To disagree with what the earlier poster said, the VRP is about assisting you with a new career in a chosen field that is suitable for your physical and mental ablities AND has a reasonable chance of improving your abilities to find employment in a chosen occupational field; it is not restricted...

There is also the possibility that it ws stolen and that the crime was never detected. 

For whom is the PLAR for - RMC?  University? Other organization?  Time and expectations differ depending on who it is... Oh and BTW,  its supposed to be Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition - unless the CF has recently created their own definition of PLAR?

If all women were as mentally and physically strong as ArmyVern (or as she is reputed to be anyway, Ive never met her and cant confirm it), this wouldnt be a significant problem, but unfortunately they arent. Attacks on single women travelling alone at night have always been a problem, going...

And yes, I agree with George here, this type of talk tends to propogate the myth that your average CF NCM is a by-blow squaddie trying to ape their betters...

However, very very few of our elected officials or even their advisors actually know what they are talking about when it comes to National Security Strategy.  They are however very good at knowing what size of a military will make our allied commitments happy and at the same time not upset the...

You know your papers, thanks for the update!

Local officials said they believed the incident was not premeditated, but had arisen out of "a misunderstanding". Thats one hell of a 'misunderstanding'.  I think local officials are the ones having a misunderstanding...

Its a sad standard for journalists today when all you have to do to get an article printed in the newspaper is repeat what the anti-war factions have been saying for the last 20 years.  I thought the point of a newspaper was to repeat 'news', as in new things and new ideas.  In the end this...

All of your suggestions, and even most of the suggestions, throughout the thread make sense - if you are a current or former serving member of the CF or LEO.  Women, in general, dont think like this; its not just 20 year old girlfriends we're discussing, but also 30+ professional career women...

'The problem' isnt getting the nations unwashed unemployed into a uniform - its that those of 'higher' education think that all of us who are (or were) already employed in the current CF are equally unskilled, unschooled, and unsuccessful, thus the nations unemployed masses would fit right in...

Thats pretty much the key to any debate - do you suggest they just act submissive? 

From Part 4: Minority Groups Increasingly Referred to as Parasites "Does he believe in the theory put forward by economists in the English-speaking world, who say that democracy in impoverished countries can lead to a rise in political violence?" Its not just an economic theory - its also...

Reads like the whole piece was just in reaction to one sentence spoken by an MP.  I think he missed the whole point.  That journalists risk their life and suffer the consequences is a fact, but so is the fact that most of them have little good to say about the CF or the work being done over...

It all sounded good until he said that the expanded forces should draw from the ranks of the unemployed.  While there are willing workers in the unemployment line, I dont believe that the vast majority of them are suitable for military service.

Ive worked with them but there are several others here with more experience.  You can check their status and see when was the last time they posted. 

There's a long history of it being an unhygienic practice according to the old joke: "look under ma kilt, its grue-some; look again, its grue-some more"

Like the old saying: "You can lead a horse to water  - but you cant make him drink"

And too expensive.  Im sure there are all sorts of other good arguments against it. Im not talking about full immersion lasting a year - even two weeks training time during basic and another two weeks during the first year of service would be a good start.  Apparently many of our...

Its not really that funny; far too many dangerous organizations have been started by persons who failed their attempt at being a soldier or policeman (or were kicked out), and got their revenge by starting their own organizations (only for the public good, and with themselves in the driver seat...
