    The vibe shift, end of "wokeness"?

    The new direction is only available on DWAN but here is what the older direction says Rescinded [2022-05-04] - Standard on Email Management- Canada.ca If I remember correctly the newer version only available on DWAN still had line 2 as optional

    Canada's tanks

    Also, would GDLS even bother putting in a bid for a Canadian tank contract, knowing it would be for a small number of tanks and that we would most likely be asking for specific Canadian requirements in the Statement of Works?

    July 2024: Two GTA men arrested, charged with terrorism linked to ISIS

    Just looked it up, Désiré Munyaneza is a nasty piece of work.

    Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

    I don't think that the voter turnout has anything to do with support for either the Liberal Party or the NPD. I think it is more of a reflection of Canadian society, we don't care. Maybe it is a case of thinking that outside of the major cities (Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa), your votes don't...

    Promotion to Cpl

    The switching from CFAOs to DOADs has got to be one of the worst-coordinated changes. It has been over 10 years and we are still referencing CFAOs, especially for something as important as promotions. I know that organizations are short staffed but we really need to fix this. I was thinking it...

    The Unintended Consequences of Diversity Statements

    Are you trying to say the LGBTQ have always had the same rights as the majority of Canadians? It was not until 1969 that decriminalized sexual activity between men occurred, meanwhile, it has always been legal for men and women to have sexual activities. It was not until 2003 when Ontario...

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    I believe the new army field dress (Canadian Army Combat Ensemble (CCUE)) will have bigger belt loops, but that is to allow the wearing of thicker battle belts. Have not seen any talk about stable belts. The new Canadian Army Service Dress is currently planning on having a Sam Browne for...

    For Soldiers at Fort Carson, Food Is Scarce

    From my understanding that is how "Combats Online", the new operational clothing contract that Logistics Unicorp was awarded to deliver operational clothing and equipment to CAF members will be. Much like the clothing online system they have for non-operational clothing that we currently use.

    Soldier Operational Clothing and Equipment Modernization

    Just to clarify what do you mean by CADPAT, as that is just a camouflage pattern? Are you talking about combat uniforms, the new interim uniform in CADPAT (MT)?

    Soldier Operational Clothing and Equipment Modernization

    Just for the record, CCUE and FOCE (Flying Operational Clothing Ensemble) are not projects, ithey are an initiatives. For the majority of the CAF that distinction dose not mean much, but for those that deal with funding the difference between project and initative means a lot.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    I think that when the other elements look at the new Canadian Army Service Dress they will want to modernize their uniforms. If only for the fact that the CASD will have different styles of cuts and more flexibility in sizing than the current uniforms, it is also made with more modern fabric...

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    The sizing info that DSSPM usually provides to industry is from the 2012 Canadian Forces Anthropometric Survey (CFAS) that was done by DRDC Toronto. For the Canadian Army Service Dress they also measured another roughly 500 soldiers to gain additional measurements that were not in the 2012 CFAS.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    They are also using this as an opportunity to make the uniforms more inclusive by fixing the sizing/fit of the uniforms.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    The plan is for officers and CWOs to wear a "Sam Browne" belt.

    Reconstitution

    Shame, I don't know if I would have ended up in the CAF if the reserve unit in Toronto (48th Highlanders) did not give info to my Highschool in Toronto. This led to me joining the Reserves and eventually transferring to the Regular Force.

    From NCM to Officer(Already have a university degree)

    For the most common means for an NCM to become an Officer is the Commissioning from the Ranks program. For this you need to be in a minimum of 10 years and hold the substantive rank of Sgt/PO 2. This is also a competitive program with only so many personnel selected every year, so it might take...

    Maybe I got lucky, but I think the Mess Dress I have is of good quality.

    Federal Government & Union spar over returning to office

    We also went from real laptops to crappy Dell tablets. I think they realized that the tablets were a mistake and are back to issuing laptops.
