Ok I see, but if MPO's go to CAP for advanced combat training and all that good stuff how come MP's don't do a SQ course?  And the air force and navy elements have to do CAP as well if they are MPO.  What gives?

How come MPO's go to CAP but MP's just have to do BMQ and then MP school?  It sounds flawed to me.  Can someone clarify what the scoop is.

I have always wondered in the military police if there is much room for promotion especially in the officer ranks.  I have seen a few Captains and one Major, but do the military police officers get much of a chance for advancement.  It seems like it is such a small organization within the CF...

Yes, I recognize that most major cities have counter terrorism units within their police departments but the article was talking about utilizing the entire force including just regular patrol officers.  Also, I don't think using an elite counter terrorism unit to handout flyers is the best way...

That has got to be one of the most ridiculous ideas I have heard in a while.  What a silly waste of resources!  Correct me if I'm wrong, but the police are for law enforcement not counter terrorism.  The under cover officers on busses sounds reasonable, but randomly surrounding a bank or a hotel...

RIP OCdt Burym...I didn't know him but he was in one of the other IAP platoons with me this summer.  By the way...off topic...the little saluting guy that everybody puts after their posts...he's saluting with the worng hand. :salute:

Seeing your MOC and degree plus the fact that you're UTPNCM RMC is most likely what you would be offered.  I don't know entirely how they select between civi u and RMC but from my experience at IAP training, most of the OCdt's that were in that MOC and all of the UTPNCM's were going to RMC.  I...

Thanks very much for the tips.  I don't know if I'll have time to stop by the mess but it hadn't really crossed my mind before you mentioned it.  I think I will try and stop by though.

I'm full of questions now that I start thinking about things.  Because I'm in uniform when/who/what do I have to salute?  They never taught us much about the formalities of a ceremony like this.  I don't want to look like a goof while I'm in uniform...although I am an OCdt so I'm sure some of...

Thanks for the responses.   Anyone here been to the Ottawa ceremony before?   Have any good tips on where the best place to observe from is.   What time is best to get there?   Also, because I'm a CF member, should I be anywhere in particular or is it fine just to stand among the crowd?   And...

Perhaps someone can tell me what the appropriate dress would be for this occasion.   I am ROTP...therefore I am not required to be on any sort of parade or even present at the Remembrance Day ceremony.   However, I obviously plan on attending.   Do I wear uniform (DEU's), a suit, or just casual...

Sorry if this is rude...but how come you're a full Lt and haven't done CAP yet?

It was a great presentation...90% of the attendees were in support although there were some very rude disturbances.  The CDS handled himself well.  Some moron asked him if he would resign...CDS response="No...next question (with a big grin)."  Some other dumbass asked how the CDS planned on...

Agreed...I'll tell you guys how it goes.

Tough crowd...obviously I'm not going to change clothes half way through a CDS speech to make an ass of myself.  Just joking around guys.  Seriously though...what do you guys think of wearing CF's to the speech?  If there is a chance to meet him I'd like to present myself properly.  Your thoughts?

You can bet I'm going...and I asked permission to wear uniform which I am going to wear with the pride, dignity, and the conduct of a CF officer.  I also wouldn't mind a chance to meet the CDS if possible and I wanted to present myself appropriately.  If those losers actually do disrupt his...

In response to the officer/NCM comment...I was referring to the BULK of the CF and that they work very hard for little reward.  By the way, I realize we can't shoot them all nor do I want that...they pay my salary...it would be foolish  ;).  I just don't get where they're coming from.  If you...

I like the responses here.  99% of the time I do my very best to keep the fact that I am in the military a secret at university, but it just pisses me off to no end.  I grew up in a military family, none of which were officers, so I know how hard the bulk of CF members work and the sacrifices...

Well said...I absolutely agree...but honestly...what the hell is wrong with these people?  Always making accusations and speaking about shit they don't know about.  Bugs the fuck outta me.  Sometimes I think I should have just enlisted so I could be away from all these hopeless people.  I...

I'm an ROTP civi-u student at Carleton and I am absolutely fuming at the moment.  I just thought everyone here might want to hear what all of our highly knowledgable first and second year university students think of the CDS and the CF.  Here's the deal...my school INVITED the CDS to come and...
