    Mess Regulations

    I'm guessing that it wouldn't have mattered what you did, you'd be buying a round.  All kinds of rules and traditions come out of the woodwork when free beer is involved.

    Building Better Officers (merged)

    Only read the exec summary, but this is not much different that what we already do.  Is it a necessary evil?  Maybe, but I don't think so.  We do the same thing with NCMs too.  The big pitfall I see is if the operational and enterprise staff stovepipe their own efforts to avoid friction with...

    Expres Hand Grip Test

    A quick Google of your size and weight produces this.  MMA Fighter Dominic Cruz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominick_Cruz Do you think he would be unfit for the CAF? Your inefficiency at grip strength may have to do with your technique.  The power in your hand is in your fingers, near the...

    CANFORGEN on Pay and PIL

    1000 a week?  Unacceptable!!!  What are they doing taking breaks, eating and/or sleeping? Let's see... 1000/wk/5/day/wk/8hr/day/60min/hr= 0.42/min or 2min 23sec/file.  Unacceptable!!! I am sure then can do better.  Who is writing their PER?

    What does a 2IC REALLY do?

    That doesn't surprise me.  I remember the first time I read the PER writing guide.  The examples for criteria justifying an MOI to MCpl would have been hard pressed for CWO to pull off.

    What does a 2IC REALLY do?

    The Pt 1 PDR for all 2ICs no matter what your job should be consistent throughout your corps.  If it is not than someone isn't dong it right.  If it is not, they would have no baseline to compare you against your peers.  I would reason that all 2IC PDRs up to and including 2IC of the unit i.e...

    Close Combat Vehicle: Canada to buy another AFV (& keeping LAV III & TLAV)

    Perceived is good choice of words.  We knew we needed something, we just weren't sure what, other than something better.  At the time, it would have been difficult to communicate those ideas expediently, hence the lengthy process of identifying capability gaps and writing requirements to fill...

    Mortars: 51 mm, 60 mm, 81 mm, 120 mm & more

    I wouldn't have used the word zenith.  I can think of plenty of improvements still.  Are these guys hiring?

    The Anglosphere

    I'd like to say that I agree with the writer, but it was so long winded I'm not so sure.  The writer doesn't prove my hypothesis that the reason the English language is successful is because of its conciseness.  His writing style reminds me of my issues and complaints with mil writing, where it...

    Questions about Artillery NCM duties and career progression

    Gagetown is bilingual, and you will have an advantage there.  If you are looking for something entirely new, go to Shilo.  Even though it is geographically in the center of Canada, you are a fairly close (12 hrs) to places like Calgary and Edmonton, and the Rockies, which are all pretty awesome.

    Questions about Artillery NCM duties and career progression

    That's not true.  The persons who have been there and hate it probably never gave it fair shake or wouldn't be happy anywhere. It also may hold true as a myth for people that have never been there, but there are plenty of people that love Shilo and consider it home; and no, they are not...

    Questions about Artillery NCM duties and career progression

    For social life, which I am assuming you are asking about, Shilo isn't much different than Pet.  In fact Shilo may have an advantage as Brandon is a decent size city, where Pet has Pembroke which is much smaller.  For nearest big cities, Ottawa is better than Winnipeg.  For climate, Shilo...

    Close Combat Vehicle: Canada to buy another AFV (& keeping LAV III & TLAV)

    While Nexter is correct in their analysis of the 6.0, the hole in their argument is that their proposal doesn't meet it either; it only comes closer. I tend to agree with your reasoning to put the money in the 6.0.  The investment in the 6.0 would probably produce the most net gain vs. the...

    Close Combat Vehicle: Canada to buy another AFV (& keeping LAV III & TLAV)

    Just to back it up a bit and bring context.  There has been some back and forth leading up to this, between the writers Byers and Webb and Nexter's Mike Duckworth. The recent back and forth started with this. ...
