    A Deeply Fractured US

    It's gonna be loony tunes time for the conspiracy theorists. https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/57-year-old-suspect-sought-in-targeted-shootings-of-minnesota-state-lawmakers/

    King Charles III

    Would a physical Canadian crown be the Canadian "Crown Jewels" or should that be the singular "Jewel" since there are no others. But wait, while a Brit may automatically think of the shiny things guarded in the Tower of London when they hear that phrase, it's just as likely that a Canadian man...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Seen. However, I was thinking about the possible abortion angle that was mentioned, which often has a religious component to motive. So many crazies, so many threads. How to match them?

    Looking for advice

    Do you know if the stand up of a Public Health Officer MOSID will initially be done (similar to PAs) by offering commissions to senior PMed Techs who meet the academic/certification requirement (bachelor's & CPHI(C))? The PMeds I knew who got the certification (not a gimme) were usually Snr...

    One connection to Trump arising from the Minnesota political shootings.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    As much as many will immediately associate a rise in political violence with the attitudes, pronouncements and general antics of the current US administration, perhaps discussion of this latest incident should be moved to a separate thread or to an existing "general terrorism" thread. There is...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I haven't seen any "national" 250th anniversary parades scheduled for October 13th. Or November 10th. Oh wait, the Corps always does a birthday party each year with a cake. I was looking for an appropriate Will Rogers' quote. I faintly remember something about if you're going to honour the...

    Looking for advice

    Is "Public Health Officer" a new (or to be a new) occupation? Or is it to be a sub-specialty of an existing MOSID, perhaps Bioscience, such as in the old days when "PMed" was one of the specialties of Medical Associate Officer (MAO) that encompassed all the medical branch MOCs except for MOs...

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

    https://recruiting.army.mil/aboutUSAREC/ "more than 1,400 recruiting stations across America and overseas" But for "processing", applicants have to go elsewhere. https://www.mepcom.army.mil/Sectors-Battalions-and-MEPS/ The question then for CFRCs, is their primary function attraction or...

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

    A conversation overheard at a local mall. Excuse me Mister, why are you hanging around the food court? I've seen you here every day for the past two weeks. I'm looking for fit young boys and girls. I want to show them something exciting. Please come with me. We want to have a chat with you.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    An interesting read. As I went through it I couldn't help but notice that several times the projectiles thrown at law enforcement were identified as ". . . fireworks, rocks and mangos . . .". No other fruit, vegetable or other comestible was listed as a weapon. Is there such an overabundance...

    Class A reservist

    Given that the OP had posted a question three weeks ago that suggests he is not yet in the CAF, and all of his posts (few as they are), dating back a couple of years, are inquires about what various occupations do or what are the benefits, I would suggest that even he doesn't know what he would...

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

    Seen. No one Few people go downtown anymore unless it's for a specific purpose. There's no window shopping, retail foot traffic is non-existent and the majority of people downtown during the day are there because they either have a job (and are inside working) or because they're on the edges of...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I'm not too sure about that. The Title 10 article under which Trump ordered these guardsmen/women to active duty includes this statement: "Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of...
