    CF Hair Regulations - superthread [MERGED]

    I don't thing our dress manual is a shopping catalogue. It's seems to me that it might be a "directive". The idea of "promoting" certain hairstyles should be left to the salons and personal time. I look to the the QR&Os, DAODs, 265, CFAOs to know how to conduct myself while in and out of...

    PT Safety Markers

    Hey that's not bad! I was always told we were "moving pylons" for cars to avoid! "PYLONS OUT!!!" meant a whole new pain when we were running with 50 or 60 troops!

    CAF Combat boots policy 2005-2018

    Lol!! Actually, it is! We have the CANLANDGEN posted, and I actually went a step further and posted the SAM references along with Sandra's email (her full name redacted of course) and the new, revised LOTB Implementation Order. You know as well as I do - I can stamp it on people's foreheads and...

    Enrollment / Swearing In Ceremony [MERGED]

    It's funny you say that - a few years ago at my son's grade 11 parent / teacher interviews, we approached his English teacher with some concern regarding his grammar and spelling. In our eyes it was very poor. However, we were assured that the students are taught how to use "spellcheck"... I...

    CAF Combat boots policy 2005-2018

    Oy vey. Another side of the problem is when Clothing Stores across Canada start doing their own thing, making their own policies and treating direction differently than everyone else. I have a soldier who comes in from Shilo (completely hypothetical...) and says he's been getting COTS for years...

    Release section advised me last week that the caveat is 12 - 16 weeks for pension and up to 30 weeks for severance (my severance is as straight forward as one can get). Anything better than that is gravey. Count down begins next week! Has anyone heard / know of the LTD timeline? the 75% top-up...

    Good one - I never thought of a TFSA... What about a really big fish tank? You could put phiranna in there and bury all the loot at the bottom? I'm sorry - i'm just in an impish mood... also, like WHAT GEORGE SAID - maybe a financial planner wouldn't have given you the answers I did... just...

    Armed Forces Consider incentives to keep soldiers fit

    Lol - You now have ME at a loss here - I once ran the 3.2 with a guy named Clutch. Vern knows him well... I DID place a bracket around this...

    Armed Forces Consider incentives to keep soldiers fit

    Of course not - I said "interesting aside"... I know the DCO to which you are refering.

    Armed Forces Consider incentives to keep soldiers fit

    Yes - the 3.2 run was FFO (with weapon) so, yea - 19 mins was a bit difficult. Not impossible mind you - I was with a guy (Vern knows him as "Clutch") who managed it in 15.

    Armed Forces Consider incentives to keep soldiers fit

    Just an interesting aside, but every fitness test I have seen instituted with a time constraint, I have heard the time was lowered (or raised) due to some high ranking officer NOT being able to meet it. For example, the Gen Waters competition - we were told that it was originally supposed to be...
