You guys are brutal. How is that flippant? If anything, it was a compliment of the difficult expectations​ you guys are facing. You should be taking advice from Arty guys, we're the ones that truly appreciate your work. In today's climate, those simpler tasks need to be absorbed by all...

You guys should get rid of Sig Op outright. Is that even a skill when matched up against your other tasks/expectations? Talking on a radio and basic trouble shooting is a skill that any soldier can learn, some learn it very quick... others can be taught numerous times and they never get it...

Anyone ever wondered why it takes so long to get stuff? There are 3 desirables of procurement, but you only get to pick 2 of them: 1. Quality 2. Price 3. Speed of delivery The 1994 paper makes a lot of sense to those who have been in long enough. "Affordable"+"consultation"="Decade of Darkness".

Let's put spending at the tactical level and see how that goes! :D

Another good article. Even though the Conservative's more rational motion was shot down, it seems the Government doesn't have the stronghold they assumed. Perhaps more rational heads will prevail after all...

How do you enforce condemnation? With our existing laws I presume. You are correct that the Libs are playing politics, as long as they don't try to continue to silence their opposition, it shouldn't completely blow up in their face. If they play these games much longer, I predict they will lose...

So if we are condemning Islamophobia, and the Toronto mayor and other politicians are stating that a protest outside a mosque is Islamophobic, what does that mean? That they are condemned (whatever than means)? http://www.cknw.com/2017/02/17/275215/ I watched the first debate and have read a...

DPICM and what you said. That takes a lot of koolaid!

The most efficient way to beat mass armor with artillery takes public will to do so. We already had that solution during Cold War, and could go back to it if the will is there. PGMs aren't the solution, unless you want to buy us a few hundred guns and lots of SUAVs. 😁 Edited to add: A couple...

The PDR is for the position, not the person. If persons are distorting that, they are wrong. Some mods are required as the position evolves, but should be minimal and not favour or hinder the person in the position. Ironically, the intent of the PDR/PER system was to enable objectiveness and...

The Blackjack. It is bigger than ScanEagle and is arguably in a grey area. There is still plenty or regulation and training to iron out. Here's a relevant article.  http://www.vanguardcanada.com/2014/12/30/persistent-eye-sky/

Sadly, there is some truth in this. Is a gun salute an actual task? There are plenty of people that would say yes. Perhaps when the C3 is truly retired (many years from now), we will keep a few around for this. Or maybe we should go truly classic and use a 25 pdr or 75mm? C3 replacement is...

Good for you for taking on this complex topic. Very current, relevant and has plenty of future application. Go Arty, we got some bigger UAS coming are way in the near future. My first impression is that you are too smart for us anyway, but you could use us a stepping stone. :) Cheers,

Very cool stuff. The potential and theoretical that our our scientific minds come up with is practically endless, but without anyone flipping the bill for production and R&D, and no actual commitment or requirements coming from any army, these amazing ideas will remain in wait, or at least...

This thread is getting away from C3, but rest assured our gryo and GPS skills are solid. Old Sweat, rest assured, a modern gyro spins up in much less than an hour!  :)

I would agree that you won't be challenged intellectually as an NCM, mostly at the Jnr level. As you move up there is more opportunity to challenge yourself intellectually, but run the risk of being stigmatized as a nerd that lacks leadership. As mentioned, there are NCM jobs that are...

Procurement simplified in 7 easy steps. 1. Identify what the CF requires. 2. Convince treasury board that this is a priority. 3. Assure public works you are procuring fairly. 4. Settle contract with suppliers. 5. Deliver requirement with training. 6. Convince CF that this is what they required...

Another great quote.

Cool thread! I'll give it go at adding. 1.  Experts notice features and meaningful patterns of information that are not noticed by novices. They also recall persons of interest and encourage collaborative discussion. 2.  Experts have acquired a great deal of content knowledge that is...

Go Arty, where you will learn Infantry and Comms skills, and work your way towards Int.  :salute: Edited to add: Firing a 100lb projectile 10km high and 20km long and making a target go boom is kind of cool too!  :nod:
