So you’re proposing the CAF invest money in someone to get them BMQ qualified, pay them for three years to do GD work, then pay for their education when they release even though at no point have they ever been trade qualified and therefore not really that useful in the grand scheme of things? ...

I think just by virtue of the size and nature of the CAF you will always have retention issues. Having said that....the organization doesn’t always help itself.  I was once an incredibly proud soldier who put the CAF first.  These days I’ve realized it has no loyalty to me and thus I have no...

Parents of recruits calling?!  I’d ask if you’re serious....but sadly I know you are.

MPs can already lateral to the RCMP as it is.

Just a piece of friendly advice here.  Your name implies you’re already an MP however your post clearly indicates you aren’t.  Assuming you’re not in the CAF you’re name states you’re an MP (which you aren’t) and in the CAF itself (which you may not be either). Not many people around here are...

So RMC expects the OCdts to, as future officers, report wrongdoing by peers etc.  Some OCdts bring forward an issue to the CoC and the CoC in turn hammers everyone. Probably makes those OCdts less likely to report wrongdoing in the future.

I have a fair bit of experience in the TASO world and while I can’t speak to why it’s been historically an MP taksing, I can say the job itself could certainly be done by the combat arms.  In reality the bread and butter of TASO is essentially 5s and 20s and then watching arcs.  If the infantry...

Well it seems we’ve hit a stalemate.  You quite obviously think I have nothing better to do than make up grandiose stories and that’s your prerogative. In your world a Base Duty Officer being told at 3am to contact my supervisor in the morning is more than sufficient and they are always more...

It would seem you’re taking some of my quotes out of context here. I am not saying higher ranks do not have a place and a purpose within the day to day procedures of the MP’s.  What I am saying is there is a time and place as well as a need to know.  In this particular instance this LCol was...

I will agree with your statement we do have Cpl’s who tend to think they are more than they are, however those tend to be younger direct entries who haven’t quite grasped the fact that they have the unique challenge of policing within the military.  They will learn the hard way eventually...

I’m all for it.  Nothing frustrates me more than when the trade spews this illusion that we are free from influence from the CAF CoC because it’s hogwash. I’m more referring to the CAF higher ups who would be VERY unhappy if they lose their sphere of influence over internal policing because I...

People are quick to slag the MP branch for doing substandard work but a lot of the times it isn’t necessarily us (although we certainly have our deficiencies).  I can’t count the number of times I’ve investigated something, found no grounds to recommend a charge, annotate that in my report, only...

Now I know this is going to open a can of worms but I’m going to offer my opinion on this.  Using Afghanistan as an example, the only people who got to benefit from the morale visits were those in KAF, who by battle group standards had a very high quality of life.  It could actually be construed...

Just save the tax payer money and scrap VIP “morale” visits altogether. I didn’t get to see, meet, play ball hockey etc. with any “famous” people while overseas nor did anyone else from my squadron, or many from the battle group at all for that matter and I don’t think any of us cried ourselves...

Oh is that what that is?  Lol guess I need to become a bit more emoji savvy

I honestly can’t tell if you’re being serious.....

I assume you haven't done an mpac yet and if that's the case you also have to factor in how long it can take to get onto one.  If you walk into an mpac maybe a year from now and tell them you're unemployed and have made no effort to find work since school.....not exactly top notch marketing of...

After watching that video.....I guess I was just in way better shape back then cause it certainly didn't seem like it weighed THAT much. Getting old sucks

I find the statement the average British infantry soldier is carrying 110lbs a little far fetched. On foot patrols I had FFO, 10 mags, M203 rounds, grenades, TCCC kit, water, and a small pack with extra ammo etc. and it wasn't anywhere close to 110lbs. What are these guys carrying?!

In such a small world they obviously know each other well.  Because knowing someone well means you either like or dislike said person, to me it's a conflict of interest either way if this goes to CM. Judges lambaste police officers all the time when they perceive a conflict of interest (such as...
