20+ years...I think it's among the top 5 ever!

Hopefully, the Salesforce software will be able track that metric and where the pain points are. It is a very bureaucratic system for folks to navigate

Yea unless there isn't room on the 05 Feb crse then it will be the next one

Log generally pre-positions folks at their first place of employment while undergoing training. Since there isn't much time until you arrive in Borden, likely you will go to Borden and from there they will employ you in situ under the base BTL, send you back to your home(assuming your F&E aren't...

Which is why I wish we would have put more emphasis on Canadian resource extraction like refineries and LNG hubs. We can smartly extract resources despite what the anti-pipeline folks think. We are a rich country afraid to use our resources.

Lots of bases are wide open. They all have the ability to restrict access and the areas that needs restriction get it. No point in using resources to protect some admin buildings. I can walk up to Parliment hill, doesn't mean I see or access anything harmful to country. Things that need...

I mean many of the CA's fleets are being refreshed both B and A fleets We are regaining capabilities in AD, ATGM and CUAS The CA's long term outlook has many key upgrades funded (recent DLR brf to senior CA folks) Is it everything? No and I hope for more but am cautiously optimistic and...

As @dapaterson points out if you aren't OFP you aren't deploying. To (potentially) answer your question pretty sure that you still need one year of service as a 2LT for promotion to Lt. I don't have access to CFAOs right now and PRes promotion policy isn't something I have memorized so...

There are aspects that is Latvia only right now, but the rest of the CA is modernizing as well domestically. I agree with you in some regards but at the end of the day we are replacing our clapped out stuff for new and shiny. That is a win, regardless how you look at it. I wish we would...

Nice video. I am eager to hear how well looked the LTVs will be. It was always one of those things that our light Bns were missing was that ability to transit moderate distances in a tactical environment. In any case it might not feel like it too many folks, but we are slowing building up...

Updated link still DWAN only ROYAL CANADIAN LOGISTICS SERVICE - BTL DEU Change Request Officers

I detest bells, whistles and the myriad of dress changes that suck up time and energy but even I can say they look good. Now if only the CA could join the rest of CAF in embracing ball caps

Ya I saw that, highly surprised if that holds true, it is the largest officer trade but maybe they have too many folks in the hopper and are saving slots for in-service selection. That has happened in the past and it took years to bring down the training backlog. Maybe they are trying to...

If the two CoC agree then it is probably doable as long as they can do the job they were posted to do in the first place. This is the type of situation IR fits though although I realize it doesn't work for every posting situation.

Indeed, I have the same experience from people "thundering" about the center while never working to solved the issues that caused the problems. The irony is many of those folks are great to work with but ignore the units and the center equally in kind.

Both are fair points. We have likely all seen the leader who is proud of never going to Ottawa not realizing they could make the most difference there! But folks in the center have to realize that everything they do affects the ends users and optimize it so the impact doesn't fall on them.

Highly doubtful, it is a constant demand trade.

I wouldn't worry about it. It is a trade that has a lot of churn so it is generally always open.

I don't think a discussion surrounding the topic needs just such hyperbole. @foreststab and other have raise some very salient points about the nature and failings of the current H&A system and the perceived gaps. One can argue their point without going down the road of calling the other's...

Yeah I caught that too.
