    Brad/Chelsea Manning: Charged w/AFG file leak, Cdn angles, disposition (merged)

    Why not? it worked for Bruce Jenner and his car crash. Kids these days probably get the idea from the 80% sentencing disparity between men and women across the west for the same crimes.

    2018 Ontario General Election

    Your assertion is reasonable and logical; too bad Ontario Voters are not. Just the promise of a $15/hour minimum wage has bought a lot of immovable support. But can you counter any of my points, besides to say that I am wrong?

    Intelligence Officer / Operator

    Man, glad I held off on my VOT schemes; I got my offer and my CT to INT Op is going through. Now that I have my message, could anyone tell me where they are posting Int Ops after course? Thank you for your time.

    In Praise of Failure

    When I trained troops, the type-A high achievers always stood out, mainly when I told them they weren't good enough; often they melted down on me. A life of easy wins and excelling in the school system had ill-prepared them for tasks and skills that sometimes you needed to do wrong, before you...

    2018 Ontario General Election

    The PCs are a dead letter in the coming election. Unless and until they get a leader to make them more than a second-best liberal party, they don't have a chance in hell. Pat Brown has been an utter failure, yes, but he was preceded by failures as well. The party needs to purify itself, come...

    Intelligence Officer / Operator

    Odd would be an understatement. And no; I have a degree in military science (cross-disciplinary). So I wrote tons of good essays, but I never saw one single additional word of Margaret Atwood or Shakespeare ever again.

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    The CT people I was in touch with. I just got a different email, asked them and I have now been in touch with my file manager for the trade. She mentioned a random vital bit of info they will be looking at, that would have been great to know any time up until yesterday. Stuff like this is why I...

    Intelligence Officer / Operator

    New question; why in the hell would my grade 11 English mark be of sudden importance to the Intelligence trade?! Of all the random things; I am a university graduate (BA SocSci/Military Science) WTF do they care about HIGHSCHOOL ENGLISH for? More importantly, does anyone know what threshold...

    Intelligence Officer / Operator

    So, how would that be for a choice for "Get in the trade, get the course, begin career progression?" I had understood INT to be near totally purple.

    What, if any are the differences between NAVRES INT OP and other PRES INT OP?

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    When I first asked about VR/re-enlist I was told 100% DO NOT DO IT; INT does not take people off the street. I know now the second part was a lie. More recently what I was told was that if I VR, there is aone-year cooling off period before you can re-enlist and you take your chances. Broker is...

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    I've had my CT In for four years now (INT O, then added INT OP two years ago) Res to Reg. I have never had a phonecall. I have never had a real interview. The only thing I get without hounding are emails when the trade closes. My "Case Manager" I am informed is my Chief Clerk... My...

    "Canadian Forces warns members affiliated with radical groups"

    Just a few points, but first a big thank you to everyone who posted; this thread has been an excellent source of "One stop shopping" with all the links and references needed to understand just what the hell went on here. Looks like another example of what defeat looks like and with some clues...

    Dear Canada; an article we should all read and consider.

    Killer comeback vs a real argument, buds. Adblock. It's your friend. Clock is ticking; kind of the point.

    Dear Canada; an article we should all read and consider.

    Actually, what he says is that the quote is "Attributed" to the PM and has it in parenthesis. He then goes on (in the footnote, where it belongs) to explain that to his knowledge the PM never said that, as he should admit; but as he's said some pretty remarkable things, it doesn't seem that far...

    Why does Recce wear black toque's?

    Of you want; they saw the Force Recon guys in Generation Kill do it and thought it looked cool.

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    I'd like to know why, when I go on the recruiting site, it says a trade (int) is open, but the only thing I ever hear on my CT is when it's closed again and how many years the wait is up to now?

    Dear Canada; an article we should all read and consider.

    And where do you put your footnotes? On the forehead? Admittedly; yeah I prefer a margin-format for notes like this so they go where they are near the point (Like an MLP) and technology allows coding to bring up the note when you hover the cursor over the item in question. But the host doesn't...

    Dear Canada; an article we should all read and consider.

    http://www.everyjoe.com/2017/03/13/politics/kill-enemies-win/#1 Before you slam it as nonsense; take a look at the man's credentials and his other work. Personally; I feel like the writing is on the wall, but I'd love to hear what other people think.

    Help! My Class-B is being eliminated in favour of civilians!

    Thanks, I am looking at everything right now. Getting seriously cold-shouldered from employment ontario.
