There's a saying that a Japanese craftsman would build a box by hammering in nails with a rock, because that's what their ancestors did for thousands of years. Show them a hammer, then come back in a few years and the craftsman will have designed a robot to hammer in nails. I'm not remembering...

If someone's belief is so shallow that simply not hearing 'the words' on the odd occasion harms them, that's a them problem. Again, just like freedom of religion, it cuts both ways.

All I could find on religion in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms was this: "Under section 2 of the Charter, Canadians are free to follow the religion of their choice. In addition, they are guaranteed freedom of thought, belief and expression. Since the media are an important means for...

Are smudging or other religious practices integrated with common military practices enjoyed by everyone? If so, yes, they shouldn't be included in public activities. It's a mistake to look at it as a "they have their thing so I want mine" issue, you should view it as a "people have a right not...

Freedom of religion requires freedom from religion.

The great thing about the military is that it's a guaranteed job once you graduate. I did my undergrad at Carleton and the only program I can think of with really high employment after graduation is engineering. Their engineering program is top notch, rest of the programs are probably on par...

Just finished the last of my shopping today, I think I'm all set to leave. Going to get everything together over the weekend to make sure I haven't forgot anything and any of my paperwork. I'm definitely going to be getting a few jabs, hopefully they believe I had chicken pox as a child and...

We're starting at the same time, also BMOQ so might be in the same group. I'll see you there!

I have experience seeing how E&Y and Deloitte shill their services and perform recommendations around strategic direction and M&A in emerging industries. They essentially take whatever research is readily available and combine it with their personal flavor of financial modeling to make...

A big problem is Canadians aren't as entrepreneurial as people in the USA, we're generally more risk adverse. Our government also does a poorer job of fostering research in industry and supporting small businesses in emerging sectors (through policy or grants). In biotech and tech sectors, when...

Thank you @Happy Guy and @MJP for the information! It's great to get all of this from people working as logistics officers because I would never have found it outside of the forum (especially finding out it's not a straight shot to Movements Officer right after training). I'll definitely drop a...

Thanks for the response! If given the choice I'd love to join 2AMS. L.Col Demers', current commander of 2AMS, masters thesis was my introduction to logistics in the CAF. It sparked my interest in becoming a Logistics Officer so hopefully there's a spot open. I have some background in logistics...

You're looking at reserve pay for days worked, reg force starts at $3492/month for private. You also get better benefits, pension, job security, a cap on what you can be charged for rent at CAF/DND facilities and cheap meals compared to McDonalds.

I just had my interview for LogO (air) and forgot to ask my MCC about specializing, since it never came up. I'm wondering how much input I have into the specialty stream I'm pushed down and when I'm either informed or given the option to choose a specialty (transport, supply, fianance, etc.). I...
