Good: Decision Maker Takes Responsibility Delagates Bad: Aversion to advise Self before Mission Waffling Going back to the previous argument regarding Officers and NCMs. The two main reasons seem to be technical competence and teaching humility. While there should be opportunities to advance...

Obviously you have a lot to learn WRT the Artillery. 120s have been around for awhile, but superseding 105s/155s highly unlikely. Mortars, Howitzers, and Guns all have the advantages and weakness, and it is wise not to rely on one totally. Wrong - Arty is the only all weather. flexible fire...

Equation - You Salute commissioned officers OCdts are not commissioned officers Ergo..... As to the w/o headdress, you don't have to check your arms, and you should already be straightened up, the salute is in the acknowledgment. And   you salute all commissioned officers of countries...

It all comes down to money and profits. Reality TV doesn't pay actors rates, and (by proof here) people are willing to watch. But like all trends, us masses will get bored and move on to the next fad. (Remember it was cop shows, then doctor shows, the sitcoms - its a never ending treadmill) As...

Eh Wes, ask for piss here and I guarantee you won't get beer! :blotto:

When in doubt, ask. You mat get a weird look, but a least you'll learn. Everyone assumes everyone else knows the lingo. Sometimes it is truly important that you understand what is required, so it maybe be a wee bit embarrassing asking but better safe then sorry. And think of it this way, when...

This what happens when you have a peacetime army for 50 years, and the civilization of the CF (ex Canadian Armed Forces). There is no one left with wartime experience to say. Stop, what do you think you assholes are doing. That won't work because....War clears the mind and get rid of the...

They'll do their time, probably reduced if any and get a dishonourable. No loss, no foul. Unfortunately its the system. As for being a conscientious objector, does pan in an all volunteer army. From my understanding one was a cook and therefore probably never leaving the base camp.

Pre-loaded magazine...hum 32 rds x 36 lbs = !!!!!   That loader better be a real big bugger  ;D I firmly believe in a manual loading system You'll get the same rate of fire, with a much greater flexability. Have the platform mobile (SP) with GPS , self orientation, data link and auto fuse...

That right, it'll auto-load the 32 rds and fire them... then what   (my first sentence should say re-load vice load).

As everyone knows, you fire 32 rds, you've got to load 32 rds. And with a 3 man Detachment, that would mean Driver, Det Comd, and oh yes...Loader. Hope he's a big bugger. Though I image it must be accompanied by an ammo limber. As well 32 rds is only approx 4-6 minutes of fire. Then how long to...

What I actually said was become partisan. This is the biggest problem, and  I can't think of a solution. Other then to mitigate its effects. Therefore the proportional system (I not a great fan either) would counter the "first past the post. Your MP is accountable to you, the constituent. The...

My feelings are the Executive branch must remain elective. In this way they are accountable to the House of Commons through having a seat there. Leave the House of Commons as the status quo (except possibly a fixed term), and move to an elected Senate, based on equal number per province and...

Negativity becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. As to Area ex suck? There isn't enough coperate memory to remember the last one in LFWA. 1990 (or Oh God 90) if I remember correctly.

The same things were said about Pearl Harbour. However following the theory along, the US government need something to wake the populous up (for potentail invasion of Iraq? - this would echo Clarke), but as the 9/11 report says, lacked the imagination to think of the magnitude and horror of the...

Yea, and dogs can't tell the difference.

I've lived in Brandon for a number of years, and the city and the Base are putting out the welcome mat for 2VP. I'm not quite sure how 1 RCHA feels (though it can't be entirely happy since all the attention has be focused on 2 PPCLI, whle they have been there for years), but, yes, the JR should...

All positive Base Comd is LCol MSE Op but good guy, and RSM is armoured from down east just posted in

Does this sound like a blast from the past?
