Take a read of, "Forced to Change: Crisis and Reform in the Canadian Armed Forces" by Bernd Horn and Dr. Bill Bentley for the academic viewpoint.

Hmm...how to put it. The RCN "experience" is very much influenced by your rank and mess.  If you are an Officer, your "experience" is night and day compared to what an OS/LS has. While this is true across the board, the divide between those experiences in the navy is massive. And it all boils...

This is the problem, the people at the top of the divide just don't get it, because they are the ones who are benefiting from it. I was posted to a navy base for 4 years, well into my career. The gulf between the Officers - Chiefs and POs - Jr Ranks of the RCN was astonishing and something I...

Since you brought it up publicly, I will say the following for full transparency: 1) The complaint was made by a third party, not by the member your comment was directed at. 2) Your comment was not the subject of the complaint. 3) When I was addressing the initial complaint, I took notice of...

I received a PM from a user who was concerned that DS were reading the private messages that they had sent via the MilPoints system to another user.  MilPoints are fully public, including the comments you attach when awarding them. Please see the MilPoints FAQ for the full details... -...

Wienie: I split the other thread because although the initial post was about "why so many incompetent men become leaders" in general, applicable to both the military and civilian worlds, it quickly took a turn to focusing on CAF specific issues such as SLT and all the rest. The initial...

The member hasn’t been on since Sept last year. However, if you send the member a private message here on the site, if he has his profile set to do it, the private message will generate an email notification to him, which might allow you to initiate contact.

Brought forward to reiterate. Some of you have forgotten that commenting when awarding or deducting MilPoints will be held to the same standard as Mikes guidelines. It’s not a way to skirt the rules. It’s not a way to get a free pass on attacking a poster directly.  It’s not that hard to be...

RCAF HQ is in Ottawa...

I was posted to a MP Pl in a previous life. We had a Reg Force MCpl maintainer with a full bay and all the tools he needed. If he needed assistance on something, he could tap into the MP on strength and if it was something too technical, he could ask either HQ&Sigs or Svc Bn to get parts and/or...

There is no CAF policy which states this. Some units might be doing that at the local level for some odd reason, but you aren't going to find it anywhere in national level policy. Edit to add: This was written thinking you are deploying directly from your home unit as an individual augmentee...

You've made the assertion that it was PET who kept property rights out a few times, yet never provide a source. So...here's the actual answer from the Fraser Institute: Lacking constitutional protection, governments routinely trample property rights Lots of people to point that particular...

That isn't how Division and Brigade patches work. You wear the patches of the formation(s) you are on strength with, not those of the home formation(s) of the unit whose accoutrements you wear belongs to. So, if a PPCLI officer was posted to serve with the Black Watch as one of their RFC...

What does that even mean in this context? Is Chancellor Merkel stating that it was believed the shooter acted out of racism (the "R" word I believe you're alluding to) now in the same league as someone using the "n" word in your mind?

This. There are different also standards than the rest of the CAF as well but that will be explained during the recruiting process, if applicable.

Stumbled across a unique tribute from the US Army Band. A very noticeable lack of percussion... Time Stand Still

Your spouse is being posted, not you, so your VRPSM likely isn't going to factor into it. There are a couple of options available to you off the top of my head though. The first is your spouse makes a request asking that, if they are posted, the date is late in the APS to allow you to complete...

Only if you looked at it like I did and went, "Since when is the 1996 stuff "old style"?"

I doubt it; we can't get them to take stuff that is clearly within their mandate, they aren't going after some OS strumming in his basement who is now youTube famous. If they call MPU Esquimalt, I hope they have the fortitude to tell them to go away as well.
