What makes you say that?  Bottom feeders like me dont get to hear about these things.  Share!

The same thing was said about Hillier too though and he turned out just fine.  Besides, he was the CLS, vigorously fighting for the army was his job, just as the CMS and CAS would have been doing.

I recently started reading his stuff.  I think he does genuinely care about the troops, however, his crusade against McCrystal has gotten the better of him.  In my assessment, all other considerations are now secondary to this, which is what turned his writing sour, and is now endangering those...

Good point, were doomed!

In my own humble opinion, based on the Generals and Flag Officers available to chose from, Leslie is by far the best choice.  I really hope we dont let something as stupid as uniform color determine the next CDS. If the CDS were merely a symbolic type of position then maybe a case could be made...

MrWicked, I just moved over to the navy after 15 years on the army side.  Though my job is one of the more coushier ones, from what I have observed, and the feedback I have gotten, the navy is a very very tough go.  I miss the green side, way more then I ever thought I would. My personal...

Right now alot of navy trades are hurting for guys, especially the naval ops trades which means that many of these trades are declared red for transfer outs.  This means it can be extremely difficult to acheive an occupational transfer once you are already qualified in said trade.  On the bright...

WARNING: This is a very long post but worth the read for people having troubles. I just finished reading this thread from start to finish and a lot of the advice being provided is, in my opinion off base. Before I begin, prior to joining the regular force I worked in the financial services...

I hit the weight room 3 x per week and do a run 2 x per week, but, im almost certain that the intensity level isnt the same as I would get out of the group atmosphere.  I think I will try the jump in approach at one of the crossfit places and hope nothing breaks!

Guys, holy crap, take a step back and relax.  The original poster did not say anything at all that indicated he had a sense of entitlement or anything else that justifies that backlash.  The guy is keen and wants to be a leader in the CF and just so happens to have the educational requirements...

Ive been taking a close look at crossfit for a while.  Those guys are definitly in much better shape then I am so ive wondered, do I need to get in shape for crossfit, or just jump in.  I asked that question to the crossfit people, they say just jump in but im wondering if thats more to up...

A voluntary reasignment only applies to those who are not yet MOC qualifed.  If you are already MOC qualified its called a voluntary occupational transfer (I think).  Alot of guys will do this in between BMQ and trades training for various reasons.  In my experience the biggest cause has been...

Thats a good point, I just think that the minimum we are acheiving is not good enough and it is extremely frustrating.

I realize this one exchange isnt enough to make that generalization, but, that is just one of many things leading me to that argument.  Im not going to write a huge essay detailing every other bit..  Regardless my opinion still stands, based on my own experience, and the experience of too many...

Im not trying to infer that NCOs are more guilty then officers or any such thing like that.  I was just recalling one exchange that I whitnessed.  Nothing else should be taken from that.

Is this and your STFU comment before really necessary? As for the debate I call bullshit on the getting caught leads to getting charged and sent home argument.  That is where the whole arbitrary problem comes in.  Not everyone who is being caught is facing the diciplinary action that they...

I am not making claims with no grounds, very far from it.  I've had the misfortune of walking in on said inapropriateness more then once while on duty and had to take the appropriate action.  And for other times when I didnt walk in on it, it was reported to me.  Too_often. Its nice to know...

I think its already been proved that these rules don't really effect the situation on the ground.  We all know that people are shagging over there whenever the chance is given.  KAF is not the only place either.  Upon arriving on the west coast I was told our warships are often dubbed as "love...

What about Artillery or Combat Engineers?  They are both combat arms, though I have no idea what their intake status is. As an aside, on the montly reassignment list, all combat arms ncm trades are open for transfer in except for infantry. 

To be fair, I think its the entire Liberal party that is pathetic right now.  It really doesnt matter who the leader is.  They are so fractured and divided among themselves that they will have a hard time uniting around anyone.  In my assessment this is the consequences of establishing policy...
