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

    hmmm - more than I will get after almost 42 years of CAF. Maybe I should have went into politics instead.

    Canadian Combat Action Badge - Now A Dead Idea (Merged Threads)

    Have to make it mandatory dress for them. I need another good laugh. Would most likely be easier to deal with than the stupid SSM when it came out. Biggest pain to deal with as all these officers came in crying about their calculations. I learned to keep a sheet on my computer to show...

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

    That is the real reason she quit on him. Trying to make distance between them hoping everyone forgets how up his she was and hopefully vote her in.

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

    of course but who really thinks he would care? He knows he is done, most likely views the party as a bunch of traitors so why not drag them to the lowest depths possible? It's not going to hurt him any. More likely in his mind it would be him teaching them a lesson not to mess with him.

    Driver and Wheel course

    My guess would be 12 to 15 weekends assuming it is still a one month course. Personally having done the course full time and instructed many years ago on a weekend course I would recommend if you can to do the full time one. Full time was on base and we gained a lot more field driving...

    Canadian Combat Action Badge - Now A Dead Idea (Merged Threads)

    Oh please let them be approved. I want to see all the army here wearing those things. Make them at least 3 inches in size so they stand out.

    King Charles III Coronation Medal

    Have to say I am pleased that both my sections JRs that we nominated received it. Considering what they went through at their prior postings it is nice to be able to reinforce to them that at least some of us recognize them for their hard work.

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

    Ok, am I the only one that thinks it would be funny if after going through all the work voting for a new party leader Trudeau then says, "Sorry, I don't like that option and have decided not to resign". After all, he hasn't actually resigned and can't be forced out. He has only stated his...

    Special Service Medal - Domestic Operations Bar

    It also doesn't do the medal that is under discussion either. Changes can be made. With the number of DOMOPs a person could go on would bars make sense as some members would have too many for one medal to hold. https://www.cfc.forces.gc.ca/259/290/49/305/MacDonald.pdf from 2010 to 2016...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    We are talking about politicians. I can see a benefit in saying it then backing off. Put it out there, see the reaction, oops, after a sobering rethink with input of new information from various parties we have decided not to proceed. Shows the public they are able to admit mistakes and...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Hopefully they won't be dumb enough to carry through with the plan. I would disagree with the "10% of the population will not want to join" though. Even when it was a chargeable offence in the CAF we were lucky enough to have members join and take a chance. A few of us even risked the...

    No to the bars. Give a number for how many domops the member has participated in.

    Special Service Medal - Domestic Operations Bar

    and in the early 2000's - Hurricane Juan and White Juan White Juan - Wikipedia I did note that the article there doesn't mention the military aid provided for both. SWISS Air was purely a search and body parts recovery effort with the Navy mainly searching the waters and a fair number of...

    Renaming of MedTech and MedA

    It would be nice if the military paid for NCMs to maintain their licence instead of just the officers. Seems it is something that would be of benefit all around.

    Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

    That sounds like the service we have received from CP on occasions. My wife even confronted the mailman one day as he walked up to the door to stick the notice on the door indicating no one was home and the parcel had to be picked up at the post office. He was a bit surprised when she opened...

    Hmmm maybe 2029 is too optimistic. and 6 years isn't long enough to negotiate a contract.
