    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    I hear you but it does matter if that person is expected to deploy which ultimately everyone should be able to.

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    Where did i say anything about running in my posts?  Your post seemed to imply that there wasn't enough time in a day for PT.  If i miss read it, my bad.  And stop that bullet $hit right now young lady, you're not scaring anyone!

    Great post, agreed that sometime you will have to put PT aside for op requirements but that should be the exception not the rule.

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    Your post adds nothing either.  Folks in my unit take the time to do PT, i sometime have time to do my own PT during working hours, my CO really does but the troops do and that is what matters.

    Sounds to me like a leadership problem.  Everybody should be given access to PT during working hours to achieve the minimum standard, full stop.

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    So you rather have all our people do the minimum required to just get by?  To me that is just encouraging a culture of laziness already present in todays youth; the xbox generation if you will.

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    Different levels would be great, don't care if it is only for bragging rights as i don't think that bringing back exemption or extra points is the way to go.  There are still going to be lazy a$$e$ who are only going to do the minimal level required and be happy with a "pass" but at least give...

    Tom Clancy, 1947-2013, R.I.P.

    So many great books, i stopped reading his stuff when he started collaborating with other writers on a few series.  Debt of honor is one of my all time favorite.

    'It's time to consolidate NDHQ' & 'DND to take-over Nortel Campus' (Merged threads)

    I guess first we would need to establish if the 2.35 million ft2 (figures taken from google) of office space at the Nortel Campus is exactly what we need to accommodate the folks from the 40+ buildings in the NCR.  I have not seen the planning figures so i am unsure if the place is just the...

    What we should have done is build a brand new complex in Uplands.  Lots of land, right by the airport, Bob's your uncle!

    yeah, i will definitely have a chat with PSP when i get back from leave.  There has to be some uniformity applied across the country otherwise this year of stats gathering will have been all for nothing.

    element change

    Yes, for the CE trades it used to be 60/40 (air/army) but we got it changed to 50/50.  Right in the middle of the Afghan conflict we were getting inondated with requests to change to army because the younger generation thought that it was "sexy".  We had to put some control measures in place to...
