I thought this was funny. The poster is accusing the person in the picture of stolen valour because they are wear the green CadPat rain jacket over the new uniform. Sadly this isn't the first time I've seen this. Consider that the MT rain jacket doesn't exist yet, I'll hold out on calling SVC.

I'm starting to feel that the whole purpose of the PRes is going to shift to solely training and maintaining the MRes.

I don't know how other brigades are doing, but with the current op tempo, we are basically at our LOE with instructors just to cover the courses we are running now. I can't image the staff that it would require to run 300,000 people through a five day training cycle each year.

Didn't we just get new combat uniforms?

St John Ambulance. John the Baptist never owned an ambulance.

I mean, who's actually wearing perfume in combat?

So, who is going to train all these people?

I actually thought that I was looking at the Beaverton to begin with. How many public servants would actually sign up for this? Is there any extra incentive for them. Is this eventually going to be a requirement of working in public service, where someone is enrolled automatically upon being...

In Soviet Russia.....

I have been surprised that the knives didn't come out for PP after the election, probably due to a lack of competition. However, you do have to think that those thoughts are there considering that the last election was likely originally going to result in a Conservative majority. Now we have a...

And one of our instructors would spend the rest of their lives in jail.....

I'd feel sorry for anyone who had to be staff on a BMQ full of conscripts.

We would be forced to conscript women, the charter would require it.

Sounds similar to the Ontario Corps.

The one we aren't suppose to talk about.
