Well, I guess the Army, BG or TF should be a flexible entity adapting to the situation or mission. Isn't that a successful way to approach a mission in order to be successful? Now, does the CofC in theater recognize this equipment need? If yes, do they have the latitude to address this kind of...

Depuis quand exactement, je ne me rappelle pas. Mais depuis l'été 2005 je crois. BFC Borden a mis sur pied un détachement de l'ELRFC St-Jean. Les QMB réserve se donnent à peu près partout au Canada, mais pour la régulière, c'est BFC St-Jean et Borden. P.S.: petite correction, c'est Esquimalt. ;)

Pour la régulière: le QMB/BMQ se donne à St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, au Québec, ET à BFC/CFB Borden, en Ontario; le IAP/BOTC (cours élémentaire d'officier) se donne à St-Jean-sur-Richelieu seulement. Pour les autres cours, ça dépend du métier. Les écoles ont été mentionnées ci-dessus.

Now, it's pretty disgusting. The court failed to correct the situation! :( What kind of message does that send to other military members breaking the law?? >:( You know what? There won't even be a scandal. There's one in my mind. And that guy should spend 1 month up in DB, no matter what his...

Le temps est différent pour chacun. Quand tu es directement sélectionné(e), ça veut dire que ton dossier est complet, envoyé à Ottawa pour la sélection, et mise sur la liste de mérite. Cette liste est la liste des candidats dont le dossier est complet pour un métier. Le fait de ne pas tenir de...

Well, who said medias are that responsible? I'm everyday more aware that some reporters/writers/analysts would write about a subject with leaving so dark corner alone, unsaid. Willingly or not. Now, Army.ca would definitely a good place to learn a lot if I ever was a defence analyst/writer. As...

That's a nice one! ;D How about that? Is the possibility of Canadian soldiers being killed in Afghanistan worth the cost of crashing our exportation revenue AND probably your job when the US close their border and shutting off 85% of our exportation as a result of multiple attacks on US and...

That is true. Read what kincanucks wrote! >:(

Here's an interesting article from the CBC Viewpoint section. http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_robertson/20060228.html The men and women of the CF are truly the brand of our armed forces. Making a difference should be the main drive of any recruiting campaign. Many who join the military...

I also feel like an officer in a unit commanding position (especially as Pl./Coy leader) has to perform equal or above the average of troops fitness under him. On top of that, he has to perform intellectually which under major physical constraints (ie. sleep deprivation, situation awareness in...

The problems started when the Senate decided to abolish the conscription/mandatory service in the Roman army. From there onwards, the Romans (hear people) have been more and more disconnected with the army and it's purpose (see links with contemporary situation?). The other thing is that...

It does not add to the complexity of the recruiting problem. It adds other workable options. It's true enough that landed immigrants will have endless pre-security clearance, which in turn would discourage them from joining. The other option is present in the UK military with 500£ when a recruit...

Télé-Québec Canada : grand pays, petite influence? Grand pays. Ça, c'était jadis, à une époque lointaine, quand le Canada était respecté pour son pacifisme actif, pour l'implication de ses Casques bleus dans de nombreuses missions de paix. Aujourd'hui, le Canada est un grand pays parmi...

Le test de cardio consiste essentiellement à monter et descendre trois marches en bois sur un rythme (donc à une vitesse donnée). On prend ta pression avant le test, pendant le test et deux fois après le test. Selon ton poids, ta taille et ta pression sanguin, on calcule ta capacité VO2max...

Coming from Quebec, RCMP patrolling is completely foreign for me (I think they are present only at the border). As far as I know, it's the provincial police or a regrouping of a few cities/towns police force that patrol small town and rural areas. And I think it's very logical. I have always...

Because, as I see it, military personnel (at least in the combats arms), are athletes specialized in armed operation. What athletes do? Strive for the best results. Requirements are kind of perverse in a way, it tells you that upon reaching some point, you're ok. More importantly is attitude in...

To add to the discussion, here's a Maclean's article I read 3 weeks ago: http://www.macleans.ca/topstories/canada/article.jsp?content=20060130_120538_120538 It is a very interesting read.

The article seems to be contradictory to me. Are they or aren't they reliable. Is there such a deep schism between this major and his troops that they say one thing and its contrary? I understand that waves won't crawl up the mountain, but still buying the Falcon II radios just before this...
