    Operation HONOUR discussion

    And lost in the ongoing angst about the "harm" being done to the accused by the publication of the charges being laid is the fact that charges are not laid on a whim. There must be reasonable grounds to believe the offence was committed. Although not as high of a standard as the beyond a...

    Operation HONOUR discussion

    Wow, I guess Op HONOUR has been underway a lot longer than I realized if that is the reason for these news releases... Military Police lay charges against a member of the Cadet Instructors Cadre (Feb 2012) Sexual Assault Charges Laid For Incidents (Sep 2010) Note that this is not something that...

    Memo response time

    On a generic memo, there is no "must reply by" date anymore. There used to be a "round trip memo" form back in the day when we did things by ink and carbon paper that had a timeline on it and this is generally where people come up with the idea that a timeline still exists. Having said that...

    Fmr MCpl Patrik Mathews - facing U.S. federal charges/alleged white supremacist

    Standards of proof in administrative law are lower than criminal law. Just because someone hasn't been convicted of a criminal offence doesn't mean they still can't be dealt with administratively, up to and including release from the CAF.  We even use the administrative process to release...

    Tan berets and other CANSOFCOM, JTF, and CSOR fashions [1st split: CSOR]

    Meh, I guess it depends on what you consider "good taste". The CP folks set that bar pretty damn low with their qual badge.

    Married Service Couples [MSC]

    You say, "CT," so I'm presuming that right now you are a reservist, in which case you don't technically become a service couple until you complete your CT to the Regular Force. If you still haven't completed your CT the time his posting message is cut he could end up anywhere. What he should do...

    Dress and Deportment

    You seem to think that you can just cherry pick the part of the Instruction that fits your desire but you can't, you need to read it in totality. In this case, although the BEARDFORGEN was the means to make the announcement, the final authority is what is in the dress instructions. Fortunately...

    Chief Military Judge Col Mario Dutil Charged

    Any insight on how that doctrine might actually be applicable in this instance? I get the requirements pertaining to the "defence of necessity" but what is at play here?

    Ottawa to pay nearly $1B to settle sexual misconduct lawsuits against CAF

    I'm confused. How have you seemingly missed the entire reason for Op HONOUR by this point?

    Chief Military Judge Col Mario Dutil Charged

    And the next step is taken, the appeal has been filed to overturn the ruling. It's a short article so nothing further at the link: Prosecutors try to get top military judge's trial back on track

    "Irregular" / extended working hours

    Exactly, have you been ordered to work these hours or is this a result of a conversation where the Sgt was making a point, winding you up etc? If you haven't done so, check your unit's Standing Orders and/or Routine Orders. Most have the "regular" working hours while in Garrison in there, can...

    Dress and Deportment

    Sorry, just noticed that this was locked, probably because the old thread the latest comments was merged with was locked for some reason. So if anyone has been trying to post but couldn't, have at it. Milnet.ca Staff

    Dress and Deportment

    You're a Patricia, treating Dress Instructions as mere suggestions is Regimental policy, is it not?

    Dress and Deportment

    I don't disagree with you on that point, but inferred guidelines are notoriously difficult to enforce. Given the way this is written, someone could basically show up with a quasi chin-strap and argue that they are still within the rules. The picture provided as an example is of no help as there...

    Dress and Deportment

    There is no specification on where the beard line is supposed to be on the neck or cheeks, it is just, "A beard shall be worn with a mustache; it shall be neatly trimmed, especially on the lower neck and cheekbones; and it shall not exceed 2 cm in bulk." Maybe at some point, some enterprising...
