Thanks

Can you or someone post some of the details so I can get the broad idea of it. University courses are something I want to pursue this time around. I should be back in the army any day now, though they've been saying that for awhile now.

This actually sounds like a good investment

I was intrigued until he totally downplayed the role of Ian Fleming's commandos...

That works for me

Now that's a qual that will get you promoted

As for courses not on the list... That are relevant and taken at private training facilities in the states. Can they be put your mprr or will the certificate be attatched? As I am planning on taking some more courses. Note it is a facility already utilized by the CF. I'll ask my unit clerk, if...

The states buys stealth choppers and Canada "buys" stealth snowmobiles. I hope they don't come in handy in the next war. Because that would mean that we got invaded and or we're fighting in some god forsaken frozen desert.

I thought that diversity thing was a myth!? Call me crazy but isn't true equality when everyone is held to the same standards. Regardless of sex or race? Do we not want the most qualified people? O sorry I forgot. Our government views us as a social welfare program that they can abuse to...

New plan http://youtu.be/d76CwsWbV2E

So a quick background on me 3 years previous service (fully trade qualified, no tours, quite a few courses), 4b release, attempted to join British military, didn't work out now I'm in the process of getting back in. Applied mid march, was told to expect late May for an offer. Sadly I believed...

So it may turn out that cutting a battalion is more appropriate... But who needs teeth when you have a long tail!?

I just read a summary about it... It's a little out of date. It was on track for awhile though.

Is there a thread or open source website that states what capabilities the government wants from us? Or what we want from ourselves? Or is there no clear defined goals for us, aside from being a re-election tool?

Flaker: trying to change the CF into a leaner meaner fighting machine is like trying to make something from nothing (an act of god). There are professionals but the bureauracy you would have to navigate through would require the rank of CDS while willing to commit career suicide. What you can...

FUBAR... A lot of that going around

Someone probably used big words and sounded smart while everyone sat around nodding their heads. (edited for correct use of their) I was the one that wanted to know why a degree was required... I should have never asked. I think some essays, problem solving tests both hands on and written...

When I was at 3vp section pt was often the norm, if not the platoon varied it. Often letting privates lead a pt as long as it was approved. (privates with mods 1-5) We ran on Fridays whether it was as a company or platoon. With the odd run during the week. Crossfit has largely made itself part...

Go back in there and and demand to know why! Ok, ask politely. And if they ask why you want to know. Tell them you are wondering how to become more competitive. My experience with recruiting centers has been extremely poor. And it's taken a lot of "insisting" on my behalf to get things moving...

I concur the army wants to tell us what to do, and the politicians want to think for us...
