I'm confused.  Being bilingual is a requirement for officers that wish to be Major and above.  How can they cut this out if it is a requirement?

Sorry to revive a dead thread! :-\ Can anybody email a copy of the joining instructions for CAP? PM for email if you can. Thanks in advance

You are usually put on PAT platoon (Personnel Awaiting Training) while you are awaiting a course.  You will usually be put on this platoon at the location of your next course.  Once you are in the forces, you have to understand that you get your annual leave and that is it.  Of course, you can...

Thanks Roy! Already sitting down with an ice cold MGD as we speak!

Hey Guys, I wrote Monday afternoon, but I meant Tuesday afternoon.  Sorry about that. I am pleased to announce that with all the help you guys gave me, I not only won the debate, but I think was also able to get my peers thinking more critically about the mission in Afghanistan.  It was easy...

I can help you with some of the questions. 1.  You are employed by the CF on the first day of your BMQ and are therefore getting paid.  I think what you are asking is if after your MOC training, will you be eligible for deployment.  In a nutshell, the simple answer is no.  You will have to do...

You haven't even started IAP yet...Do YOU really know?  I don't mean to sound critical, but you will see that depending on what trade you go in, running isn't necessarily a SUPER necessity.  While a person will still be expected to complete the CF EXPRES TEST annually, in some trades, they are...

Great to hear!  You should definately write that letter, if not to just show that not all parts of the newspaper (editorials) are against the war (take with a grain of salt)!

Unofficially, I've been told that swimming is one of the highest intensity, yet low impact, exercises you can do. Another low impact exercise would be an elliptical machine or a bike trainer.  It seems your injury is caused by a repetitious pounding, therefore any exercise that stops that...

At least Mr. O'Connor was proactive in remedying the problem.  I wasn't sure just how the outcome of this mix up would be, however I think that the action Mr. O'Connor did makes it harder for the media to bash him and the CF.  Key word: Harder...

Not so much the CF's responsibility, but one could make the argument that it is the International communities.  If our purpose is to provide support and stability to Afghanistan while they rebuild and construct a strong government, then one could easily argue that it is up to International...

To furthur this, just look at the geographical regions that they surveyed.  They stuck to the struggling regions, and not the other 29 provinces that are becoming increasingly more stable.

Oh haha! I should have seen that.  I guess my brain is overloaded right now trying to get stuff for a debate. *Shakes head at own self*

Does anybody have a more official source of where that came from?  I would really like to use it for my debate just as added flavour, but need a more official source to document it with. Thanks in advance

So...10:22am and what does the Civy U student get awoken by?  ..........By his roommates with a warm pint of Guinness and a funnel!! :-\ No need for breakfast this morning I guess, just got my liquid meal. Just a side note, I was invited to a special sort of kegger today.  I found it...

WOW Guys!  I can't thank you enough for all the help, I really was not expecting this much support (I know you would have supported me, but not gone out of your way to dig up facts and materials for me). What I have done is taken the points I feel would most strongly persuade average Canadians...

Thanks again Roy... You have been a huge help in putting this all together.  I'm in the middle of doing research to counteract these arguments.  The biggest mistake this source makes is saying that there has been NO improvement in women's rights.  It's easily proven that this is not the case...

No, unfortunately it was only 1/2 hour long...

How would one counter-argue these statements (much of the oppositions material is from this resource). http://acp-cpa.ca/en/M172007.htm In Afghanistan In Afghanistan, a country which was already ravaged by 30 years of war, the situation is also very bleak after more than five years of...

It's not a parliamentary style debate.  Regardless, the judge is the professor.  What can I say other than most academics have narrow minded views when it comes to things like war.  I don't care about winning so much (albeit I would like to win haha), I just want to drive home some facts and...
