    Platoon / Troop "Must have" list

    I got the same thing, also includes UXO, ADREP, patrol report, RRR, battle procedure reminder, a couple of pages for fill in the blanks for taking orders, range card, and blank pages orders format.  Just the perfect size to fit into that Velcro pouch on the inside of your tacvest.  Oh and thin...

    US Marine Corps' website defaced by Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) hacker group

    Well that showed them ::) I've both heard about and seen these pictures at least a couple of days prior to the marine's website being hacked.  Who knows if they're legit or not.

    MS Office vs OpenOffice for the CAF & DND (From: The Defence Budget)

    The security guy in me just had a heart attack and died.  As it is, how many people do you think actually use the scrubbers like they're supposed to? Or will loose it on the bus, or in the parking lot while filled with information that shouldn't be lost.

    MS Office vs OpenOffice for the CAF & DND (From: The Defence Budget)

    But would it really be just a 1 time cost?  If MS Office is not secure and insecurities continue to popup.  It is MS that creates patches and hotfixes for its problems.  If we move to open office, who would be replace them, the CF or SSC?  What is the cost of making sure these patches and...

    Recruits of the last half decade: Fatter, dumber and less motivated than before.

    And swinging back on target. Could the fall of good applicants be more the cause of a lack of an extremely high profile mission, such as Afghanistan?  The dudes that are hard charging educated and driven, may be looking more towards industry and civy employment specifically because they don't...

    Oxfords versus boots

    Most of the people I work with have been issued them.  I've worn them to mess dinners, because I don't want to mess up my boots.  No one's harassed me about it for the past couple of years I've been doing it.

    Seaforth Armoury update & new HQ for 39 Canadian Brigade Group.

    This sounds like such a terrible idea on so many levels, it's unreal.

    Segregation in Messes

    So to get this straight.  We're talking about a normal mess for meals, and not the drinking mess? Kingston has that, and no issues there that I've seen.  They do have a little sectioned off area that I've seen foreign dignitaries use on the rare occasion.

    NSA Whistle-blower Ed Snowden

    And legal reason.  I'm sure the RCMP / CSIS / Local Police have the capability to find everything about you as well (kind of their job with wiretaps etc...), but they need a court order.  Take a look at the slides.  None of them say targeting Americans or targets on American soil.

    Censorship starts with porn

    It flew out the window when your 15 year old can stream porn on their cellphone, or on the TV built into your kitchen fridge. My biggest problem are the parents.  If you don't want your kids to watch porn, have an open discussion with them.  If they don't listen to you, you now have...

    Censorship starts with porn

    There is no filter software in the world that would protect you from that.  Porn can be posted to youtube and will stay there unless flagged down by other users.  From a filtering software point of view.  It is seen as a legitimate video file being sent from an legitimate site.  The only thing...

    Censorship starts with porn

    Kids are smart.  If properly motivated, any 15 year old and some average google-fu will quickly find a way to bypass filters rendering any law useless.

    National identity, how do you identify?

    If talking to someone abroad, I'm a Canadian.  If talking to another Canadian, I'm from Ottawa, despite being born in BC.

    Radio spectrum: a critical natural resource

    No one here said that that pic is just for you.  As many other people in the thread probably havn't been a sigop for 24+ years.

    Radio spectrum: a critical natural resource

    Ok sure, the ITU can harmonize all it want,but that just deconflicts the RF spectrum.  The problem is that we're running out of bandwidth on the parts of the spectrum already allocated for certain uses.  And we need to figure out a technological change to either better utilize the existing...
