I wouldn't stress too much about it. A medical doctor may be able to give more insight, but I think others are probably correct that due to the stress and exhaustion of training you are much less likely to experience this while on course. It never happened to me during any of my training (Phase...

Has anyone heard of any plans or timelines for re-opening the recruiting centres for interviews? I haven't been able to find anything anywhere online. I understand recruiting HQ is in Ontario, and I believe all of Ontario is now in Phase 2 after Toronto and Hamilton regions were put into...

Agreed and also correct in law. Racial profiling is expressly prohibited as a reason for stopping/detaining people in Canada. But that's not what happened here. Chief Adam was legitimately stopped because his license plate had been expired for 10 months. That's not stopping someone because of...

No one even alleges that the stop was invalid. People get pulled over all the time for driving with an expired license plate, and issued a traffic ticket. Given that apparently his plate had been expired for ten months, it's reasonable to believe that he's been pulled over a number of times for...

Did you watch the whole video? Because if you watch from the beginning, the chief is berating the the first officer, takes off his jacket and angrily throws it to the ground and challenges the officer to fight, taking up a clear fighting stance. He repeatedly tried to provoke the officer and...

I agree with you that "Plan C" seems like the best option. Less reliance on broad-band communications (which would likely be interfered with to some extent on any battlefield) plus also the enemy has to take out every single tank to stop them fighting versus just taking out the command tank with...

I find it interesting that in the U.S. a judge even has the power to refuse to allow prosecutors to withdraw their case. In Canada, that is 100% in the discretion of the Crown. If they withdraw the prosecution, there's nothing the judge can do about it whether s/he likes it or not.

I agree with this, and I admit that with Prime Minister Trudeau I have found it extremely difficult to live up to my own standards/beliefs and have slipped in this regard. Picked up my only warning point on this site (thus far) for expressing an opinion in unguarded terms on my view of his...

I've scoured this thread and did not see this topic come up. Probably because it is a non-issue, but I want to be 100% sure and under current circumstances it takes 1-2 weeks to receive a reply from my file manager, so while I'm waiting (I asked her this question too), I wanted to bounce it off...

Just crunching the numbers on your examples ... New York State - population 19.45 million - 29,917 COVID-19 deaths (as of 29 May) - 0.0015 % / 153.8 per 100,000 people North Dakota - population 762,062 - 61 COVID-19 deaths - 0.00008% / 8.02 per 100,000 people California - population 39.5...

I see a distinction between legitimate protests and riots where police stations and churches get burnt down. The former have been happening all over the US and even in other countries. The latter seem to be concentrated in what I've termed "blue states", i.e. very strongly Democrat and always...

What you say seems to match up with what my friends in the U.S.A. say. Of course, one could say that their views are coloured by the fact that they're mostly mid-westerners and are more conservative types to begin with, but it is a fact that all of the riots etc. are happening in "blue states"...

I was a bit skeptical that this guy was "gilding the Lilley" a little but it seemed a weird thing to make up. Maybe he was going to be going on workup training for deployment or something.

So I take it that anyone new/being issued uniform for the first time is going to be given the new stuff then?

Just out of curiosity I was wondering how many people now have the new CADPAT? The pics I've seen in news articles recently of CAF members deployed OP LASER and they all appear to be wearing the old/all green CADPAT. But then I was talking to a guy who is a reservist in a city not far from where...

That's what I understood ... hence my confusion at RomeoJuliet's post.

What are CIC cadet uniforms? Don't CIC have to wear what they are issued? With the only addition being approved formation badges, name plates, or rank slip-ons if those haven't been issued yet but can be purchased from CANEX?

It appears that there is now a command badge out for CIC ... I was watching the virtual ACR for 75 Barrhaven and BGen Cochrane gave a speech. He was wearing the command patch on his uniform and even gestured to it and mentioned "the new badge which I'm sure you have all seen online". I frankly...

Just anecdotally, it would seem that applications are not halted, but it may depend on what stage of the process you are in. I did my medical in January, and since I am 40 years old, I had to get some further tests from my primary care physician and a letter from him saying I am fit for...

Thanks! There's a bit of persevering yet to do, but there does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel.
