He also should look at how reg force recce was employed on tour....a recce squadron should not have it's own AO and be employed as a infantryish type group (i.e we need a company here...send recce sqn). Our tour recce...didnt do recce. And there was plenty of times we needed/could have used the...

So the question should be "how do we ensure the BG commander know how to employ his recce elements on the battlefield."

I'm not surprised that VAC didnt jump into action to help after their mistake cost this man his home. However with all the press this has gotten; where are the 10 branches of the RCL in his home county of Westmoorland-Albert? Could this not fall in under the half million allotted to...

Not an issue. Check it before you hand it over. Sounds like an excellent job for the Adjt to task those young LT's to do.

Well when your crew gets the coin at a pde without you..the command team tends to haul you aside to tell you why.

Then there's the fact it's only a medal. My gunner got some CEFCOM commanders coin for an action we did overseas. I was told I was getting something else and it was going up higher. I didn't get squat. Being 3 years ago now I have zero expectation of ever getting anything for it.

I'm not. This was an issue when I was back at the regiment. Only with certain groups. The admin Sgt should have got the duty roster months ago; and most likely didn't do his job with picking someone a few weeks ago and notifying them. Leadership fail, no one will fry for it anymore being half...

I usually roll my eyes when I hear of somebody suing. In this case I would get one of those angry lawyers and sue for every penny I could. Blame me for murder and compare me to that retard Williams...it would put me over the top.

Soldiers should never have a doubt in the back of their mind when they roll out on operation. regardless of commitment to our country and our lad's the last thing a soldier should be thinking about is his lack of benefits. When you know your family will be taken care of and you will be treated...

Bang on!

Talk to your peer's see if anyone is in the area to take your duty. Fill out appropriate paperwork for change of duty if applicable. Talk to your SSM.

Couldn't agree more. Nothing more demoralizing to a healthy soldier watching his friends fighting the government after tour. Makes you question things your doing that's for certain.

Did the veterans Bill of rights end up in the Omnibus bill? http://www.pm.gc.ca/eng/media.asp?id=1610 Harper is pro military; just not fond of those pesky veterans.

I dunno how the heck someone can be in the military and be racist. I like fire team partners regardless of their colour...as long as they can shoot. I actually seen the most racist things coming out of NDHQ with stupid things like "Asian" month and my favorite aboriginal month. I had comedy...

Glad to be able to help. Anything else feel free to ask.

We have base full of engineers; I'm certain a wire fence could be erected. No point of armed people who sit at the front gate while people walk across the south side with impunity. A fence would be a good start point. I.E Gagetown, Petawawa.

I personally enjoyed German base security. It was provided by Siemens with armed uniform guards at all gates. Total gate coverage around the base and roaming security with dogs. We had a few lads jump the fence on the way back from town. The dogs tracked them to the shacks. Luckly the guard and...

Thanks for the clarification.

I've sent this tidbit of the ministers "we will not challenge" along a few channels. Hopefully the people I've emailed already know and are getting ready to end this mess. We will see.
