Yeah I just saw this doing the rounds on facebook today.  Too funny.  It was apparently a 55 page photo spread too LOL  :rofl:

Are these NATO DL courses 'official' courses that can be entered into the system for the CF?

Out of curiosity, not sure if anyone would have knowledge on the process, but does anyone know what the promotion criteria is like for specialist Medical Officers like surgeons, radiologists etc from Major up? I'm assuming that specialist Medical Officers still have merit boards but other than...

Out of curiousity what type of specialities do Reg Force legal officers often transfer to?  Do you mean they transfer out of the legal branch and into other GSO officer classifications? MARS officer training is same in the Navy between reserve and reg up until the OFP.  After that it's pretty...

No, we would never give a 2Lt that responsibility, a Sub-Lieutenant on the other hand, all the civie flash drives he wants.. lol  ::) Agreed the CBC is blowing this out of proportion to try to make a news story out of something more than it actually is.  It still doesn't make the video...

Yeah.. Seems to me the issue was already taken care of by the CoC... much like the Key West news story for the RCN.  What is the story here?  "Here is an issue that was already taken care of and we're making it an issue again by making it public and involving the military police."

I was wondering if somebody could post on this thread with some more updated information.  Having read CBI 205.525, I understand what recruiting allowance amounts were previously in effect as of April 2012.  However, I also see that according to the article below recruiting allowances have been...

It's too bad, it sounds like he was a good CO and leader overall too but its a stark reminder that good leaders can make bad choices as well just like anyone else.

Seeing as how saying this would affect many commonwealth countries and also involve a significant cost to all the taxpayers in the countries involved, I don't think it would be as simple as just saying it and therefore, not likely to happen without significant consultation and agreement from...

My understanding is that the MOU is not a guarantee that they would be able to parade class A but just provides the possibility.  It is best for the mbr to do some of their own research and propose potential host units that can accommodate them.

Yeah... no nomination process that I know of at my unit, no board, and an awful lot of senior NCO's and a small number of officers with a lot of time in rank getting it.  Not that the mbrs at my unit who got it arn't necessarily deserving (ok some of them actually aren't IMO), but it's more...

As I am currently looking into this... Just a note for naval reserve members looking to do this in Australia, the Australian naval reserve system is quite different from here in Canada.  They used to have individual units where reserve members parade at weekly and do training on the weekends...

Does anybody know someone who has gone through the process of using the MOU's before?  Was it a fairly lengthy and difficult process or was it pretty straightforward in the end by just going through the CoC etc.?

That and CFFSQ was directed by NAVRES to save money, someway.. somehow.

From what I understand having spoken to the PO1 in charge of this change when I was at Quebec City earlier this year... The MITE codes and qualifications remain the same still giving mbrs the reg BMQ and NETP qualifications. The consolidation of the courses into the BMNQ course was done by...

I believe my unit is just distributing the QDJM based on the people with the most amount of time in their rank... Hardly the top 10%... and of course the command team ensures by this calculation that they all get theirs too..

Yeah it is odd that the old site couldn't be left up until the new one is working so that people can still access the information...

RIP and thank you for your service LCdr (ret'd) Lore.  It's great to see how far diversity in the CF has come today.  :salute:

Great stuff!  What an awesome addition to the unit and the memorial garden.

It was definitely not unusual to fly courtesy flags on foreign port visits to the US (national flags though obviously). In terms of provincial flags, I personally haven't seen this done before.  However, from the pictures I've seen taken by friends on the great lakes tour, it appears that this...
