My lack of connectivity has let me catch up and see where this thread was headed. Clearly there is a variety of viewpoints as to the legitimacy of Tim's at KAF. I believe it made sense at that time and circumstance from a leadership, corporate, and morale and welfare perspectives. If I was CDS...

Oh no......  I missed that news story.  I bet Sonny wishes he could turn back time.....(I know, I am going straight to hell).

At this point in my career I need to wear depends when the career manager comes calling....

Great. My therapy is knocked back yet another two months....  I wonder what Sonny is up to?

You are absolutely correct. There are many that stay put. This leads to two interesting offshoot threads. The first is why the system is shocked when they move a sea king tech from Shearwater out west to 443 after 12 years and the family is pissed off and resists. The second is an inherent...

If it made the Cdn public and politicians/PM feel good, then that gives us support (= funding). If you were the CDS, would you have shotdown the idea??

Well done with the 30 minutes!!

I love a good thread. To recap, I am saying that as the theatre matured and the Tim's idea became a rock pushed off a hill, it gathered momentum and there was no stopping it (regardless if it was a good/bad idea). So it happened and I believe it was the right tool at the right time in our AFG...

But unable to follow up with a nationally proven recruiting system.

Watched that episode of MASH where Radar mailed home the jeep piece by piece.  :rofl:

Nice one... :nod:

Be thankful it was not a "non-military grade missle".  ;)

Skeletor has provided a very fair answer. A thesis would be required to afford a better answer. My comment is my usual one when ever anyone opens this door - my daughter will turn 10 this summer in her 6th house and enter grade 5 in her 4th school.  So your opening line is already way off the...

Does anyone care I now have Cher "if I could turn back time" stuck in my head?  Freekin discussion forum....

So clearly you have no morale and welfare experience; leadership experience; corporate experience (meaning the management of DND); or small "P" politics experience.  The Kaf Tim's needs to be put into context - a long term Cdn commitment in which CF personnel were suffering. Canadians loved us...

I am more "athletic supporter" than "athlete", but agree fully with DAA. Good advice as I can do both tests.

Yeah, I'm from Newfoundland. Neither English nor French is my first official language. Just be thankful I can cope with the 24 hr clock.  :rofl:

The 24 hr clock tops out at 2400 which is midnight. You will see 2400 or rarely 0000 hrs. So one minute after midnight is a new day and starts 0001 hrs. So 1230 am is 0030 hrs. 

This is an awesome thread. First off, my most serious poop concern is not being able to hold it in when you deploy and get that amazing case of the shits.  :panic:  but looking back over some 25 yrs of service, all my modesty is long gone (as is a lot of my dignity).  We are all in this together...

Stokerwes:  if your release clk is good, he/she should be able to make some calls. The  H&A system remains broken. I advocate chain of Comd inquiries vice OPI direct even though it is frustrating. Recceguy:  your reply falls into the sad but true category. Why can't we get CDs out on time (we...
