at least not publicly admitted.

Perhaps things have changed otherwise no to the cold medicine. If you need meds you will see the medics/MO and have it provided.

Gun Tape it!!

True but when the unit says everyday group PT will be 0800-0930 that is what you have to work with. Can't help some people that come up with what they think is a great plan without talking to those that have to deal with it in the end. Just with clerks alone (it was RMS Clks at the time) for...

yeah that was such a weird number that none of us could figure out. Guess next year I won't be the only one getting 30. the nice part is they finally fixed the reserve leave to match the regular force. Now our reserve staff will be getting 25 days instead of 24 (none have the 25 years yet).

I agree fully but the problem I see all the time is that the units will build the PT into their work days and then complain that the office isn't open, their paperwork isn't done fast enough, they call and can never reach anyone, etc. Don't tell me I have to do PT from 0800h to 0930h then...

In my not so humble opinion - yes. The world is very much in an upheaval and no one can truly predict what may happen at any point. It would be better to be in, trained and ready rather than wait for something to happen and join hoping for the action only to have it end before you are...

Exactly. Trades were asked to provide input on what cats was needed for their people and this was taken into consideration so that they can do more trade centric med requirements. For a large part HRA/FSA does not need anywhere near infantry standards as the trades doesn't really do field...

Hopefully some one can help. I am trying to request the environment certificate for one of my staff but everything I find for the army leads to cancelled canforgens. Anyone happen to have up to date information? thanks in advance.

In general that is the rule in at least most of Canada but unfortunately not adhered or enforced. Only time it comes into play is when something happens and they need to place blame. It boils down to adults on the road, kids on the sidewalk for their safety.

Both of these remind me of the good time that Aldershot used to be. Mainly used by the Army, run by the Air Force (Greenwood) and owned by the Navy. Sometimes took creative thinking to get things done. They wanted to replace a condemned H-hut, Greenwood was agreeable, Navy said sorry no...

Ok and as they don't use the portion of the road you use they should stop paying for it and you pay more. The rest has no bearing as they are not on the road anymore. What you did miss, and I am surprised no one mentioned unless I missed the post, is that maybe there should be a requirement...

Yep, we just paid FOA. Couldn't imagine doing 100+ claims every exercise. Depending on when they go into the field it may be required. If the CHRA can influence things right you can have it purely CLDA and no claim. Reminds me of a case where a reserve unit had a new Fin O start. The Fin...

Ottawa is a winter city - what does that have to do with biking? I biked from March/April to Dec depending on the snow level, my co-worker biked year round. The majority of cities and towns aren't Ottawa or Toronto though. We have bike lanes that hardly get used. Except for the once a year...

You mean those of us that joined in the 80's? usually don't think of us as the newer generation but nice to have the recognition for our efforts. it was a bit nerve racking facing possible drummed up charges and booting from the military by standing with our friends against the system. The...

That is great, hopefully everyone remembers that when those that used the bike lanes are now casually riding their bikes in front of them as the law requires them to ride on the street. Both sides mishandled that one in a rush to appease their friends. Bike lanes are good when done right...

Short term pain for long term gain is not a bad thing. When troops suffer the unit suffers and command takes notice. When it happens enough they start looking into the issue and for a solution. No one wants the troops to suffer but if it isn't resolved all that is happening is delaying it...

I can give his answer - "because Biden was in power when it made the trip. I didn't take charge until Monday afternoon and this was already well on its way to Canada. If I had been in power the border would have been closed and those drugs would never have made it into the USA."

That's my line! and it's true.

Sometimes letting things fail is the best solution. It highlights that there is an issue that needs to be fixed. I used to put in a lot of over time to get the job done. I no longer put in as many hours as I realized the effect it had. By working the hours I did no one realized that there was...
