Seeing as it is for university, how about a book recommendation. Check out Desmond Morton's A Military History of Canada. Dr. Morton is not only a graduate of RMC and a former officer himself, he is also one of the foremost authorities on Canadian Military History. Most importantly for your...

Nope, you didn't but it was mentioned earlier in the thread.

There is a big difference between having the authority to provide direction and being in the Chain of Command. At no point is any civilian in the Chain of Command. If the CO is unavailable, command does not fall to the CO's secretary it falls to the 2I/C and all the way down the Chain of Command...

I'd be willing to be that it is taught somewhere on BMQ/BMOQ. Either way, it's no defence. I think someone would have a hard time arguing that they are ignorant of the existence of the NDA....

The NDA specifically states ignorance is not a defence in S.150. http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/N-5/page-46.html#docCont

That's a great story.

Why? 3 Can Div is what LFWA was renamed to. 1CMBG still exists as a sub-unit of 3 Can Div.

Anyone who stops to think about this for a second would realize that of course Pakistan gave approval for strikes within their territory. Pakistan is a US ally and the US does not just kill civilians, albeit unintentionally, in the countries of its allies. Pakistan is a nuclear power and to do...

I know of two SNCOs who are able to farm and be in the artillery (reg force). One is now retired but he did have, and probably still has, a bunch of cattle, some horses and a few other odds and sods. The only way they are able to do it is with strong family and spousal support plus by having a...

How do we know he's a separatist. Is being a militant franco and a nationalist mutually exclusive?

That seems highly unlikely.

Raise your concerns with your chain of command in a constructive manner as that is what they are there for.

This announcement conjures up images for me of all these staff wienies wandering out into the light and stumbling around the training area. Not really sure what exactly the front-line units are going to with NDHQ types.... Maybe we can have a survivors of NDHQ Btn somewhere?  :)

Check with the local CFRC for deadlines for ROTP. These three are very different jobs. Suffice to say, no, you will not be working civilian hours all the time. You could be shift work, you could be less then civilian hours when not in the field and WAY more when in the field/deployed. You...

I am positive that you are wrong. ROTP, CEOTP, CFR... To the OP. Your questions have been asked here before. Do a quick search and check out the recruiting web page.

You can contact whoever you want. The bottom line is that you will have to travel away. A large amount of your training will be hands-on. Courses are run where there are training areas so that you can learn how to fire artillery, lead attacks or whatever you end up doing. This kind of training...

The reason that you haven't been told too much concrete information is that nothing is concrete. This is true in the training period and even more so as your career progresses. Learn to embrace, or at least accept, uncertainty and you'll do well as a service spouse. The other thing I'll warn you...

Great info from Bird Gunner there. Check out the Artillery sub-thread on this forum for more. One thing that you may not want to hear though is that you should be prepared that none of what BG describes will happen. There are a lot of people that start training only to voluntarily release...

I am not sure where you are but there used to be a Co-Op program available in some areas. It would be a great way to earn some credits and to give you a taste of the military. Check with your guidance counselor at school or local recruiting center if this program still exists and is available in...

The interesting thing about the case that je suis prest posted is that even though the Judge clearly thinks the guy is somewhat of an idiot, he still found that the law sided with the accused. Just goes to show how tough the role of judge must be. I probably would have just convicted the guy for...
