Judging from the number of times it says Navy/Ensigns/anchors on the NCDs I think the preferred option would be "Boat Master Boat Warrant Officer." Just to make sure people get it.

From the Government's fact page: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/news/2019/08/canada-negotiates-new-armoured-combat-support-vehicles.html Right now we are trying to read tea leaves. Part of problem is the press releases are probably not written by pers who really have all...

I dearly love the bisons as a platform but they have been used hard for too many years. Most units I know concede they will only have about 50% of their fleets road worthy at one time. Even with their crews working full time to maintain them and full time mechanics supporting them we can barely...

I wouldn't worry too much about the current makeup of Troops in each regiment. Those are the kinda things that change constantly depending on operational need, equipment availability, command personalities and manning levels. It is currently a time of great flux for the Armoured Corps...

Where new guys can go when posted to the Regiment: A & B Sqn are tank squadrons. They are, on paper, mirrors of each other and do exactly what you think. Through their superior mobility and firepower they destroy the enemy. Recce Sqn (D Sqn) is mounted recce for the Brigade. They move around...

Then you would have a two engine vehicle. Problem solved, we should by F-35s and Canadianize them by strapping Gripens to them.

Where did you get the PAM? As far as I can see, by checking the DIN and the Infantry School's ACIMS page, the old one has not been superseded yet. The reason there has been no fanfare may be because the PAM has been written by the experts but not yet approver by 40 different paper pushers in...

Machine guns, grenades, ruck marches, digging holes, inspections and other stuff. Maybe manpacks or maybe not, as they are their way out. Maybe the Carl G, they seem to have added it and taken it out of the TP multiple times over the last decade.

If you are going to remote the batteries you can get a cable that allows you to plug a manpack battery into a 152. That will give you a tonne of time before you need to swap batteries.

Integrity is very important in the CAF. We trust our people at their word all the time for a lot of different things. If you are the type of person that lies, especially about something as inconsequential as why you are not at work, perhaps the CAF is not a good fit for you. We want people who...

Systems to do this already exist. The civilian telecom industry uses lasers to push data around built up areas. We use technologies like HCLOS to push data around the tactical battle space.

Really Cool Sabre?

I am not a Black Hatter but am in an armoured unit and just left Recce Sqn. Having talked to the guys using this equipment these are some initial impressions: The TAPVs while weighing more than a Coyote and having less wheels are surprising adapt at off road driving. The big fear of them being...

So your plan is to store a week's worth of dirty laundry somewhere in your shack room? I'm sure your course staff will love that.

From the above link: $67,392 yearly/12 months = $5,616 monthly That pay rate is equal to the lowest rate of pay for a Corporal within specialist group one. So, it looks like spec pay is confirmed.

Talk to the recruiters, depending on the qualifications you have, you may be eligible for the ACISS recruiting bonus. (Up to $20,000)

Everyone else is not doing it. The Engineers said "That sounds stupid, we don't want any part of it." So, can we skip it?

But then we will have to switch to all black uniforms...

Do you want to go to 21 EW once you are qualified? If so ask about getting on a Bison course. I am pretty sure we (LdSH (RC), where I am pretty sure you are posted) will be running one shortly. Recce needs to qualify new drivers and the maintainers will need to qualify the new guys that are...
