For both of the preceding situations, this is clearly a case of the fact that "all roads lead to Ottawa" lol

I agree with Hamiltongs, I think the flag officer shoulder boards will stay the same (imo it looks much better anyways) but the bars on the sleeves for No.1 dress will be as described (large thick bar with thinner bars above).  This is similar to what the RN does. I also personally think that...

Quite interesting, thanks for the unofficial information.  This will take a while to get used to seeing!

VI Chris, I'm curious, I've never heard of a BMOQ weekend course for officers.  Not sure if you know but what are the officers on your course doing attending the BMQ course?  Are they attending it as a form of prep for their BMOQ course in the summer?  Also I would've imagined that the 2Lt's on...

The facility seems quite small (though it is only for 6 people working up there).  Interesting to note the date of completion is slated for the end of October 2010.

Great!  Thanks for the quick response!

I'm not sure if its just me but I tried using the search function this morning and it doesn't seem to come out with any 'hits' no matter what I search.  Anybody else experience this problem? Edit to add:  Perhaps this is just something to do with the switch to the new server, just thought I'd...

Out of curiosity as I'm not too informed in this area, how does one identify an MP performing a policing role as opposed to someone just in the trade?  I'm assuming the red beret is not enough but do all MP's performing policing roles only wear their "operational police dress" (ie I should never...

Looks great, I look forward to seeing pictures of the final product!

The way I see it in this situation, it would technically not be cowardice as per the definition.  However, it would still be disobeying a lawful order as it is not 'manifestly unlawful' to be ordered to mount an unsuccessful defence of a defense establishment (especially if, for example, this...

Great, thanks for satisfying my curiousity garb811!

This is interesting, my understanding is that members technically remain in their trade while assigned to the unit.  MPs are a special case as they are police officers with expanded powers of arrest compared to your average CF member.  I would presume that they would not retain these while...

As easy as it may be to learn new rank structures etc., I think if we do add the curl, we should keep the change as basic as possible without altering the rank structure and causing any type of confusion between us and the army/air force. This would mean the only visual difference in the...

Not sure if Cheeky Monkey has done his MARS II/NETP-O course yet but this is generally when the 'bulk' of Canadian Naval history is introduced to a MARS Officer (though from what I recall, it was more like 'read this and then you get quized' type of format).  Also, would naval history not be...

This is great news to see and about time!  I never thought the politicians would ever have this on their radar, let alone pass a motion to consider bringing this back.  I fully support this and think that it would be great for a stronger sense of naval identity.  Not a bad Centennial gift for...

I thought I'd just chime in and swerve outside my lane a bit. My understanding is that individuals can be incorporated (essentially a business with one employee) which may help with tax implications and liability issues if being sued in terms of protecting personal assets to a certain extent. ...

It may be a bit easier for people to see the full article below rather than just an excerpt.  Also, Mods, perhaps we can change to the title of the thread to not insinuate that CTV is the one pointing fingers when charges have been laid?  Thanks...

Lets not let one bad story paint everyone in the same light.  This is definitely not the attitude of me and my other junior officer colleagues.  I've certainly worked with some great LS/Cpl's and these individuals make a world of difference in getting the job done.

great episode, good job Jody!

I definitely wouldn't be opposed to this, however... Where's the common-sense in this?  Unless profiling is done with solid evidence, this is a slippery slope and exactly what the enemy wants from us.  They've disrupted travel and trade (through the sometimes ridiculous but increasingly...
