Clearance Diver is a COT trade, that is drawn from across the CF - however, one must be a qualified CF diver...

Kind of interesting where they raise the issue of their neutrality pretty quickly, but yet have no issues sending their own military pers on Canadian courses or hosting our soldiers on their courses. While it's a little different than armed aircraft landing, it's still sending out vibes of...

Each course has a qualification standard and training plan. Those two docs lay out what is to be taught (the QS) and how the teaching is to occur including assessments (the TP).

The incident did happen - however what we have here is solely one person's story which the reporter is taking as a 100% factual account from that day. You're entitled to your opinion, as is everyone else. The only difference is that I was given details of this particular instance from the LS's...

While it's great to see that the MSM is trying to get him what they feel is deserved, I think there is far more to this that what is presented here. I had a detailed conversation with his Det Comd over this incident and any potential H&A, and in short, there was no nomination. My understanding...

Most likely not, however as EITS pointed out, a good quality backpack can go a long way. Most of them are of higher quality and more comfortable than what the CF issues anyways.

Is there any reason why the same thing could not be accomplished through the same means most Cbt Arms NCOs and WOs use when they are assessing candidates' abilities to move dismounted across a piece of terrain - a small pack or personally purchased Blackhawk backpack? Sorry, but I cannot for one...

I'm curious - why do you need full fighting order to supervise cadets?

I'm not sure I'm following you. Is your comment about explosives about the Slesse incident or that the branch let the EOD skillsets slide in the '90's? I will 100% agree that the RCE got back on board the EOD train full time after 2002's first foray into Afghanistan, but I would be hesitatant...

How so?

00181 is the MOSID for Engineer (i.e. Army Engr Officers) I wanna say 00189? is the MOSID for Construction Engineer Officer.

HB course? Did you staff a leave pass through the international student office to your home unit? (yes I know how much of a PITA it is) If not, I would hazard to say you are SOL. Plenty of other students have successfully reversed their LTA and had their spouses come down - all with a valid...

AFAIK, MSM / MSC do not have any rank prerequisites, only that whatever it is the person being nominated did was done in a highly professional manner or of a very high standard that brings benefit or honour to the Canadian Forces in some way. As a side note, I was told by DH&R in 2010 they were...

Been spending my own money on berets since I stopped wearing the leather rimmed behemoths back in the mid-90's ;) It's good to hear they're worth getting. Off to order one :)

Historically, I've purchased all my berets through Canex or other third party suppliers since cash sales went the way of the dodo. As it's that time again for a new beret, I'm looking at expending some of my points that replaced my clothing allowance. Do the berets through Logistik have huge...

Awww......look at my little Johnny, he's the ONLY one in step  ;) Sounds to me like the everyone else was on time - not a case of the varying levels of the CoC backing timings up for varying levels of inspections / map markings / etc etc.

Your first step would be to check YOUR unit standing orders. There are CF regs governing headdress, but your CoC will set the rules within your own unit lines on which areas require the wearing of headdress and which do not.

Right. Because the IRU is made up of reservists  :facepalm:

Probably the same reason why I had to have a couple of my subordinates' PiL amounts redone as they were wrong after being "verified". In all fairness, when dealing with that amount of paperwork moving around, it should be expected that a couple of issues may pop up. In my case, after a quick...

Recce is the British term, whereas Recon is American. As the CF has mainly British roots....
