Mama always said 'stupid is as stupid does'.......

It is always best to be up front with the Recruiting staff and course staff about religious requirements - aspects such as prayer times, and dietary restrictions. When I ran a BMQ years ago, I had three young Muslim troops who asked for prayer time. One of them linked me in with his Imam, who...

Just in case....remember to vote Kodos! Twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

I suspect that he will have a file opened through DMCA 2 to conduct an Administrative Review. I would not be surprised at all, given the importance of Operation HONOUR and the exceedingly clear orders that our CDS has given us on ending all HISB, that a recommendation for release under item 5f...

Friday 0200 hrs, Presidential Alert to the nation..... "The White House is out of covfefe".......

A quick check of two databases shows no Maj Robert Broughton, RCA, in the CAF. Sometimes the info isn't 100% accurate, but I'd say it's total bull. They guy she's communicating with could even be a scammer from India. Those CRA scam folks really like to ask for payment by iTunes gift card.

Hwyhtac, there's a chance my office can help. I've sent you a PM with the details we need.

Army 83, having gone through this for almost 9 years, here's a few thoughts: Brihard is quite right about getting the Legion reps to help with the paperwork. Make sure though that you list every possible impact (no matter how small) on your life. VAC takes it all into account when determining...

Admit it folks, we've all dreamed of taking an armoured vehicle for a joy ride through town! This young lad just found a way to live life large! Thirty years from now, there will still be a Mess legend about him.

Brihard, we are in agreement. From what I am aware of, PTSD has rarely ever been accepted as a cause for an NCR defense in Canada (I've heard of one case from Western Canada), because it's so difficult to prove the defendant had absolutely no awareness or control over their actions. As I was...

I spent seven weeks as an Attending Officer in a First Degree Murder trial of a WO who killed his wife. His defense was based upon an attempt to prove that he was Not Criminally Responsible (NCR) by virtue of PTSD. While FJAG is far more capable than I to comment on this, he did note clearly...

Mariomike - I'm usually reluctant to compare Trump to Hitler. I've always felt that the Bavarian Corporal was ultimately far smarter than Trump (all claims to being a very stable genius aside). I believe Trump is much more akin to Il Duce, a bombastic and overly narcissistic buffoon. His use of...

At the risk of falling prey to Godwin's Law, I would suggest that the current iteration of 'fake news' and it's aggressive attempt to disable mainstream media whenever it questions the Trump narrative, is more akin to the Lugenpresse tactic of the early Nazis. Any media chain which in any way...

I seem to recall there were three ladies and a goon (pimp?) from Eastern Europe who hung around New Canada House in KAF - at least until the staff would chase them out the door..... There were also those young ladies at the Thai 'Massage Parlour' on the boardwalk. They were all brought to the...

Well, isn't that just the sort of attitude I don't want in my unit. I really don't give a rat's hind end if somebody is an ACP. I want soldiers who follow direction, and will put their ass on the line for the wounded, without complaining.

I've fought this before for some of my troops. The goal is to make an ironclad link between the injury, and service. The old EXPRESS forms helped, because you could clearly indicate what activities you participated in, in order to stay fit and pass the test. If you were injured doing one of the...

There are also deaths which could possibly be suicides, but are not recorded as such. Coroners have differing policies across the country on what it takes to rule a death as a suicide. I am aware of at least one case where a mbr most probably deliberately ended their life. Because there was no...

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) or General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and several other disorders that are related to substance abuse are listed as the most common comorbidities for PTSD. In fact, there is a lot of symptom overlap between PTSD and MDD. That's...

You might also try contacting 23 Field Ambulance in Hamilton. The current 5 Field Ambulance has only an artificial lineage drawn to 5 Field Ambulance of WW II - they have no geographic link at all, and they never paid any attention to the 5 Fd Amb veterans, history, etc. The old 5 Fd Amb was...

Larry, it looks like crossed torpedoes, a trident, and a submarine. I'd be guessing some sort of sub school or torpedo school??
