Newsworld just ran a piece about NATO being too risk averse, and that our failures in Kandahar are largely due to our refusal to accept new US counter-insurgency doctrine which demands large amounts of troops out amongst the people; reductions in armoured convoys, etc.  Less force, more risk...

They did a few years ago, though it may have changed now.

Just curious - how was the data used? And what about negative experiences? :)

Try searching BMOQ.  Apparently that is a "new name" I've seen thrown around recently.

Either way, you are certainly doing a bang-up job of proving your original point. (See title).

Thanks to all for the comments so far.  I'm taking notes and reading. I just want to clarify - my topic is in no way an attack or deep questioning of how I was ever treated or informed by the military - instead I was thinking about this and had some interesting civilian discussions recently...

I've often heard comments such as "Its the military way" or "That's how its done in the military" or "Thousands of people have been doing it before you, and will continue on doing it long after you've left"... etc... as reasoning/arguments against strong incremental or dramatic change within the...

Well, I'm not sure I would go that far. I wasn't on your IAP, but I can attest that quite a few of the RMC colleagues I was with during my IAP WERE there for the free education.  Or the free pilot training.  Of course, there were many who were there for the right reasons as well.  Cest la vie...

The PT test was removed from the Reserve World?

I know that on my two trips to Cuba,  (a place very popular with Quebec tourists), the locals often mentioned to me that they did not appreciate a lot of the attitudes the Quebecers brought with them.   I frequently heard complaints that there was no signage in French, and that the staff did not...

One could reasonably argue that Bill 101 and the recent Reasonable Accomodations hearings would demonstrate that Quebec forcibly discriminates against languages and cultures other than Quebec Francophonie.  If you've worked here and ever suffered through an OLF audit, you'll know what i mean...

And thus the confusion continues....  it seems this situaiton seems to occur in SOME cases, and in others, people report being comissioned only AFTER Phase IV/MOC Qualified.  This is also what the CFRC states, though in person they seem much less certain of this. As you can imagine... two years...

Corrected, Vern!

Close friend of mine is a Course Officer/Plt Comd right now at Meaford, and he has mentioned several times he has Army RMS-types on his 4-week SQ courses.  Apparently all of his candidates are non-combat-arms, and the courses last 4 weeks. [Edited to add:  He only had Land Element uniformed...

Oh... DIN only. gotcha.

This one? http://www.forces.ca/v3/engraph/jobs/careermatcher_en.aspx?bhcp=1

Look at it from the civilian perspective: I hired you, basically entry level, off the street, for an important entry-level managerial job, on the basis of some recommendations and your educational background. You messed up.  Royally.  I gave you several warnings, you continued to mess up.  You...

Gotcha, thanks AV.
