The CAF is unwilling to invest personnel in the individual training enterprise.

Bean counters are more likely to understand the time required to develop technical proficiency. It's the operators who assume away support and its related timelines. The CAF needs more technicians with lesser skill sets. The obsession with having singular all singing all dancing technicians...

Some of the training issues are RCN own-goals. Amalgamating their technical trades into a single one has failed, just like it failed when tried in other navies, and just like how RCAF tech trades were merged then unmerged. There seems to be an indecent obsession among "operational" occupations...

There are two parallel efforts right now: First, consolidation of military pay into CCPS; and Second, implementation of a new, off the shelf pay system (configured for CAF needs, but not customized). However, there are limited support resources available to support the in service systems, and...

@McG is referring to what happens when a member of the Res F is deemed a member of the Reg F for the purposes of the CFSA (that is, they move from part I.1 to part I) and the knock on effect if they are also a contributor to the PSSA or RCMPSA. The impact can be significant and damaging to an...

When I had some peripheral involvement in that process years ago, the longest delays were internal to units and brigades.

Some items are restricted because of cost and limited availability, to ensure commanders can direct repair priorities.

There is a foundational difference between the "short term unavailable" and the "chronic unavailable". Like the career Cpl whose day job is busy, then rearranges availability to deploy for 6 months while taking a pay cut.

There is nowhere that I have seen talk of reductions. There may be talk of centralization of functions like recruiting and training to OFP so that units focus exclusively on collective training / mandatory annual training for trained soldiers. That said, fifty guys who collectively parade 150...

SSgt X of the RCMP, a team leader in a specialized unit, before a disciplinary tribunal for the third time, including a prior conviction for contravening s 3.2 of the RCMP code of conduct, "Members act with integrity, fairness and impartiality, and do not compromise or abuse their authority...

Normal respect for the free press.

Nah, Canadian women's national sports teams winning isn't different. A men's team winning? That would be a change.

There is no planned force reduction. There is talk of overhead reduction. And ongoing efforts to weed out the one night a month crowd.
