And in that event, it becomes a military duty. And if you're fulfilling a military duty, then you clearly can't be on leave. And you most certainly can't be expected to take leave for such an event.

Pfft, no such thing as a mandatory mess event. They're not your chain of command. They can't order you to do a damned thing. The closest that can happen is your chain of command deciding to order everyone to go to a mess event, but then it really becomes a military duty that happens to...

The ability to only have to negociate a single contract, and let the company that wins the bid be the ones who have to work out all the details in various ports?

Isn't that more so the case for the Special Requirements Commissioning Plan? (IAW CFAO 11-14, DWAN only link because god forbid we put information on the internet that doesn't conform to TB's common look and feel) Admittedly, I can probably count the number of CFRs I know of on my fingers...

A glance at the DAOD on Remedial Measures and at the QR&O chapter on release didn't indicate anything that would prevent this.

Well, I think that was a given regardless of who they put in Defence; as long as Harper is still PM and Flaherty is Finance, the various departments will be facing their expected cuts in order to enact the government's promise of an elimination of the deficit by 2015.

I think it's somewhat important to highlight the specific wording of the QR&O in question

Extremely competetive is perhaps an understatement. The information I recieved from when I queried the point of contact listed in the message was that on a typical year, the MLTP will get 70 - 80 applicants, of which 2 will usually be accepted into the program. So... methinks I need to ace my...

I know I'm bumping a bit of an old thread, but J.D. = Juris Doctor, which is the type of basic degree granted by most law schools in the country. It's a "newer" term used for what was formerly called the Bachelor of Laws (abbreviated LL.B. from whatever the plural of Legum Baccalaureus Latin...

I know of one LCdr who plays it out here. She didn't seem to have any issues from her CoC the last time I talked to her about it. As for regulations, well, I think it's the same deal as a lot of other sports, such as downhill skiing. It's not approved as part of the physical fitness program, so...

For low-mid range mechanicals, I'd definitely agree that Hamilton's got some good quality there. If you want something a bit cheaper, but still an automatic, I'd suggest Seiko 5 sports, in particular their SNGZ line. I've got one of the SNGZ09s, with the green dial. You also might want to look...

I'm perfectly happy with the current mandatory sentence of life in prison for high treason.

Not really. The only thing for which a citizen (of any stripe) can be stripped of their citizenship is fraud in relation to either their citizenship application, or the application which lead to them becoming a permanent resident prior to citizenship. There is no such provision under the...

I never actually had a picture in my picture frame at all during basic. 8 years ago mind you, and of course your results may vary based upon your course staff, but still.

I'm pretty sure that's a position which is not always reserved for OCdts.

I know Mr. Prentice, having volunteered with his campaigns both when he was gunning for the leadership of the old PC Party, and then again for his election campaign as an MP candidate in 2004. He's really a great guy, and I was saddened to see him decide to leave politics. I certainly would...

So, this defnintely seems like a fairly significant policy shift, as it certainly had seemed in recent years like the department was leaning more towards / encouraging the Cross-fit style workouts.

One key thing to note is the following:

And conversely, plenty of folk get promoted before they hit the maximum pay incentive for that rank.
