I may be completely wrong here, but weren't the DEW line sites decommissioned about 10 years ago? And if that's the case, wouldn't it be a moot point to consider an attack on something that we don't use?

pbi: Sorry that the results were not communicated to you prior to this. The CLS letter was sent to all Area Commanders with the excel spread sheet and the rationale was explained to them at Army Council. If you would like me to email you the letter and spreadsheet, I'll be happy to do so. Cheers.

Moderator: The minister has agreed to taking two or three questions so John Thompson on microphone number 3. Question: Thank you. Actually, I've come to ask a small favour. (Laughter.) As a lawyer and of course as a cabinet minister, you understand the importance of words and even a small word...

So continental defence will be one of my key focusses over the coming months but it's not going to be the only priority. As we look to position the department and the Canadian Forces to meet the challenges of the future, I'll be concentrating on three things: first, completing the defence policy...

The increased volatility of the international security environment has also produced greater demands on the Canadian Forces. The statistics are well known but also very telling. Since the end of the Cold War, the number of operations in which our military have participated has tripled compared...

Hon. Bill Graham: Thank you very much, Roy, for that more than kind introduction. Since I am speaking before dinner, I'd better get my glasses or you'll have a quicker dinner than planned. But, Roy, thank you for those kind words, particularly your reference to our time together in the House of...

It's not exactly true that the hair regs have not changed since WW II. They have for women. It used to be that women's hair was either put up or it had to be short enough that it did not reach the bottom of the collar. It also used to be that any hair clips used could not be shown. That has...

I would suggest removing the whole "purchase" of infrastructure and develop more the ideas of renting, leasing, or shared use facilities. Also, don't be stuck on infantry. We have lots of that. If you want to get it passed by the politicians and grown ups here, take a look at new capabilities.

Redleafjumper: As the Public Affairs Officer for LFRR and basically the one who writes the LFRR perspective in any correspondance from the Minister of National Defence when it pertains to us, may I offer the suggestion of waiting until the Defence Policy Review is completed and released. I then...

Good to see that you are questioning your leadership abilities before entering. The option that no one has mentioned yet is that you can enter as an NCM where you will slowly be given leadership roles and over time if you feel that you want more of that, you can always request to take your...

I would like to take a minute to get back to the original post and the suggestion that the tanks being replaced by Strykers was not in the media. I'll have to beg to differ here. The news conference with LGen Hillyer and then MND John MacCallum was on 29 Oct 2003. On 30 Oct 2003, the following...

I'm still trying to figure out what the pregnant lady has to do with the GF making out with another guy.

Pugnacious. From what I understand, since Sept 11th CSIS will take 6 months to even a year for their background check if you've lived out of the country. Thank you for the "s" on "anyway" note. I tried explaining that a few months ago and people around here cut my hands off at the wrists as a...

I can't seem to find a CANFORGEN or CANLANDGEN pertaining to this. Not from 2004 anyway. If you can give me an approximate time frame when it was issued, I can look it up and copy and paste it on here for you. Cheers!

Blackberry. I've read your posts with considerable interest. You come onto this site spewing epithets and the vernacular calling all recruiters uneducated (which you misspelled)  idiots and claim that the recruiter suggested rampant racism within a certain unit. You also claimed that it was...

Ok. I looked up the pay tables and there are pay tables for Colonels and Generals. I'd give you the link but it's on the DIN. Here are the rates with a minimum and maximum range: Colonel: min - 86,100 max 101,300 BGen: min 98,600 max 116,000 MGen: min 119,900 max 141,100 LGen min 136,700 max...

It's not exactly a "negotiation" of salary. It's a base salary and then they are given a yearly "performance bonus" based on their PER. It's for the rank of colonel and above. I think the only one who really negotiates a salary for himself is the CDS. I'm not 100% certain of this, but this is my...

Yep they do. That started several years ago.

"I just hope I don't get raped" What on earth would make you say something like that?
