Same for me.  6 weeks from the time I walked in the door to enquire about joining to the day I was on the train to Cornwallis. 

The construction is on schedule and the first course is to start there later this summer.  Just last week I read a Facebook post about how the monument is being moved to the new Academy along with a large amount of the dirt that was around it since it was the site of the scattering of ashes for...

I didn't think they would have the money to buy all the ammo after buying so many FEMA coffins.

I was in a meeting with the TpT HQ types and was informed that eventually the hope is that CAF members will not have to obtain civilian drivers licenses and can eventually drive seamlessly in Canada with only their 404s.  Seems like a good idea to me since I fail to see why it can't be accepted...

Perhaps Target Canada is a better comparison.  Pun intended.  ::)

Boohoo.  You signed a contract, live up to it.  If its all that important for you to leave then help us to improve the Branch you hate so much, put your release in and get out so you can take one of these other jobs.  Its as simple as that.  I know I'd appreciate it if you did.

Blackadder captured much of it and one other point I wanted to add is that MP Officers need to be badged MPs from not only a legal point of view but also from a liaison point of view.  MP officers are called upon to make law enforcement decisions which impact policies, operations, charges...

We already tried that a number of years back.  Each officer who graduated his/her MPOC would be sent to an NIS Det or guardhouse for 6 months before they took up their first posting.  It was eventually stopped for a number of reasons including, among others: there not being enough busy...

I see your point but I still don't see it as an issue. A criminal record is only generated for convictions related to certain offences tried by CM and one system exists in Canada to apply to clear such convictions regardless of the Act that was violated or the mechanism by which the individual...

On the one hand it shouldn't be much of an issue since they don't do much in the way of police work anyway.  They are mainly administrators and the badge is required for various legal and administrative reasons.  They do get more actual police training now on the MPOC then they did when I first...

If its an annual event then the politicians no doubt know about it and the excuse that its a "low key affair" doesn't wash with me when you take into account the events of the last year.  I subscribe to the PMs newsletter and I usually get something in my email every day or so.  Most of the...

"reports are then scrutinized by people that had minimal time on the road and minimal real policing experience".  Really?  I am one of those you speak of and I'd put my 11 years on the road plus 9 years of Invest/CFNIS experience up against yours any day.  Reports get reviewed and approved in...

In the case of the CAF, after a CM the MPs are notified of the conviction and it's entered in the MP reporting database.  A notice is then sent to the MP National Records Center who post the info about the conviction and sentence to CPIC.  They also enter any info required in the national sex...

Negative.  The only convictions that go on CPIC are those through CM for the noted offences.  If the member has the option to elect CM and they choose to do so then they ride that risk.  Personally, if I knew I was guilty and had the option to elect then I'd take my chances with a commander to...

:salute:

So I guess National Defence Headquarters is not really a HQ since they store their assets, including troops, all across Canada and to a lesser degree, around the world.

The question normally asked is something along the lines of "Have you ever been convicted of an offence for which a pardon has not been granted" and it refers to any conviction that gets entered onto CPIC.  By your rational anyone who has ever challenged a speeding or seatbelt ticket would need...

By all means, speak up and express your preference to your chain of command but just make sure you do it properly (ie: respectfully and provide your reasons).  At the same time though, as others have stated, its the Units decision how to employ their people and you may have no choice but to...

I spent two years overseas at one of our Embassies and I had access to all sorts of discounts and duty free entitlements.  I wasn't even a diplomat either.  I don't think any of these "programs" are much different from what Cdn service members get to take advantage of while out of the country in...

Its everyone's right to grieve something if they feel they have grounds and I'd encourage you to take whatever action you deem necessary.  I have no problem with that whatsoever but as a part of my Unit's command team I do have a problem with people who cannot be upfront about it.  The actual...
