In most cases, I am sure, against their desire :) You are right that bringing the 9 to 5 mentality to the field is bad. Arguably, it`s bad the other way around too. Some field collector coming to a strategic desk might go insane waiting for a critical mass of intelligence to be assessed before...

The CF model has four steps: Direction - Collection - Processing - Dissemination See B-GJ-005-200. I was mostly refering to the fact that some tactical intelligence needs a lesser amount of analysis, which can be conducted locally in a theater environment. I.e. armoured columns moving SSE at...

If you have access to a gym, there are machines that take some weight off your body weight. You could try those. Other than that, perform series of partial or negative chin ups. See here: http://twentypullups.com/content/what-pull As well, if you are trying pull ups (supination), try chin ups...

Both of which are pathetic and sad. But then, if your mission goes to poop, you can always mull from your early retirement how that "Chair Force" guy might somehow still have gotten the intelligence right... (not laughing at the Air Force just underlining the irony here...)

And volume-wise  these account for the by far largest share of intelligence. Furthermore, even field-collected intelligence is more often that not useless without processing, review and analysis by, typically, desk analysts. So a balance is necessary.

That is what I could call a "minimalist" swim suit.

Nowadays, since SCONDVA in the 90`s, military personel make 8% more for the same task. There certainly isn`t any clothes allowance for civvies, nor tax deductions. The one big thing you get as a civvy is, I`ll give it to you, overtime. On the downside, there`s no such thing as sliders. You are...

Consider this: I started in government as a Management Trainee, a program designed to fasttrack you to senior positions. Over three years, received a grand total of two weeks of training, plus a  day Project Management course. that is it. Now no officer gets qualified with less than a year...

Exactly what I had in mind. Friends in SJS reported the same situation: same cubicles, same direct reports, same task template, 20k difference in salary. They are not complaining, to be noted, just observing.

Is this the first rumour you see posted here? Plus last time I posted a rumour it turned out to be true. Plus it`s from someone with access to the info, so I see no reason to doubt it.

Hem, it`s more the other way around, i.e. RegF go on the Reserve one. George is right: the wait is LONG in Kingston. So long, trade`s closed. As a reservist, truth is, you'll get qualified much faster.

But, plus the military factor. At 100K, that is 8K.

Hey I am NOT saying that the cost/benefit ratio of a civilian is better. But typically, "analysts" positions staffed at the LCol level have a good 15-20K difference with their civilian counterparts in SWE.

Disclaimer: This is a rumour. Nobody freaks out. While it is from a trustworthy source, it was said in passing and I for one cannot verify the info. So it goes. Apparently, the current Strategic Intake Plan is under review and all trades not currently in the red will see their numbers brought...

The dates posted by George are for RegF courses in Kingston, the dates should still stand for Reserve courses at CFFS(Q).

There is an NCAGS starting Jan 17. Course sollicitation msg is not out yet. Next BIOC will likely be next summer, but that will fall in Trg Year 2011-2012 and that is not out yet.

For discussion, I would suggest: - Corporate memory (no postings) - Specialized fields of expertise: can see that in CDI, Policy, Planning - Traditional civil service fields of expertise: budgetting, policy, liaison with government (PCO, TBS submissions, MCs) - Cheaper: for any given position...

Ha ha very well put.

Hmm well then please point out other "fallacies", I'm curious.

You are oh-so right, tree hugger  :P She's not interested  ;D But of course she could do what she wants! Her life is 99.9% her own (hey, we ARE married... which means 50% of mine is mine). As I said though, if 18 months later Lenin was to rise from his mausoleum (you never know) and untold...
