If we went that way. The politically expedient way to 3.5% is expensive toys for RCAF and RCN that may or may not have any strategic value. CA kit is relatively cheap in comparison, it's costs are more in the pay/benefits for the human workforce.

C6 and C9 are prohibited, you will not learn those on a civilian range. You are also only doing famil shoots, safe handling is the most important. Just go onto the course and learn how they want to teach you. If you take civilian training, you will learn bad habits (or drills incompatible with...

If you're failing PWT 1, I think I know exactly why: Need to get strong enough to hold up the c6 or c9 similar to Call of Duty You potentially lack the physical strength to stabilize the rifle for 45-60 seconds at a time. No amount of shooting training is going to do that. If you are...

I think we're all mature enough to keep the political pot shots in the politics area, or I can just move this thread and lose half the contributors that don't want to go near those sub boards? Back on track.... @brihard other than missiles, I don't think Iran has the means to strike back. As...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer regime. Iran has now entered the FO stage of their nuclear and terror programs.

Good interview with the CDS where she's asked some pretty hard questions:

Locking this one up as I've merged all the recent posts for the actual announcement as we've gone from hinting to a plan to doing.

There is. Past cuts to L101 saw a lot of the contracted staff at DGDS let go. They're allegedly hiring 40 people before the fall and working on implementing a new system that will detect the QC errors before submission (ie: dates not being concurrent) that slow down reviews. CMP mentioned it at...

Basic Signal Officer Course.

As a Sgt? Probably not. Pull up the QS and be prepared to justify where you eligible accomplished every PO. BSOC is a DP1course, they're not going to waive a bunch of requirements for you.

Looks like 12 and it's a joke of an announcement. All the major bases need their barracks ripped down and replaced with modern 1 bdrm apartments to be used as single quarters. Transients stay in Yukon lodges.

So CLDA is the only one that requires an overnight somewhere, the remainder is the same as LDA for us. Can you have a non sea going billet on a ship (not stone frigate)? LDA is either full unit gets it or not.

You don't fix it by punishing the majority. The policy can change, 180 days is too long to wait to pull allowances for those folks. If you're going casual as a change, then it needs to reflect any time spent in the field or at sea, regardless of where you sleep. Working someone on a range till...

OP hasn't returned, gonna lock this up to prevent a dog pile as there is too much information missing to really answer the question. Thanks everyone for your direct and factful replies. - Milnet.ca Staff

Its called a COT if you cannot continue with your trade due to medical circumstances. If your injury is severe enough, you may not even get that option or your trade options will be so small it'd be better to medically release. If you med release, they are vocational rehab benefits that will pay...

Sounds more like a "please show up" bonus, not really linked to performance.

92% of RegF salary with none of the drawbacks or initial training requirements isn't good enough for you? Keep in mind it was only a decade or so ago that it went up from 85%, and the problem isn't fixed. Salary isn't the problem, we're missing solid job protection legislation to cover all...

They get one, it's called their pay.

You get one, it's called post mission leave. It's fairly generous. TLD started in Afghanistan so folks didn't go directly from combat operations to their families 24 hours later. Wholly unnecessary for a Latvia style deployment and just begs for career altering incidents to happen. Have a...

People need to decompress from Latvia? What is it, a 3 day detox from beer and kebabs? What a waste of money.
