Yes they've usually been told by someone higher up the food chain to get rid of those vehicles, as they are considered abandon, no valid plates, no insurance etc. Went through it myself as a patrolman.  But then again according to some people everything we do we do out of spite and to piss off...

Well I don't know how many times we have to borrow dog units over seas, and how they would aid in camp security (besides barking a lot) is beyond me. A dog unit is an expensive proposition, Fido has to be fed, housed, trained and besides who is going to fix him if he gets sick? Are we going to...

Hey I love dogs, but unless your in a big city police dept you don't need a K9 unit. How many times in the run of a shift have you required a dog?......thought so. A polygraph operator on the otherhand is a highly trained expert in interrogations, interviews and an excellent resource for solving...

Nice post Edward, certainly puts things in perspective. I joined in the early 80's, our generation pointed to the Charter as being another nail in the coffin of military discipline. Not that I'm anti-human rights or Charter, however it was another push towards the "me, my, I" culture and less...

Unfortunately none of this would be an issue if Snr NCOs and MCpls did their jobs in the first place. IMO the majority of soldiers who end up at the DB end up there because most (not all) Sgts do not take their jobs seriously enough. To many new recruits the army is another nine to five job...

Hey galvanizer you must be familiar with the great Croat military victory at the villiage of Stupni Do....

First of all nothing against members of the CF who are actually in the AF, however if you were to listen to some of my peers you'd think that their MOC (yes I know we don't use MOC anymore) started with a 5 instead of an 8.  You know the type....."I had a ride in a CF 18 once, I wear a wedge so...

Glad to see it doesn't just happen to us, the three uniforms as done nothing but encourage the little "empire builders" out there, (you know the "adults" who are so busy trying to protect their fiefdoms by blowing sunshine and BS up their respective commands A$$e$ that they fail to see the big...

Check your conduct sheet on your pers file. Charges are not just "wiped off". You must ask for a pardon to have them expunged and I believe you have to wait 3 years (could be 5 but I'm sure it is 3) before you can apply for a pardon.

You are incorrect. There now provisions for a number of military offences (Part 3 Div 6.2 of NDA) for which members can be fingerprinted and photographed under the Indentification of Criminals Act, which means your record follows you. For want of a better term your military offences are part of...

No one can legally punch you in the noggin because you insulted them. That person would be charged with assault.

IMO the particular case that this forum relates to, that being the loonies of Westbro Baptist Church, is not really about free speech. In Canada their actions at these funerals would be prosecuted under our hate laws. The funeral is an opportunity to spread their hatred against homosexuals, who...

Westbro Baptist Church is a group of religious nuts (all one family..you can hear the banjos in the background) who believe in an international "gay conspiracy" and America is "being punished" by God because the government isn't stringing up every homosexual in the US. They're much like Pat...

Don't even get started on the DEU thing. It took the branch how long to decide that members in OPD could all wear a red beret? All because the AF didn't want to play. I agree we should all be in army green.

First just because your a death tech, don't write off your training and leadership experience, albeit right now there is a glut of machinegunners and mortar-men out there in civvie street. However you do have qualifications and traits that employers love in applicants. The fact that many ex-031s...

I've been on both sides of the fence and this is a completely pointless and ridiculous argument. Everybody has a job to do. Not everbody can be an Infanteer, just like not everybody can be an MP or a Medic, Sup Tech etc. Hey we've only got 60,000 people in this outfit so we can only afford to...

I prefer "Use the phone book, it doesn't leave any marks"

No I did not repeat what you said. You said we answer to Ottawa for impartiality. We do not. Let me clarify. You work for the Base Commander, he/she sets the policing priorities on your base. The APM is there to ensure that you have the resources to do your job. Ottawa provides technical...

If it doesn't have anything to do with windmills, whales or hospital waiting times "Smiling Jack" doesn't want anything to do with it. The military "That's so un-Canadian." Do the NDP even have a defence platform? Check-out their web-site, I found nothing. I guess the fact the rest of the world...

The money used for the gun registry should be invested in more police resources and more prosecutors. The penalties for illegal gun use should be increased with minimum sentencing of 15 years for those that use a firearm while committing an indictable offence and this should be tacked on to the...
