If they guard the Colours like how they play, the Colours will be lost.

That is correct.  If I were to use the word 'reserve', the reply back would have been, "we do not have reservist spots for MOTP".  My point was that we should bring back reserve spots at Universities. 

This is a great move by the CAF.  Now, time to bring back the paid medical student spots at universities.

This is old school C'A'F thinking.  While there are several who think and feel this way - across all CAF trades - there are others who disagree with the above statement.  I can see the value in having a civilian conduct academic research, planning, and logistics. Just because one does not wear a...

The environmental incentive? Budget 2016 provided $16.4M for Phase 1 of the Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative. Upon successful completion in March 2018, this initial investment will result in over 100 new publicly accessible electric vehicle fast...

Interesting, I'm assuming you have never been posted to Cold Lake.  There are outlets to plug your car into - think winter and cold weather.  I can say for sure that this energy cost nothing to the member.

Not sure if that is a good indicator. There use to be a Bank of Montreal on every base.  At one time only CAF members were allowed to shop at CANEX.  Air force dress uniforms use to be tan colour. I'm sure there is no correlation between the above or past Shell stations on bases and the...

I'm considering buying an EV.  Any idea if there is a plan in place to have charging stations on bases?

If I were in your position, I would tell the future employer during the hiring process that I have an active application with the CAF.  If the CAF were to offer me a position, I will have to leave this new job.  Most employers will appreciate your transparency.

Return the kit.

Fear vs economic indicators.  According to the CIA World Fact Book, Canada has a Gross National Saving rate of 19.9%. Source: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ca.html In fact, the government of the day has tried to decrease the savings rate by lowering the...

rchapelas, could you please describe what you believe are the main duties of an infantry soldier and a mobile support operator.  Also, could you please explain the skills and traits required for the above mentioned trades.

It is difficult to get into a PhD program at any university with a professional Master degree.  This is partly due to most professional Master are course based and not thesis based.  While there is a directed research option with the MDS, most universities would not consider this option as...

Could you please show me this fine print. In Canada, the Senate of an University has legal authority to grant degrees.  In the case of CFC / RMC it is federal authority from the Royal Military College of Canada Degrees Act, 1959. The Master of Defense Studies is an accredited degree, however...

It would be more likely - due to national and provincial research dollars - that an university or hospital would be interested in the correlation between Veterans and Parkinson.  For reference: http://www.ohri.ca/prc/

I would tend to agree.  Back in the early 90's there were 90 000 reg force members.  We now stand at less than 68 000.  While all three elements saw reductions, the Air Force and the Navy were hit harder. 

May I ask what is your current rank?

I strongly believe that we should be teaching financial management as part of BMOQ.  Leaders need to understand how finances affects her / his troops.
