Agree, if anything is "hanging out", fair game.  Canex used to carry good v-necks too.

Both wearing undershirts.  Both less noticeable than the variety of different "green" berets visible on parades (logistik vs purchased etc).

I'd be curious to see how many people on this forum, other than SP, have been jacked up for wearing a white v-neck completely under their SS shirt.  Even more curious to know how many Sr. NCMs here have jacked up others for the same "offence". Throughout my time at CFLRS, CMR, RMC, and other...

The only guidance in the dress instructions is: "The shirt, short-sleeved shall be worn with the collar open.  Underwear shall not be visible." So, as long as a white v-neck is completely under your shirt, no problem.  In fact, I think it looks a lot more professional - DEU shirts seem to be...

The Order-in-Council is specific in that it only waives privilege and cabinet confidence in reference to the SNC-Lavalin issue, and only covers her time as AG, and nothing after the cabinet shuffle. In the same vain, this waiver will not allow her to comment on the Norman prosecution.

Are we now counting elected officials as part of the bureaucracy?  Does parliamentary process count as "red tape"?  Is democratic debate the process that needs to be culled?  Or is it implementation of that is slowed by bureaucratic processes and delays (by the actual bureaucracy)? Using the...

Maybe it is possible to be relatively over-represented, but I don't think it's just a simple matter of cutting a deliberative body in half in the name of saving money, or for the notion of making consensus easier or decision-making less burdensome. A larger, more diverse population will always...

Less representation in the name of: cost saving? 

City of Vancouver has 11 councillors (incl mayor) for a population of approx 635,000 people.  That's 1 representative for every 57,700 residents. Using this equation, Toronto, with a population of 2.7 million residents, ought to have 47 councillors.  What exactly is the problem?

I doubt it's the UN Cyprus medal, as it is being worn out of sequence in relation to both the CD and Jubilee ribbons.  Also, no associated CPSM is being worn. The blue and white ribbon could be a police or municipal/provincial award maybe?

Perhaps Recceguy can explain his incredulity at JMT's assertion that the Supreme Court of the United States is not an elected elected body (unlike other levels of the US court system).  Please explain how a presidential nomination requiring senate confirmation is "elected"?  If you find the...

4 buttons down the front?  Better make it 5... Looks ridiculous.

Just to comment on an earlier post: while CSEC is legally barred from intercepting communications within Canada, no such restriction exists for CSIS, which is mandated to perform its duties within, and outside of Canada. CSIS is able to investigate and collect information on threats to Canada...

Here are a few articles that address subjects discussed in this thread, for what they're worth: Of note, the USAF has been pipelining 'green' pilots onto the F-22 since 2008 - a similar F-35 pipeline seems plausible.  After T-6 Texan II training, and T-38 Talon training, new students fly a few...

I'm finding this thread pretty interesting, as in the past I've wondered about who I'm actually addressing when making the declaration. If the RSO or officer conducting the exercise is female, is the Cpl addressed as "Ma'am" regardless of the Cpl's gender? If the RSO or officer conducting the...

Interestingly, the MND's bio on the DND website refers to him as "a retired Lieutenant-Colonel in the Canadian Armed Forces and a combat veteran." If the minister is, in fact, now in the Supp Res, would he actually be subject to the CSD while on DND property (despite the fact that he is...

From an RMC standpoint, RMC has never offered fine arts degrees.  The Faculty of Arts does continue to offer B.A. programs in Business Admin, History, English, French, Economics, Politics, Military Psychology and Leadership, and Strategic Studies. Personally, I've never met a CAF member who...

It makes sense to me that neither 416 nor 441 TFS were reactivated since choosing only one of the 2 could have been seen as controversial.  It made sense to reactivate 433, as it had been rolled into 425, which continues to exist. Of the other CF18 Sqns, 421 "Red Indians" may not have been a...

401 Sqn it is.  It's on the 4 Wing website, but no mention of its reactivation. http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/4-wing/401-squadron.page

Thanks for the info ref 415 LRP.  At first glance, amalgamating MPEU and 14 SES seems to make good sense. Will be interesting to see what happens in Cold Lake.  Looks like all the mergers / deactivations from 2005/2006 are now undone.
