    6 Feb 12: Charges laid against CIC officer

    There's a gag order identifying anything about them. Thus, I can't(and wont) touch that without a ten-foot pole.

    6 Feb 12: Charges laid against CIC officer

    I can't fully answer that question properly without putting too much information out there. I don't really worry about the institution's honour/image/credibility - it is strong, it will recover, as it has done before.

    6 Feb 12: Charges laid against CIC officer

    How long does it take for an appeal to happen? I'm glad its over...........hopefully, we can all move on. It has been a challenge........not everyday that one of your co-workers ends up CM'd.

    Handheld Radios

    So after using some Cobra radios on a Cadet FTX that didn't work so well, I'm on the hunt to find some solid radios that my cadet corps can purchase for their camping trips. These were loaned - so they could have just 'died' from overuse...... I'm looking for recommendations on something...

    Future of the OPME program/Everything you ever wanted to know about OPME

    Dumb question, but I can't seem to find the form to withdraw - I managed to get myself loaded into DCE 100 in both the english and french serials and Id like to free a space up for somebody................am I totally blind (on day 7 of chasing cadets so....) or does somebody have a copy of the...

    Paintball is now a cadet approved activity but it comes with strict guidelines!

    A lot better worded. You rock - even though you made me spit my drink out over my laptop............... :)

    The Ten Commandments of RMS Clerks

    'Thou shalt realize that just because you are on Class B and don't have to worry about a regular paycheque,  that Class A pay is not important' 'Thou shalt realize that the CF is not a personal travel agency' I have been fortunate to have had some solid clerks (and even got a chance to work...

    Wearing Uniform in Public (Cadets)

    and you never know who is watching - even in Europe.  Was at a Ceremony this evening and saw an officer (and cadets) in  civis, and headdress......saluting.

    Ask a Stupid Question.

    Why is the memorial park not Canadian land (well, its owned by Canada, but is not a Canadian territory)? Because if it was, we'd have to put up a Tim Hortons (my answer ;))

    Ask a Stupid Question.

    I am a guide at Vimy Ridge.........so related to the CF (just had to add!) We have displays of information in the 'museum' area in English, French and German. A group of british girls are standing discussing one of  the panels. I realize they are trying to figure out what the third language...

    31 March 1917 - 2 CMR.

    So I've just found out my great-uncle (2CMR)  is on the monument at Vimy (and I'm a vimy guide :) ) and am trying to find out the circumstances of his death. Neither his death register or grave register are available online. His CWGC record states he died 31 March 1917, but I can't figure out...

    6 Feb 12: Charges laid against CIC officer

    Awww - as one of those staff members, I have to say this was a bright spot in a rather dark day. I'd also like to point out that your regiment has been AWESOME in supporting the Cadets (ref: the steak dinner cooked for us by suprize last overnighter!) This was my corps  and as such, my cadets...

    Queen's Diamond Jubilee Super Thread

    We didn't get the GCS. You had to be over 18, but having gone through the selection process, most of the people chosen were over 21-ish (I was.....23? I think?). Say what you will about being a timmies worker (btw, we worked other places too!) but a lot of people applied for those jobs. This...

    Medical officer specializations for advancement.

    Random question - but does age come into factor (via years of service remaining) for MMTP selection? ie - myself entering the RegF at 30.....do my initial years (say, 10), enter medical school at 40, graduate at 46 and then have 14 years til CRA....vice say, a young'un who applies at age 30 for...

    Canadian (Junior) Rangers: Not JUST in remote First Nations anymore!

    I got to work writing and researching content once for the JCRs. I spent most of the day going 'wow', 'cool', 'they did this', 'what a neat program'. I was much impressed!

    BFT for CIC Officers.

    yeah - and the young 'fit' ones end up doing most of the active work ....all....the....time.... I had an exercise planned last year that involved a long hike backpacking into a campsite. It was frowned upon by some officers becaucse they weren't fit enough to do it  :'( I ain't the fittest...

    Mental Health: Help line

    Mich's little rant.......... I recently was diagnosed with (mild) depression, and it became apparent at how ill equiped and stigmatizing the Cadet side of the military is with dealing with it, for class A reservists at least..... stigmatized, 'hidden away', removed from parading, rumors...

    Disclosure of Medical Information to CO's

    Don't worry, didn't break any laws ;) and no cadets were harmed during the summer (although..........I almost lmost stabbed the XO with my sword one day, but he got over it, apparently the navy salutes differently and he stood too close!). I was expecting to do a new medical (figured I'd have to...
