This thread is rapidly de-volving in to Barrack Room Lawyer heresay. It's probably best, if Pte Bloggins, when faced with that situation, get offered his Rights to Counsel and then contacts his lawyer. I'd rather receive legal advise about my specific situation from an actual lawyer, then listen...

Parking is normally regulated in part by Base Standing/Routine orders and they will vary base to base. In Esquimalt, it is recommended but not required for civilian POMV's but mandatory for government vehicles. When I was posted to Gagetown it was mandatory and I believe was governed by a Base...

When I did my OT, I was to switch cap badges but not beret colors. My QL3 JIs stated show up day one QL3 in green beret with MP cap badge. (MP's only get the red beret upon graduation from QL3) Other branches and trades have different pre-requisites. Your QL3 joining instructions, one would...

Or morning PT will consist of a line of QL3 students carrying boxes from the old Academy lines to the new ones...  >:D

There are jobs that require civilian clothes, and when driving to and from a place such as a temporary tasking, particularly a long drive, often you are allowed to wear civilian clothes.

I cannot speak to the file in question as I know nothing about it, but perhaps the elements of the offense (critical in laying and convicting someone of a charge) were not met for either the Sexual Assualt or the Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle. I'll say it again, if anyone is on DND...

I should probably provide clarification to my post, as on third reading it could be read that I support a return to a "soldier = court martial, civilian = civilian trial system". That is not what I would like to see. I think our current system of checks and balances works well. I was simply...

I disagree with you here. I think the Court Martial should be as broad as it is now, and used for criminal matters (Sec 130 of the NDA is a bridge section allowing most (but not all)) Federal Offences to be laid under the NDA). Like it or not, the Military is a seperate and distinct lifestyle...

MPs are defined in the Criminal Code as Peace Officers when within their jurisdiction. They can, and do (often), lay charges through the civilian justice system even for military members. In fact, many charges are not dealt with by the Military Justice system, such as Impaired Driving (amongst...

My sentiments exactly... A res MP may correct me on this, but I have only ever run into army Res MPs at the res platoons...

WPJ, Collectively, we get rather suspicious around these parts whenever someone attempts to locate actual CADPAT (AR, TW, etc.) equipment. The sheer number of walts, posers, wannabes and fraudsters out there has made that so. At best, walts use it to elicit sympathy at a bar; at worst, it is...

*IF* you get posted to the West Coast, I have very much enjoyed Coast Capital Savings Credit Union. My branch always recognizes me when I come in, they have free money management staff, lots of good options, are an ICBC insurance broker, and just in general have been very good to us. My wife has...

WPJ, I'm off work right now after having an ACL reconstruction surgery. Once I get back to work I will check to see if the list is available on the civilian internet and not just the DWAN. It may be a couple weeks yet before getting back in the saddle here but if the list doesn't come up before...

I waited 5 months prior to attending an MPAC and I didn't have to go through all the other recruiting steps as I was already in... Keep that in mind.

You are giving advice to prospective applicants, without a shred of first hand knowledge of how the military hires, works, or what system is used for hiring. Applying does not make you a subject matter expert on our recruiting system and its standards. We do have jobs where prior experience is...

You are firing well outside your arcs for someone who isn't in the Canadian Army yet, aren't you?

It's called the Defence Production Act. http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/D-1/page-9.html#h-9 Check Part 2: Restriction of Access to Controlled Goods. Beyond that, I won't be holding your hand any further. There are also technical regulations and schedules of controlled goods listed with...

A myriad of things are happening. The process differs for every, I say again, every applicant. They only run a certain number of MPACs and MPOACs per year. Be patient. February to the start of April is not a terribly long time to wait. If you are concerned, call your recruiter. Who did you...

To be fair to the OP, I betcha no one was expecting it...
