That sounds like a good start for overt measures.

During training, (BMQ/BMOQ which most likely will be on wknds) you don't need to participate in unit exercises - it is pretty much up to you. Once your training is complete, the is minimum attendance plicy - which as an officer will not make you an effective member of the unit (1 day a month...

Gents, need an answer but don't have DWAN until later in the week. What is the delta between BMQ and BMOQ?  (what mods, etc.) Is that delta offered as a distinct course? Who runs these? Local BSL, Div/region or national? Would a reservist be able to jump into a reg BMOQ for that portion...

good

I don't think he was saying that at all:

Will she or will she not sail again?  or should she? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/hmcs-athabaskan-sent-back-to-halifax-for-major-engine-repairs-1.3160864

Yes but (off topic but) the confusion lasted until about 1030hrs when all the calls/reports of other shooters/accomplices were looked into and xref. It still boggles the mind that after hearing shots no more than 150m away, a person with a long firearm could drive around the war memorial, park...

Wow, two years from application to starting course? Good luck. Chimo!

I don't think that your scenario is outlandish at all. That is exactly what happened on Oct 22 except for the shooting everywhere - which is not a big jump in assumptions if many less trained ppl had ccw and saw an UC guy with a gun running down the street. Most of you know that the brain...

I think the Army does try to stick to clear language - at least some Sr officers do. The problem, IMHO, is that to get further up, through staff college or other masters/phd program, we get in bed with academics and start practising their self reverential stile of writing (mirror to see yourself...

any word on the dates for the Pet Ironman this year?

Wonder what will emerge after this. Shared article: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/gun-maker-colt-defense-files-for-bankruptcy-protection-in-u-s-1.3113541

delayed spending as part of our contribution to balance the budget ;-)

exactly, and that hasn't changed since 89. Maybe add a couple of days for recognition of UXO. That can even be covered in-house at the units.

Bottom line is that at this rate, with all the budget pressures, lack of equipment, lack of courses, unwillingness to let the units conduct courses and qualify ppl on the deltas from the reg force trg, in a few years time, the Army Reserves will be irrelevant. Yes, you can sit in a classroom and...

now that is freaking ridiculous; pretty soon the only trg they'll receive is the tools package - pres units will be pick and shovel sqns...

exactly.

I disagree on this a bit. Some, not most, of the cadets do exude this sense of elitism. A small minority but enough to taint the rest untel they get to be known at the new unit. I know, I went there but as a UTPNCM so somewhat detached pov. BINGO!  but you forgot to mention the role of the...
