    "Afghanistan Memorial Vigil" coming to Parliament Hill

    They're going to Valcartier for a single day after Quebec City for four.  Six days in Fredericton - looks pretty even to me. I don't really see the issue in it not going to Gagetown personally, it really isn't a far drive.

    Military Relocation / Posting Policy-Moves [MERGED]

    What happens now... You're taking a pay cut, that's your choice.  Whether someone else has done it successfully is irrelevant, but I guarantee many have done it successfully.  You can, however, forecast your future pay in today's dollars buy looking at the pay scales.  You move up one level...

    April 28th BMQ

    It's the platoon, or serial. The other platoon (0034E) is taking the same course (BMQ), but is a different group with their own instructors/CoC below the Coy level. A course ID refers to BMQ, and not the people taking it.

    Liberalism needs protection

    And I would say that such a protest should not be allowed, and is in fact illegal: Criminal Code (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46), Sec 319 (1) - "Every one who, by communicating statements in any public place, incites hatred against any identifiable group where such incitement is likely to lead to a...

    Liberalism needs protection

    I didn't specify violence.  Interestingly, you made the same assumption you thought I made, which helps to make my point on the dangers of this example. And there is still a call to action against an ethnic group as a whole because, in the hypothetical speaker's opinion, they are a source of...

    Liberalism needs protection

    The biggest issue I have is that the first example has a call to action.  Phil Robertson's (Duck Dynasty) comments about gay marriage, or Guida Barilla's (Barilla Pasta) rationale for not having LGBT relationships in his company's advertisements are totally acceptable examples of free speech. ...

    Travel Claim with Driving

    Just to add to that, the CFTDI only states that the Approving Authority shall not require the member to travel more than 500 kms per day; it doesn't say anything about being restricted to that distance.  Personally, I've never had a problem with travelling over 500 kms per day when travelling...

    Liberalism needs protection

    ...and the first is a call to action against an ethnic group based on an individual opinion that they, as a whole, are a threat to society.  The action is not implicit, but is open to the imagination of the audience.  I guess my response would depend on the environment - if this was said in an...

    Liberalism needs protection

    How are those two statements really different?  In the first, the individual is saying "Ethnic Group X...[is] a threat...they should answer for what they are doing." So you're painting a population with a wide brush, prejudging it's members based on ethnicity (against the Charter of Rights and...

    article: The US Marine Corps in the Pivot to the Pacific

    The best action the United States could take against China would probably be economic sanctions, yes.  The United States is a very large importer of Chinese-made goods, and they would definitely feel it if those goods stopped flowing out and the cash stopped flowing in. But there's a problem...

    Question: If frenchfrog didn't have a "competitive" CFAT score, would he even be sent to Trenton? I also don't know what the TSD score was, or how that factors in to who goes to CFASC...perhaps you could shed some light on that.

    You mean like this one? http://forums.milnet.ca/forums/threads/111450.0 I gave the answer I did because of the nuances of the medical screening system.  I know nothing about this individual's diagnosis of ADD, including how long it has been since the diagnosis, the severity of the condition...

    Don't wait until next year hoping for a shortage in pilot applicants, it won't happen.  Well, it could...but I think you'd have better odds with the lottery.  No idea if you'd be happy with anything else in the CAF, only you can really answer that question.  Use those research and critical...
