    Wearing an Ancestor's Medals Mega-thread

    I'd be willing to bet that had these two young men been wearing their ancestor's medals at a similar ceremony in Canada, nothing would have come of it, other than maybe someone pointing it out to them after the fact. I think the law is mostly concerned with folks wearing honors and awards and...

    04 June 2014: Shootings in Moncton NB, Three RCMP dead

    Not sure, but "having access to" is inadequate if you don't "have it" when you need it. And since you're never sure when you'll need it, you'd best have it with you instead of having to go get it.

    04 June 2014: Shootings in Moncton NB, Three RCMP dead

    Now may not be the time but, seeing all the pictures and videos of police officers sheltering behind their vehicles with only their sidearms and the odd shotgun here and there, I can't help but think that something is wrong with that picture... both from an officer safety as well as a public...

    04 June 2014: Shootings in Moncton NB, Three RCMP dead

    Three officers confirmed dead and two others injured. Sickening.

    Bowe Bergdahl: Missing in AFG 2009, Released 2014, Tried 2015

    Read an interview recently where the producer said there's no way he's coming back. In fact, he said they had been looking for a way to get rid of him since the end of season 1. But I guess you never know.

    Bowe Bergdahl: Missing in AFG 2009, Released 2014, Tried 2015

    Got it... and I was only kidding about Brady being hanged at the end of season 3  ;D

    Bowe Bergdahl: Missing in AFG 2009, Released 2014, Tried 2015

    I believe the CIA chick is still on board for season 4... Damien Lewis is not though, given his character was hanged in the final episode of season 3.

    University VS Army

    Your accounting courses will likely help you perform your job as an RMS clerk, but they will not get you any further ahead of your peers by and of themselves. Complete your degree, and you may have other options available to you for advancement should you wish to pursue them.

    Judge Advocate General has gone 3 years without filing reports to Def Minister

    It is written in law. We are all duty bound to comply with laws, none more so than the JAG I should think. It is significantly more than "simply procedural". Whether the report is a waste of time or not is not JAG's decision to make. (I have 0 years of law school and I'm not interested in a...

    Judge Advocate General has gone 3 years without filing reports to Def Minister

    I wish I could ignore everything that I'm legally required to do without fear of reprisal from above. Well, I guess we're only talking military justice... can't be that important.

    Senator Dallaire retiring from Senate

    To have the courage of one's convictions to deal with the moral imperatives is an increasingly rare quality. It certainly wasn't in abundance within the PCO, NDHQ or UNNY in 1994.

    Senator Dallaire retiring from Senate

    Such as? I'm not challenging you, but I have to admit that I am honestly at a loss to understand what it is about his senate service, or his using his experiences from Rwanda to advance issues of common good for humanity, that is upsetting to people or makes him so dislikable.

    Senator Dallaire retiring from Senate

    I met then-MGen Dallaire in Nairobi having flown him out of Kigali at the end of his tour in Aug 94. I would not want to have walked 5 ft in his shoes knowing full well what he and his staff experienced during their time in UNAMIR. I truly wish him well.

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    Not entirely correct (though you can't go wrong by following this advice). The bottom line is, if your FORCE test was successfully completed not more than 365 before the date of the board, it is still current and you are G2G as far as the board is concerned. So, for example, if you successfully...

    Feds hit with $30M judgment for bid rigging (Brookfield)

    Big mistake leaving Amex... I personally never had a hitch with them all these years (though I'm sure they didn't get it right everytime). I was told several years ago by someone in the know that Amex was prepared to give DND a free online booking tool/capability, providing everyone with the...
