    CANFORGEN on Pay and PIL

    Might not be redressable... But, honorary Cols do not bother with the redress system anyways. Any such plan to cut the CL A component of the reserve gratuity, will likely result in lots of grumbling in the messes. Honoraries have been known to frequent messes. I'll leave it at that... Oh, and...

    How to survive the Zombie Apocalypse

    Well, my alternate plan is... Become one of the first zombies... What a life... Shamble along and eat. Shamble and eat.

    CANFORGEN on Pay and PIL

    I can not see how THEY could change something to being outside the parametres of the old reserve retirement gratuity. I would love for them to keep it as is, but worst case would be 3.5 days per year worked up to 20 then 7 days per year worked and that does cover CL A time (at 19.09 yrs for me...

    How to survive the Zombie Apocalypse

    Hey now! Zombies are just misunderstood! My plan is to protect as many of the poor creatures as possible, and allow them to flourish in their natural habitat... I leave them alone, they leave me alone. (I am also trying to get back into running shape... For if my plan fails, I just can not be...

    New CF Physical Fitness Webiste-DFit.ca

    Well, the dfit.ca team has produced, very possibly, the first ever, user friendly military web page. Beautiful product guys!

    New CF Physical Fitness Webiste-DFit.ca

    My peers know me for some, well, unorthadox thinking... Has any thought been given to approaching someone like runkeeper.com to just do a port over? May be cheaper then building an app from scratch. The site, runkeeper.com plugs into Facebook flawlessly (in my uneducated opinion). Anyhoo, that's...

    New CF Physical Fitness Webiste-DFit.ca

    Allycat12, if you are involved in the dfit.ca project, I have gotten onto the site, and I have to say... Well done. I am not a fitness expert by any stretch so an expert opinion you will not get... But for a middle-aged man fighting the battle of the bulge, it looks like a very informative and...

    The "Red Blanket Treatment"

    Beat me with a sock filled with an unknown white liquid substance, and I will quickly change whatever it is that brought this onto me...    :crybaby: On a more serious note. As others have indicated, any such vigilante behavior will get you investigated for potential charges under the NDA and...

    Surrey: Canadian military says no to 'Sikh cadet corps'

    Considering that Sikhism is a religion and not a race nor ethnic group... It would be impossible to separate religion from the issue. The Cadets is supposed to be inclusive... Granted, I am very rusty on the CATOs...

    Sept 2012: U.S. Ambassador in Libya and two others killed in attack of consulate

    We, in the western world, are very very good at recognizing and exploiting our freedoms. This is a good thing. A very good thing by and large... We fail utterly at teaching responsibility. Are you really doing something for the greater good, when you KNOW that your "free speech" is going to...

    Benefits Cut...

    I'll mention politicians... Isn't it nice how they are leading from the front with all of the cuts to their own benefits? And the way they equalized their pension? I think I managed to get an entire month's worth of sarcasm out in just two sentences.

    Who'll be the next CDS? Speculation here, please!!

    This reservist felt a tremor in the force... And no sir, I do not like it.

    Benefits Cut...

    Actually, I got it right. If you think the jobs are even remotely similar, feel free to talk to a cop sometime. We mostly train, then we go out and do the job for a short period then train some more. We do the job for six to eight months, sometimes up to a year plus. But for the most part we...

    Benefits Cut...

    I agree... The only time a Sgt, WO or commissioned officer is even in the same ball park is when we are deployed.  A police officer's accountability follows them in every way every day until they retire (sometimes follows them even after retirement). They go out for dinner, next table over...

    Benefits Cut...

    TA for PRes CL B and CL A: CL B, there are several instances across this nation, where the member filling the position and drawing TA is doing so as there is little other choice. As other have indicated, a CL B member is not always (usually not in fact) offered a cost move. Further, their...

    Political spouses & media (Split fm The Khadr Thread)

    Hmmm, sad... I would suggest, that when a reporter asks for an interview and submits the topic and or questions in advance, and then decides to go off that topic, just end the interview. It is highly likely that the reporter has an agenda. No one has to speak to the press, ever. No politician...

    Canadian Military/Defence procurement process (Mega Thread)

    Fair enough (I did say LSVW after all)... The process as it stands is problematic and I can accept that. Perhaps it is time to actually start from scratch.

    Canadian Military/Defence procurement process (Mega Thread)

    Hmmm, I would argue that the issue with procurrement is not within DND, but all the external pressures applied to the DND. This article (above) has a plan which would NOT fix the issues... It would just give us more TacVests and LSVWs.

    Toronto Imam's Ideas for Preventing Rape.

    That would be an appropriate comparison. You are right, it is not just *ultra-conservative right wing* Muslims uttering this vile crap. Basically it is all morons, idiots and malcontents who play the "blame the victim" game. [*Edited to clarify. I have far too many friends of all persuassions...
