I can't argue with that. The officers do tend to grow rather outrageous coiff's.

I can't see what good parkas will do them if ISIS has cut their heads off. Perhaps we could drop bombs and parkas? That would keep everybody happy.

It looks like that photo was taken in an operational theatre. Here is a picture of the paras during Remembrance Day ceremonies in Colchester. Their shirts are all tucked in which is how the combat uniform is worn while in garrison. IMO it makes for a more professional looking working dress.

I'm assuming your either being sarcastic or aren't referring to the Brit uniform.

I must admit I find it curious that you're already concerned about a career after CSOR. You're going to have to work bloody hard just to get there and you're already thinking about what you could do once you're out. Well the obvious comes to mind police officer, PMC operator, or some type of...

I have an obvious bias but IMO the Brit uniform looks more professional with the shirt tucked into the pants, and a stable belt while in garrison. Clearly we're not going to introduce stable belts here as that would add an unnecessary cost but the shirt tucked in could have been done. However...

Good bloke!

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can be with a Ranger battalion without have completed the Ranger course?

It isn't and since as it was stated earlier that completion of the Ranger course doesn't necessarily mean serving in a Ranger battalion there really isn't any reason why woman shouldn't be allowed to attempt the course.

If the unit is predominantly if not exclusively male then I would imagine the challenges are going to be similar if not identical. I chose the term battalion in my earlier post because we are talking about the Rangers and they to the best of my knowledge are organized as battalions.

No doubt those are two extremely fit woman. The problem is how do you successfully integrate them into a battalion of 600 men? I know that this subject has already been discussed here and I don't recall anyone actually coming up with a viable solution.

The Royal Marine Commando course is 32 weeks. Let's not give those cabbage heads too much credit.

I apologize my question was poorly worded. So a corporal could recommend a private be charged.

Out of curiosity can a corporal lay a charge against a private? If no why not?

Ya that would end up with a reserve training system suitable only to students and the unemployable.

IMO on the offensive scrim serves no purpose. It will be movement that alerts the enemy to your presence long before the shape of your helmet does. That and I'm sure the defenders won't think that they're being attacked by a company of wild bushes. If you're on a recce or any other type of...

If this is going to be fixed the CF is not going to copy anyone else's system no matter how well it may have worked. They're certainly not going to copy the Brit's as the French would complain bitterly about anything that resembled a return to our British roots. No they would much rather...

WTF?!

This would be a great idea for Hamilton as well. There are two infantry regiments and both have been steadily declining for one reason or another over the last few years, and both occupy the same armouries. If one unit could be formed likely from the RHLI as they're the senior regiment it would...

Would a middle ground be something modelled on what the Brits did with Royal Regiment of Scotland, where each unit maintains it's identity but organizationally comes under one flag? That would at least stream line things somewhat as well as eliminating numerous senior leadership positions.
