If you downgrade the CDS from General to Colonel you downgrade all ranks below that. Thats is getting rid of hundreds of LGens MGens and BGens. If there is no position, then there is no need for anyone to occupy it. You would reduce the amount of senior Officer postions by a thousand, How does...

Yes, but the Army dont have an actual Div do we? We certainly dont have a Corps. Our "Div" is an HQ and doesn't have 15000 in it. I am talking about the real number of Troops we have in the Army, not paper. We should rank people for reality. You could run the Army with a Colonel. We had Brevet...

How many troops do we have now? 60 to 70 thousand? That doesn't need a Lt General.

I have heard that so many times it makes me sick. My first "command" in 1987 was as a no hook regforce Craftsman. I had the skills, so I was in charge and had 2 Cpls and 4 Ptes under me. Also was a CQMS as a Cpl. No one ever had a problem. I know lots of other instances of similar. Why is it an...

But then there will be a hell of a lot less of the of the Snr Officers and we still save money to use on other things! win win.

Yes the GOC had a lot to do with what has happened but the Military is just as guilty. It could put a stop to the bloat at NDHQ etc. I could put the money it spends on the 1000s of senior Officers who really dont have anything to do but have meetings. Why does the Infantry have no bullets or...

The military gets more than enough money to buy and do what we need with it. Just compare the money we get with other countries who are similar and see what they have in the inventory i.e. Australia and Spain. They seem too be able to buy equipment.

The military should not get a cent of money till it can clean up the mess that it has become. Get rid of all the bureaucracy and make the CDS a Colonel and down grade or fire anyone under that rank. We need a proper fighting force and actual Brigades (with equipment) so get rid of anyone who...

Someone needs a blanket party.

Then put them in jail till they die.

And troops without mullets took first place.......

But if you reduce the CDS to a 3 star then you reduce the number of GOFOs under him/her and that means you save money!

From what I have read about him, and it isn't that extensive, he seemed to get far up the ladder through friends in high places over competence, but that could be said of a lot of senior officers back then (and now....). There were a lot of troops who got a VC for doing far more than what he got...

Sir Redvers Buller. Not sure of why you chose him, but he was a bit of a dunderhead?

On the day I was born I was wearing combat boots which my mother DID NOT appreciate! Joined the Army in 1983, when the parents relented and had (mostly) a great time. Just retired last year and do miss it a bit, but for me the fun days were over.

So you apply for that at SISIP not at VAC?

What is CAF LTD? I dont see it on the list at VAC.

Wait till the price of gas goes up on April 1st!

I am sorry but I do not agree with you. I know everyone has a right to their opinions and I respect that but that ( insert word here) is ruining our country and he is doing it knowing what he is doing. He has 9 years in power and he cant figure that out???? If you only listen to "yes" people in...

I just released last year and I applied for and got the Income Replacement Benefit and it is really good. Because of the beating my body took it's not easy to get work. The IRB makes it so I dont have to worry. I got a lot more than I thought and it is a RELIEF!
