So if I read RecceDG's interpretation of the rumours, and yes they are only rumours... This whole thing is really just nothing more than a DRU (with a different name of course)... and a Class B headshed ... and more RSS. Too bad it started out sounding like a solid idea.. now it's a re-package...

Agreed to both. I think that to some degree this stiuation is a manifestation of the old adage "Be careful for what you wish for ... you might just get it". Is not the real issue that the Reserves have argued for an expanded role for so long... finally got it.... only to have the powers that...

One thing here, as a reservist who has had to turn down deployments and courses because of "Civilian" job requirements. The "Job Guarantee" will never work. Never. Never. Never. Never. There are so many ways that a Civilian boss can screw you; and when the civilian job puts the roof over your...

Ref Mr Wallace's Post above, if both sufficient try this link <edit: sorry, your last post slid in under me: both seem sufficent  ;D> I readily admit, based on source, that some readers may find this to be a biased source.To some readers, so what, post yer own source.... <edit again: biased...

Perhaps the role of the CCG is the enforcement of the Fisheries Act (wrt Law Enforcement)? Perhaps another role of the CCG in this regard is to act as 'eyes and ears' for MarCom. In this way suspicious ships can be identified and assets with sufficient defence capabilities can be 'zeroed in' on...

I have not read the book but it is worth noting that the National Post is carrying four excerpts of the book this week. At lunch I read "February 12, 2008" the first instalment of the four. An interesting read, which I suspect is the opening that Baloo refers to above. I will pick up a Post...

The first time I heard of Bloggins was on Basic. Related to me by my Course Warrant one day, many years ago during a break, on the Parade Square, in between one of those interminable Drill Lessons (we used to do). Apparently Bloggins was a no-show to a Basic Training course. Bloggins however...

Maybe the PAffO could help you.... http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/36CBG_HQ/pages/pa_e.html

I think so, but my problem is that when I read the text I get little nuggets out of it like So is he a reservist (in the narrow sense of the word) here? Seems to me there's 'drive-by' happening here. The gentleman is identified as a reservist then the article goes on to talk about his...

Somebody's got to help me with this one. This story has just appeared in the Globe and Mail and I've read it a couple of times but can't make any sense out of it. It seems to me that this good fellow, who is a member of PRes and an MD is returning to Afstan. I am pretty sure, when I read this...

Ack.

Mr Wallace, WADR, what is the source of the news on the convoy? (Not trying to play 'net cop', I'd like to read more.)

Interesting request. Music student eh. Battle of Britain. Battle of the Bulge  .. gotta throw in "Panzerlied" somewhere... That oughtta get things started...

Gawd! you are old! you actually remember when Air Farce was funny....?

Here's one for the 'survivors' have you ever tried to convince your kids that there was actually only two or three TV stations on the dial at one time, and one was French? (And that was in the cities.....) Come to think of it, have you actually ever tried to convince your kids TV's once had...

He calls for immediate hearings? What the heck is SCONDVA for? Hasn't this issue been heard and heard and heard? Or, is it that inserting more fear uncertainty and doubt in the minds of the electorate passes for policy?

Yup. Edward Campbell quotes John Ibbitson; I'm pretty good with that... What I would note is the reference to the verdict not proven. This is of course an interesting artifact of Scottish law that, AFAIK, does not exist in Canadian or American law. It's sort of by 'default' that 'not proven'...

The original article quotes a Dr George Wyatt as counterpoint to Col. Scott. Its interesting to note that, off of Wyatt Health Management's website1, WHM identifies it's profile as My emboldening added for emphasis Now I do not want to accuse Dr Wyatt of doing anything crass here, in fact...

SPLINTER, indeed....milnews I just get so sick of these arguments when I see that Gaza has one of the highest population densities on earth and Egypt, since getting Sinai back from the Israelis has made a pretty penny of developing Sharm al'Shaikh and now Al'Arish.... when instead they could...
