I've forgotten the proper/technical name for your "loaded question", but ... you presuppose neglect by an unspecified number of senior officers (but you conveniently overlook neglect of discipline/respect on the part of insolent underlings who in fact are a disgrace to the very heritage of...

Ya know, it just keeps rattling around in my brain bucket ... Basically, a patriotic Air Canada pilot has an idea to help our Air Force (or should I say the Air Transport Wing of our Joint Strike Force ...?) In other words - some ex-CF pilots, now flying for commercial airlines, see a way of...

What do the CGAR and CAFA have in common? Neither of them got off the ground ... (pun intended). However, I remember reading that once upon a time the US maintained an agreement with their major air carriers whereby a certain number of aircraft were designated for use by the military - perhaps...

Jul. 4, 2005. 10:06 PM Mountie (former CF) dies after cruiser hit by truck CANADIAN PRESS MILLET, Alta. - A Mountie was killed and another officer injured today after a parked cruiser was rammed by a truck on a flat, straight section of the main highway south of Edmonton, RCMP say. A male...

meniOn - Please refrain from anecdotal "evidence". Kingston's a nice place to live, especially if you're planning on retiring there (I've several friends who've done so, including one on Wolfe Island and a couple who've purchased a vineyard) Yes, Kingston has some "unique" attributes - when I...

That's odd - I thought the size of one's PMQ was linked to the family size, and availability ... not furniture (?)

The majority of mixed MOC/environment marriages that I've run across usually involve one spouse in a svc sp MOC.  As stated previously, clerks/cooks/bin rats/etc. can be employed virtually anywhere.  And, with regard to the comment about married officers, yes - it's true - officers can "look...

The newspaper story is dated 20 May (link in the first post), and says "Monday", which I presume to mean Mon 23 May.

There has been considerable discussion on this topic at work, and it has been frustrating. In the profession of arms, we speak of discipline and loyalty (both upwards and downwards ...). And, in the Orders process we spend time, energy and effort to ensure the Commander's Intent is both known...

Excellent link - thanks!  (the one I used/found was so crummy ... I didn't bother posting mine ... ha!)

Actually - May 4th is Remembrance Day in the Netherlands - May 5th is Liberation Day, as fol: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Netherlands has its own way of commemorating the Second World War and celebrating the country's liberation from five...

Finally found a pic of Regimental colours (albeit not RHFC)

I found this report very interesting, especially LGen Daillaire's perspective ... Divergent portraits of war Canadian heroes relive their battles: War Museum's 'anguished' portrait troubles Dallaire   Elizabeth Payne, The Ottawa Citizen, May 7, 2005 CREDIT: Wayne Cuddington, The Ottawa...

When I was in Kabul, CIMIC and LO's had them, because they had to attend meetings where rifles weren't always practical at the table (e.g. NGO's/IO's, maliks/mayors, schools/schoolchildren).

I know of two couples who've adopted "recently" - one Regular Force, the other Militia (they adopted a child from China, putting his frequent flyer pionts to good use ... chuckle). Haven't heard any bad news from either of them, so I'm presuming things are working out for the best ...

I agree - back in the 80's I tried to write a test, but the volume/quality on the speakers was so poor I couldn't hear what they were saying - I asked for the volume to be turned up, but the OCdt running the test said it was at the maximum ... so, rather than fail the test because the volume was...

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess "Regimental and Queen's Colours" (i.e. those ornate pieces of cloth, sometimes carried around on sticks by two subalterns accompanied by the Escort To The Colours - immediately before they appear/depart you'll often hear the command "March On/Off The...

Semaj, Have you tried http://findaperson.canada411.ca/ (i.e. apparently there are only five Shuglo's with listed telephone numbers in all of Canada ... and maybe it would be better talking to family as opposed to strangers here).

During the construction of the new War Museum, I kept wondering what the "Fifth Column" from the People's Liberation Army ... er, um ... federal Liberal party ... ooops ... politically correct Museum of Man Civilisation were plotting - I knew only too well that they'd plunge a dagger into the...

And, some other places that have a few Veh Techs (but not necessarily a "large number of ground troops" ...) ASU Toronto ... has Pearson International Airport, Buttonville Airport, and The Island Airport ASU London, CFSU Ottawa ... have airports, too ... Good luck - when my ex was posted to...
