British psychic prediction about PM Trudeau and Communist China influence. You be the judge.

There is a long list major capital projects that the current and future governments must consider in order to modernize the CAF, improve recruiting and perhaps revitalize the domestic defence industry. A new White Paper by the future government will be required which will take into account the...

I've worked in workshops and garages when I was in various units and we always took health and safety seriously. When I got safety qualified I became even more aware how dangerous a workplace can be under normal peace time conditions. I just appalled at how the senior staff can ignore the...

You're assuming or implying that green will no longer be the colour of the new service uniform. It could still be green to retain the Canadian distinctiveness. Maybe it will khaki, tan or some other colour. Some fractions may be opposed to Khaki because it is too militaristic or it...

Like I have written before I sincerely hope that ADM(MAT) and DLR engages a professional designer to help the Army. The replacement DEU has to served a wide variety of functions from ceremony to office work, which have differing and competing needs. There is the environment too, outdoor...

Interesting discussion. I joined the Land Environment, now known as the Army, in the 1978 and I retired in 2021. I was an NCM who made the transition to the dark side - Officer. Since that time I have endured the following service uniforms (I won't mention the field uniforms and kit because...

There are some answers and problems interspersed throughout all the forums regarding Canada defending the North. This question was posed and studied when the CAF had CANADA COMMAND (CANCOM) and CANADIAN OPERATIONS SUPPORT COMMAND (CANOSCOM). Numerous were produced and presented to the higher...

CAF Logistics Officer I would suggest that you go to the Canadian Armed Forces Recruiting site to learn more about being a Logistics Officer or Health Care Administrator. I spent over 37 years in the CAF and majority of time was as an Army Logistics Officer specializing in Transportation...

What it takes to make Conservative Party a contender again Interesting podcast on the National Post today with an interview with Ms. Tasha Kheiriddin, who once considered running for the leadership of the CPC. The topic was "What it takes to make the Conservative Party a contender again." I...

I am presuming that you are a civilian. I would suggest that you contact the Royal Canadian Logistics Service (RCLS) Association Branch nearest you. Perhaps they can get you in contact with the RCLS Historian. Or you may try to contact the Canadian Forces Logistics Museum. Please note that...

The Public Services and Procurement Canada website for the Future Fighter Capability Project has now been updated to reflect that the GOC has entered the final phase of the procurement process with the US Gov't and Lockheed Martin. The earliest delivery date is 2025. I wonder when we might...

ADM(MAT) only buys equipment for the Environments but it doesn't decide the requirements. The user (RCN/CA/RCAF/Joint decides on what it needs and when. Besided on the information given by the user and in consulation with the user, ADM(MAT) decides and implements the procurement strategy. As...

The Log Br went RCLS just when I was on the way out. I still think in terms of the Br and not RCLS. Cheers

When I was much younger and naive I thought how wonderful it would be if the Log Br would split up and come under the respective environments (Services) again. Many, many years later and in talking with my fellow Loggies from all environments, we agree, the Br ain't perfect but it works...

I was being facetious, but .... I am left handed and the world has been against me. The FNC1 ejected empty cartridges on the right which meant I suffered from having the occasional hot casing in my face. The CAF only buy scissors for right handed people. I hope that the new black hat is...

Actually the BN will need to at least incl the fol: historical background of the RCN wearing the black hat - prove tradition. when you should wear this? Winter only? On ship only? how the morale of RCN will dramatically improve and will attract % more recruits to the RCN - to justify the...

In the last election, O'Toole published a platform that I thought was reasonable, well presented and sustainable. Unfortunately he shot himself in the foot by changing positions during the campaign and the message became muddled and confusing.

I'm not a political scientist and to be honest I don't earnestly follow the minutiae details of Cdn politics. From what little that I know or think that I understand, I do have the following questions: How/when to did the CPC moved further to the right of the political spectrum? Are they out of...

There is a reliable source (sarcasm / humour), a renown British psychic who made many predictions about Canada for 2022. Some major highlights : PM Trudeau will face a serious scandal regarding Chinese influence / money in the 2021 election. Received kick backs. 2:33 Doug Ford will rise in...

I recently retired from the CAF with over 35 years. Unfortunately for me, I can relate to these stories. We can agree that : only a mental health professional can accurately diagnosis what this phantom honking is and whether people are suffering from a mental injury. As a corollary...
