absolutely right. We are very good planners. Announcement are the last thing that happened in those thing. It’s also great that they manage to keep it low profile.
I think we are mostly sarcastic in our comments, for my part some time disillusioned but never doubtful of...
Under the French Regime, the Captain were elected by the male of the Seigneurie. He had admin function other than the milicia and was answering to the Seigneur. Basically a big village was a Seigneurie.
So you none of the coy were equal strength.
In y units, we were 3 or 4 WO and sgt who did have a degree. It as clear the the commission give authority, not the degree. It is however a « sub culture » that the degree make the officers. This is in part du to RMC which mix the 2.
Do I think Officer should be degreed, yes. I don’t see...
All that is true, very true. The issue is more with the one who are still serving and still lead among themselves instead of for everyone. 50% of GO/FO, how many non RMC have Réal and influential command positions. Doctors, layers and Padre don’t have those influential position.
If your are...
I have zero issues with the decreed Officer Corps. I like the UK army model. I just don’t like our. RMC was created because their was not enough (or none) engineer shock in Canada. I think we’re good on that now.
So you take a bunch of teenagers, put them in a jar barely supervised, coach, mentored and you let them becoming leaders among them. You throw at them the CAF ethics without nearly enough good leader to guide them and you let them becoming GO/FO. It’s called IMHO a incestuous institutional...
It was down to too many wishful wishes of brand, with or white out knuckles protections, brand, style etc. The test was for a basic pair of glove to replace the leather CADPAT one.
My point was more on the fact that infantry Corps can’t agree on anything quickly. There’s always one of the 3...
One of the big challenges on kitting the infantry is the 3 mafias. A basic exemple is the test that have been made for a pair of gloves. 2 testers from each regiments, 6 pairs of gloves, the choices went by cap badge.
We can’t agree for a pair of gloves, tac vest, light, mech, with or with...
Yep, I agree. I first learned my English in the streets. I had the chance to have a bilingual friend. Imagine a 12 years old trying to say M-60 (the tank) while pronging M-16 and realising his mistake, finishing the good prononciation while is friend was laughing 🙋🏼♂️😂
That part of the...
Most of the Franco will welcome the basic sentences. Yes we will turn to English because it’s easier and unders It’s harder for you guys. The efforts worth everything, mostly for the subordinates.
My English training was done in Saint-Jean, never past above B in conversational on the PS...
That story won’t be popular but it reflect the other side of the reality.
I met a MWO from Edmonton a couples of years ago. He was bitching about the promotion being liked to language, never had the chance to talk in French even if a quarter of if troop were Franco. « They knew how to speech...
I’ve said it somewhere else on the forum, the federal abandoned it responsibilities and had become a big provincial government. The two level is competing on who’s will be the real care giver to the population.
Not that the federal doesn’t have a role to play, it sure does but as you said...
