    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    You mean 100 full-timers to reside in Div HQ so they can draft and email us a drafted, unsigned order telling 1 CMBG HQ they're the OPI for Pres Project Management and the only coordinating instruction grants us them DIRLAUTH, and then go for their 3 hour lunch break.

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    Everyone in 1 CMBG HQ just felt that "punch in the guts" feeling for yet another incoming task that 3 Div staff "don't have enough staff" for.............

    RMC - bachelor straight into master program

    I know of one person (Infantry Officer) going directly into their Masters after finishing their phase training and becoming OFP.... it was definitely a rare situation (the only one I know of). They also finished top of the academic program at RMC, so I'm sure that had something to do with it...

    All Things CAF and Covid/ Covid Vaccine [merged]

    If we don't, we will continue to lose good people at the cost of retaining bad people. You seem to be missing the point I'm making in that I think kicking shitbirds out will pay itself back in multiples. We've been trying the "don't get rid of anybody, we're too short-staffed" strategy for a...

    All Things CAF and Covid/ Covid Vaccine [merged]

    Of course they couldn't. However, it is the natural tendency of all governments to centralize more and more power at the top and eventually become a dictatorship. More of a natural phenoma / freak accident due to continuous human incompetence than a conspiracy. So I do have a place in my heart...

    All Things CAF and Covid/ Covid Vaccine [merged]

    There's a really good movie on Netflix now called "Don't Look Up" that really puts our current world and all these arguments into great perspective. Basically they discover that a comet is going to hit the earth in about 6 months and everyone wastes the whole 6 months arguing whether it's real...

    All Things CAF and Covid/ Covid Vaccine [merged]

    My values (high standards, accountability, integrity) don't align with the institution's values, so yes, I left to greener pastures. However, I followed every lawful order that was given to me until the day I left, including the 6-year period (since 2015) that I knew I would be releasing and...

    All Things CAF and Covid/ Covid Vaccine [merged]

    That literally has zero relevance to the argument. You continue to want to argue the merits of the decision rather than the concept of unlimited liability. Like I said, if you can tell me why unlimited liability does not apply, I'm all ears. But as long as you want to argue that the merits of...

    All Things CAF and Covid/ Covid Vaccine [merged]

    That's up to the Queen and those given the authorities under the NDA to issue legal orders. It's a volunteer army... if you lose confidence in the leadership's decision-making (as I have), then you can leave (which I have) so you no longer have to suffer from poor leadership / no longer assume...

    All Things CAF and Covid/ Covid Vaccine [merged]

    This thread is about the military members in this situation, not civilians in a free market. Explain how you can reconcile the idea of unlimited liability with some weird exception about this specific vaccine, or any vaccine/medication for that matter. It's nonsensical. Sorry but no on the...

    All Things CAF and Covid/ Covid Vaccine [merged]

    You're a CAF member right? Then the answer is "whatever ones you are told," including lead bullets fed to you by a machine gun. It's called unlimited liability, if you didn't get the brief if basic training, consider yourself lucky that you've been collecting a pay cheque for all these years...

    Liberal Minority Government 2021 - 2025

    First off, anybody painting "conservatives" of being partisan on this issue should just be smacked. It's a partisan play by the left to lower it and sure, the conservatives have a partisan interest in not having it lowered... but anyone trying to argue one party is being partisan and another is...

    Rebuild Basic Officer training: {SPLIT from:] Sexual Misconduct Allegations in The CAF

    If that's how a LCol in a Commandant position is supported, imagine being a Sect Comd or Pl Comd, or in a random staff position, and trying to do the right thing.....

    CAF improves promotion selection process, beginning with General and Flag Officers

    I think this would be a lot more useful if done to select Commanding Officers... that would obviously take more resources as there would be more people to do, but it would sort the wheat from the chaff* earlier, and from what I've seen it's when someone is in a CO position that you really see...

    CANFORGEN 168/21- New 'Inclusion' and the performance appraisal process

    To put how silly this is into perspective, just think.... if we had this in place for the past 5-10 years, the CAF would have been giving all of those people currently in hot water - such as Vance - top scores in inclusivity.

    Canadian soldier charged with feeding cannabis cupcakes to artillery unit during live-fire exercise

    Soldiers are abusing the system ... and the institution, through poor leadership, lack of resources, etc., is also abusing soldiers and has been for a long time. What came first, the chicken or the egg?

    Kenosha Shooting - split from The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    The thing that strikes me the most about the Rittenhouse trial is the lack of violence after the verdict. I guess it might be too early to say that, but it appears to me that the fact that the entire trial was televised, in other words the principles of open justice were maximized, has allowed...

    OJE FOR OCDT

    I'm gonna probably go against the grain and say it would be ideal if you could get stuck somewhere that seems completely not job-related, perhaps within your element. I'm biased towards finance* of course, but literally anything that will let you see some aspect of the RCAF that you won't get to...
