    Religion in the Canadian Forces & in Canadian Society

    Honestly, it seems to me you think cohesion is built by denying your mates the solace of their belief system so you don't get seen in public with them.

    And that, my good sir, is what I'm afraid of.

    Multiculturalism or Melting Pot Discussion- Merged

    I cannot fathom people who insist that the country they immigrate to transform into this mythical version of the place that exists only in their mind (and perhaps some party's policy documents)... the [whatever] Republic of Canada. I'm totally respectful of people that say: oh, you celebrate...

    Agreed.  Heck, I'm hoping the "instil values" is implemented something like an upgrade from "stimulate interest". Well I guess it all comes down to: (a) the mechanisms / methodologies used to instil the values. The Core Military Values of Duty, Loyalty, Integrity and Courage give considerable...

    Or maybe that Ipsos-Reid poll back in 2006 was correct, predicting that distancing the program from its CAF affiliations was undesirable as that's what attracted / retained many cadets.

    Well, I'm a little troubled by the absence of promoting an interest in the activities of the CAF... but, the five principles seem to be a huge step in the right direction with the inclusion of instilling Canadian Military Values.  Mind you, I believe that that particular objective is not new and...

    North Korean Kit

    OK IMHO and admittedly stepping way, way outside my lane here.....  I'd imagine three things: 1. they do have a small portion of their military kitted out with modern gear but not distributed widely enough to encourage a coup or black market re-distribution 2. a number of staff types have avowed...

    DND Report for motor vehicle accident - does anyone have an electronic copy?

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    OK disregard my post above.  Managed to get on the DWAN last night long enough to track down the handbook for online reporting.

    Well....:stirpot: I will concede that in the event of a zombie apocalypse air cadets with their combination of baby-step quick march + large brains do promise to be an asset for my survival. ;D

    Army Reserve Recognition Day

    Anyway, to answer the OP: no, I didn't hear it was Reserve Recognition day and didn't see any sign of an announcement by DND amidst the other announcements this week. Now going against the grain here, and self-pronouncements of big 'nads aside, since the day's not really talking about people...

    Army Reserve Recognition Day

    Yes NDHQ hoped it would be a welcome change from AFV Recognition... and since we couldn't come up with flashcards or a powerpoint we made it easier and asked them to dress all the same. OK? So if you think you've recognized one, just point and yell!  DS will be by shortly to confirm your...

    WRT to your observations, the cadet program has seen a (potential) increase in military familiarization with the introduction of a mandatory PO dedicated to the subject, which is essentially bringing back content updated from the 1970s / pre-handbook program such as organization and roles of the...

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    Yeah that was my first thought.... but wouldn't that be worn with the kilt? Maybe he's only half-Scottish from the waist-up? Anyway, like I said, odd accoutrement but it's hardly a smoking gun of waltdom.
