So because KAF was in fact a cushy go, that somehow minimizes the work people did there?  Not sure how you took that away from my post.  While you’re quick to throw out my “air of superiority” you just demonstrated quite the inferiority complex here. Further, while I’m not going to flat out say...

If you want to be a Mountie why not just apply to the Mounties?  They are taking basically anyone these days

One time when I went back to KAF for the night, Pizza Hut was out of pizzas. Hardest moment of deployment for me........ On a a serious note, I’ve had more, than a few conversations with people who’ve been overseas and did not know I had deployed.  Interestingly enough, the biggest war stories...

Now admittedly I know very little on the subject, but my understanding is a transgendered individual is on quite a bit of absolutely necessary medication?  How does the CAF get said medication into the country country if that country doesn’t allow it?  Even in Iraq and Kuwait everything we bring...

I wasn’t given the option which I pay into.....it was Jr Ranks or Jr Ranks. We get it....you likely talked yourself into cells one night and now the big bad MPs shouldn’t be allowed near you. This thread has become less than pointless. We pay into the Jr Ranks and can therefore attend Jr...

We have an MP “mess” here......but guess what?  I pay into the Jr Ranks not the MP one....and it’s been like that at every base I’ve been to. Sorry you don’t like us playing in your little playground.....but it’s ours too so get over yourself.

I pay my mess dues the same as you. 

I’ve been on winter warfare exes with the regiment (not THAT long ago) that were colder.  That one year in Ramore when it was like -52 with the windchill comes to mind, and we didn’t have any cold related casualties that I can recall in any winter ex ever. What I can see being the issue here...

Devils advocate.......none of us here know what information has been gleaned from this investigation. It’s easy to say the officers should be in jail etc.....but we don’t know what, if any, their involvement was. I can only assume it was the CO who was relieved of command....but as for other...

I agree with you....but the trade will have the same problems as the MP’s.  People join to get experience and courses with zero intention of staying for a career, meaning the CAF lacks experienced leadership in the trade as well as having to constantly pay to train new people. So like I said...

The reality for this new cyber trade is they can lower the fitness, deployment, whatever standards all they want.  Until they start paying their people commensurate to their skill level etc. they will always have issues hiring and retaining people. Take a look at the MP’s.  They can’t keep up...

With the money these guys can make for cyber warfare skills civvie side.....rest assured they will likely make more than us....not less.

When it comes to the combat arms, culture is a HUGE part of it, which you have admitted you aren’t versed in.  The reality of a combat arms regiment, battalion, company, platoon etc. is that it is very much an “alpha (fe)male” world there and weakness or perceived weakness is usually pounced on...

If you think troops don’t notice when their officer is not physically fit, you are sadly mistaken.

And how do you know you’re “more deserving” than others who are loaded onto their 5s before you?  Unless that entire course comes from your det and you know for a fact you’re “more deserving” all I’ve seen here is nothing but arrogant speculation coming from you. Also.....a QL3 calling other...

Apparently they do if you’re a cop killer struggling with what you did.

Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this.  Today I received notification I’m receiving “five-fifths for service in a Special Duty Service (SDA Afghanistan and surrounding area)” but they don’t elaborate on exactly what that means.  Anyone able to decipher that before I have to goto the VAC...

Well it would seem at this point I have to disagree with the comment “it’s not about getting it done.”  If Ottawa has decided you have to redo SQ then it most certainly is about “getting it done.” I’m not saying OJE’s don’t learn a few things.  What I am saying, however, is what you learn may...

Why?  OJE isn’t beneficial to you as it serves to teach you habits the academy probably won’t be fond of. The only purpose OJE serves is to justify giving you a pay check.  I don’t mean to put you or any OJE’s down but the fact of th matter is at this point you’re nothing more than a liability...

I understand this is American, but I find it interesting their research indicates younger soldiers put an emphasis on comraderie and social aspects considering everytime I walk through shacks they are playing video games and not talking to each other.
