    Requesting a LOA from a non-supportive employer

    Max, Great news. But don't be satisfied with that alone.  Still follow through with CFLC rep and get them to sign into the support program.  You may find the need in the future to have more than 2 weeks off. And you don't need the hassle of trying to beg for an extension to your current 2...

    Canada eyeing reservists to bolster force in Afghanistan

    Yes Enfield, I too, would like to hear your "all knowing" response as to why I and a lot of others here shouldn't bother.. Unfortunately, Colin that just doesn't work for a variety of politics, policies, equipment issues.  Besides for Res units  a "Show'n Tell" response to training sells them...

    Reserves on Reg Force courses.

    I think the only true method for a Res today to land the coveted Driving/Quals would be land a position (EN force?) at one of the schools of excellence or the Canadian Maneuver Training Centre (CMTC).  It may be the long way round but rather than wait for a "hell freeze" time frame you get the...

    Cop killer called himself a 'chaotic patriot'

    Yes a tragic story.. I don't know why we would need further justification for a 2 man car?  We have plenty of our own examples as well and not just the tragic but countless daily encounters that just happened to work out awkwardly well. Having now worked two different departments systems,  I...

    New Task for the Armoured Reserve?

    S.Smith, A lot of this thread and others involve the internal politics which have been around since I joined in '92.  The only difference was the talk was centered around deployment to Bosnia.  What is being talked/ranted/argued here should not disuade your goals of joining the CF.  Remember...

    From: Should Canada adopt the LAV III as its sole armoured vehicle?

    Yes been there done that.  But inviting new ideas/solutions should always be open... And it is not like the armour thread has had the resounding activity of other trade threads here.  I don't count the bi weekly posts on vehicle wish lists. The days of intermixing with units and comparing notes...

    From: Should Canada adopt the LAV III as its sole armoured vehicle?

    RG, No no..I agree no flame war please.  And GW.. I'm not calling you out.. ;)  right out of it? right in it I'm afraid.. I fully understand the undertaking, I'm a true realist. I'm not here waving a banner saying we can have it that way.  But as organization, is anyone looking into the...

    From: Should Canada adopt the LAV III as its sole armoured vehicle?

    Sandyson- I feel your pain.. and there never will be with "legacy crew" comments like this.... How did we get here?........ I've become more concerned with skills lag with the re-role decision as I have seen it come full circle.  Factor into the equation, that the powers that be threw in a...

    flag raising and lowering

    Exactly.. but everyone beat me to it.. By the way, I'm sure your were reved up when you wrote it but your request is a hard read.  Please take the time to adjust, spell check etc.  I almost took it as a complaint as to why your police dept had their flag down when everyone else was up? (pretty...

    DRP supports CF

    Wanderer, Actually, I believe the design above is the one authorized only for police use on the cruisers. However, there will also be DRP support lapel pins that will be made and probably made available to public through the DRPA kitshop. But this is still in the works.  The plan is to also...

    Townhall Discussion 30OCT06

    I'm sure that there is a very capable means of identifying those who forget who they are addressing.. Like here, no one is completely anonymous. Well there hasn't been any forum update at this location other than title alone.  I'm not sure of its intent.  Maybe to confirm LFRR phase 2 states...

    What should Police do with Hezbolah Supporters

    Well despite the links and references to sections of law the entire issue is not that black and white..  The issue of enforcement gets more difficult with case law findings like this; http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/10/24/khawaja-ruling.html ::) The police can only operate within the...
