Synergy - sum of the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts.  The point being that battles are won by the team, not the individual. I've been in long enough to know what you wear on your chest gives you about 5 seconds of credibility.  As soon as you open your mouth, you either...

I'm not so sure.  Why does the soldier have to boot in the door of the house, can't he just knock?  ;)

Geo and Recceguy, well said. 

Ack.  Professional Organization: Alberta Association of Registered Nurses http://www.nurses.ab.ca/ Union United Nurses of Alberta http://www.una.ab.ca/

I think that is why I added the caveat "someone brighter then me can give you the exact answer".  But thanks for going out of your way to point out what I already had.  I would submit to you that a nurse must belong to a union in order to work.  The nurses union acts as their professional body...

There is always an exception to the rule.  Mind you, why would any sane person go to Shearwater?  ;)

Spartan, no it is not akin to paying union dues.  I'm sure some brighter than me can give you the exact answer but in general, union dues are deemed a mandatory requirement to belong to a professional and self regulating organization.  Nurses, doctor's, trades people can claim their dues as they...

I hope you are being facetious because you are dead wrong.  Mess Dues, Mess Dinners, Haircuts, dry cleaning, etc are not tax deductable.

R031 - Those same sentiments were expressed to me back in the 80s.  My advice, suck it up, move on and don't treat your soldiers that way when you make it up the chain of command.  If you let the comments by one "high level NCO" dictate your future...you are selling yourself, and the army...

The article is a prime example of media sensationalism and ignorance as well as a lack of personal integrity on the part of the individual.

And where would you like to take the millions of dollars from?  Try reading or quoting my full post vice picking a portion of it to disagree with. Accn and trg stds are two different things.  I can rationalize poor accn but I can't rationalize poor trg/trg stds. Lots of Regs waiting in...

Ack.  Similar problems in Wx as well.

I can not comment on accn in Petawawa or Valcartier as I haven't been there recently.  I would guess that most "mounting bases" have minimal temporary accn to support large influxes of augmentees.  Infrastructure is expensive to build and maintain which is why tent cities are quite popular at...

http://www.artillery.net/english/engstart.htm As a general statement, you will find that the artillery deploys on just about every operation in one capacity or another.  Hence out motto "Ubique", latin for "Everywhere".  This can be from individual augmentee as a military observer with the...

I believe that is referred to as "gossip".

The name of the place in St Albert is ORTHOTECH: http://canada411.yellowpages.ca/business/1%2C0/2446563.html?what=ORTHOTECH&where=st%20albert

This is where I had mine done.  Downtown St Albert, just off of Perron Street.  PM me if you want directions.

CTV Newsworld ran the interview with BGen Fraser.  Another sad day for Canada.

Rifleman62, I am using the date of 1 Oct 06 as the cut off date for believing it will be implemented on 1 Apr 07.  If the policy on how it will be implemented is not articulated at this point, it will be delayed again.  Cheers,

Call me an optimist but yeah, it does.
