    Cmbt CADPAT shirts

    I checked with the two guys that are wearing shirts with sleeve pockets on ILQ with me.  They received them from clothing stores in Petawawa.  I get a couple of pic with the Cell Phone and post them.

    Cmbt CADPAT shirts

    We have a couple of guys here in St Jean on ILQ that have TW Shirts with pockets on the sleeves.  I ask them tomorrow where they came from.  The quality of the work and the uniformity of them suggest to me that they are either issued that way or are a very good tailor job. Like I said, I'll ask...

    And this is large part of the reason we are where we are in the C & E Branch in general and Army Sigs more specifically.  We treat people like and they are as expendable as D Cell batteries.  From what I gather in the very limited information that I`ve been able to get about the ACISS process...

    I whole heartily agree that the units need to look after their people.  My main concern is that it's not going to happen because we won't be able to train them effectively.  The units don't have the time or people to dedicate to them the way that will be needed.  IF current employment...

    RumInt has it happening but I have yet to hear anything even quasi offical, and there didn't seem to be any hint of hit as the ISSO COnf / Training session that was held last week. Watch and shoot I guess.

    I have to agree with Occom on this one.  As for the Rad Op / Tel Op amalgamation.  Having dealt with some of the fall out, it hasn't worked quite the way that was planned.  First question I have to ask a great many folks is what side of the trade did they start in and when (IF AT ALL) did they...

    Canadian Logistic Corps?

    Later than I said it would be but here is: The Logistician Logisticians are a sad and embittered race of men who are very much in demand in war, and sink resentfully into obscurity in peace.  They deal only in facts, but must work for men who merchant in theories.  They emerge during war...

    The Reserve Thread- A Merged Collection of Q & A's

    RGR thanks GW.  I requested a new copy of the book after I saw the previous answer. I've been reading it for about the last hour.  Quite a few changes from what I was given on hand over from my predecessor.  Explains as well why he was encouraged to move on.  A great many things would seem to be...

    The Reserve Thread- A Merged Collection of Q & A's

    I'm currently a reserve unit recruiter so I can fill in a little info for you.  Actually what you need is 6 High School credits.  They do not need to be just grade 10.  As long as you have ten total.  In Nova Scotia they must be "Academic" not "General"  If you have specific questions PM me and...

    Canadian Logistic Corps?

    I have no dog in this fight over what the Log Branch should or should not be called, all I care about is that they continue to perform as they always have, with all the heart and energy they have always displayed.  What I am curious about is the is the dislike of the term "Logistician". On the...

    Defence Analyst Sunil Ram

    Given the time frame he is talking about he would have been, a ERC pointed out, a generic CELE O.  the Officer classifications hadn't changed and been split as they are know.  The fact sheets that Vern put up are the newer ones forthe way we work now.  You'd have to find old info from the Museum...

    When was this survey sent and by who, I have yet to see it.  Not that I have any faith in any system that created this monstrosity.  I know I have said it before in this thread but I still maintain that is is going to be a disaster of epic proportions.  The Titanic will look mild by comparison...
