Just wait and see what'll happen if some the rumours floating around the higher atmosphere come to be. MP battalions in each of the areas with a LCol as a CO, 2 Coy's one "police" and one "field". The idea is that Res MP O's can be the DCO or the "field" Coy commander. Personally I think that...

PBI, Jumper. I and some others have been saying this is the way to go for quite some time. The way I see our trade going now and the proposed changes will see us become more of a "auxiliary" force or cadet program. This isn't what I joined for. Force Protection is our gig. Should we get out of...

To take this out of the stars to a more terrestrial level....who'd win a tug of war.....monkeys or midgets?

Not a bad ex...First time out on as an Officer...big change...learning not to like the CP. One thing I'd change is the colours assigned the MPPl. REDI can't believe how many times my CO was stopped due to his red pennant issued from 3LBG. Now I know this was an oversight..it can't be a...

ESFP 16 yrs MP

I can try to shed some light here. About 10 years ago around the time of the Dixon report there was a concentrated effort to improve the policing skills of the branch...Big P Little m. The actual war fighting skills were not the big priority and they haven't been. There is a new awareness now...

As one of the Meatheads at the Ex last year...and every incarnation since the MilCon days...none of my lads had timmies. And if PPCLI Guy had had to deal with them it would have been after me. We were tactical the same as everyone else...the only thing is we drive to our objectives. No cots for...

You are a scouser, A ugly scouser, You're only happy on giro day, Your mum's out stealing, Your dad's drug dealing, Please don't take our hub caps away. Sign on, sign on, With a pen in your hand and you'll never get a job. Hotspurs!!!

Best bet..if there's a CFB anywhere around just ask the local detachment. One of the western boys could probably give a more specific location. Good hunting.

Actually it's a formal course. In order for all pers to be avail for SG05 ARC 05 had to end at a certain date. To facilitate this it is the units responsibility to make sure that all SHARP trg is done 11 pdes I think, 28 pdes of First Aid and 18 or so of Drill w/o Arms. If this isn't done troops...

I don't and someone correct me if I'm wrong..but the whole point of the EU was to facilitate trade and get rid of cross border tariffs was it not? as for as I know the thing wasn't to create a super Europe. Has the UK signed? Part of me thinks this is France giving a collective gallic shrug to...

I'm pretty sure..but now am feeling like someone called BS on me. I know a few years ago this was the case and while at the centre of excellence last year the PM referred to that very thing. Time for me to check some stuff out.

Or suitable experience....a 10yr infmn who wants to OT into the branch doesn't necessarily need the L&S diploma. (for example) On another note well done on us getting our own sub forum. Big thanks to MP 0061 and to Mike  :salute:

You can't blame them...things happen when drunk :blotto:

Brilliant! This is something I can get behind and I know a lot of others who think the way I do. This sounds a lot like what I've been having debates/arguments/drag down fights with at the acadamy. Where it has been said that training for anything but police roles was digressing and archaic...

Sorry, When I was talking about the Res Coys it was a poorly worded attempt to point out the differences in our trg. As we have no police role ( you and I have talked about this) the only real trg that we did and continue to do is all of the "warfighting". Are the Pls doing this...probably but...

OK, I'll toss my hat into this one. DEFINATLY we should should have a higher focus on our warfighting capabilities. But unfourtunatly this is not the direction we want to. You would have to look to the res Coys to see any real level of trg for this type of task. We are moving more in synch with...

Well it's happened. Just crossed over to the dark side effective 31 Mar. It's going to be a huge change in how I approach things now. I think the hardest thing will be not jumping in and letting the NCO's do their thing (even if IMHO I can do it better). On the plus side I know that this board...

So Kevin does that mean you don't want some flashy gong to commemerate doing the TEAL conf in Ottawa...you know hanging out at the hotel downtown...serious libations every night and inspections each morning.? Cheers

I don't know about this...as Boss made reference to some of the craziest times I've had was dealing with all 3 confrontations with Natives. Do I want medals? Haven't thought about it. Could it be a moral issue some sort of tangable "attaboy". I was talking to guy I worked with overseas and he...
