    Good Physical fitness in all areas except Pull ups

    Sounds like you're on the right track so just keep at it and don't get discouraged. It won't happen overnight and there is no secret to making it happen faster, except diet (what and how much you eat) and exercise. You'll get there.

    Looks like a WWI Victory Medal

    Troop Level Decrease

    This is just Hillier talking, the same guy who had the great idea to create four new operational level HQs (take from the tooth, add to the tail)... you know, the failed experiment that we're currently trying to reverse. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the PM is on record as saying he...

    RCAF Leather Jacket (merged discussion and mocking)

    Actually, I wasn't joking at all... it's coming.

    RCAF Leather Jacket (merged discussion and mocking)

    I'd be willing to bet that part of the reason there are no metal rank devices for this jacket yet is because in the coming months the AF will announce it is changing its rank nomenclature (and insignia) back to the old RCAF (current RAF) ranks... wait for it... wait for it...  :)

    Armed Forces Consider incentives to keep soldiers fit

    I understand the point you're trying to make, but I think you're over generalizing just a tad. I know some really fit guys who are dumber than a bag of hammers and are quite content to do the bare minimum within their trade. Conversely, I know some minimum-fitness types who are smarter than the...

    "Thousands of Veterans to receive voluntary one-time payment"

    A.k.a. damage control (and a poor attempt at that).

    CAF international bases, staging areas, and fighting formations

    Decision to move had nothing to do with "airflow" or "tempo" so not sure I follow your point... unless you're just simply adding commentary.

    CAF international bases, staging areas, and fighting formations

    Not necessarily. In fact, the first proof-of-concept Hub which was initially established at a USAF base in Germany, has since been moved to the commercial airport at Koln-Bonn for various reasons.

    light brown shirt and trousers?

    Wore it in the Golan Heights many years ago, except I couldn't bring myself to wear the shorts and knee-high socks. Would rather sweat my n*** off.

    Postings, career managers and budget cuts!

    I don't have numbers but other than being able to fund the mandatory moves i.e. initial postings off trade training, OUTCAN, etc, it's pretty bleak... or as a particular CM stated in an email to me today, "it's ridiculous".

    Women in U.S. infantry (USMC, Rangers, etc. - merged)

    I agree (was being a little tongue-in-cheek earlier). Providing incentive, as with anything in life, is never a bad thing, especially if it's meaningful. If you could find a way to financially incentivize it (which you probably can't), that would motivate some. Others, I'm sure, would prefer the...

    Women in U.S. infantry (USMC, Rangers, etc. - merged)

    Will we get more shiny pins to put on our DEU? I'll lift those sandbags an extra six inches if I can get a shiny pin  :)

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    "I don't think the ferocity of the mission perhaps dawned on even military leaders, let alone political leaders of two different governments," --- former MND Peter McKay speaking about Afghanistan.

    The Land Operations Temperate Boots (LOTB)

    I agree 100%. Blow out a zipper in the middle of nowhere, or anywhere where replacements aren't readily available, and you're pretty much up s*** creek. Bust a lace anywhere, anytime and you'll still be able to fix it rather easily.

    The Land Operations Temperate Boots (LOTB)

    They look a little short, especially the lighter coloured one. Gonna need longer pants  :(
