    The lowest bidder is ... in prison

    an  Idea -( not that I support prisoners having all rights ala the charter, or even being paid with my money) why not for petty crimes - like robbery etc - be a part of their sentence that they must successfully complete community servcie ala the military before any talks of release. Not only...

    Excuse my ignorance but, how can the Forces be evolving into something when it doesn't have clearly defined policies to follow, more seems like the whipping boy of the government in power? Don't we need a clear policy(es) to define the military and then work towards those capabilities and...

    Is it just me or - while looking at that list in terms of title alone - I'm not sure about their responsibilities etc, that there could be a lot of simplification and realignment of general responsibilities? for example - difference between Director  Generral of the Reserves & cadets AND the...

    Is it important to have been a Cadet before trying to join?

    If you mean your cadet friends - if they were doing this, it would really need to be addressed because that is way not cool - being in cadets for 7 yrs, that's not what happens. Now if you're talking about being a cadet then joining the military- it can help you in that it gives you a glimpse...

    Any one want any info?

    Just a quick question- coming off of 6-7 years in the cadets how hard was it to adapt and readjust from being in a position of responsibility and leadership to one of being a new recruit in the reserves?

    Post preview?

    I'm just wondering if this is possible on this forum - I've seen it utilized on others and find it useful- when you hover your mouse over the title of the post, it gives you the first few lines as an introduction to whatever the post is about. Just an idea, Thanks Mike for all the hard work...

    5 year Cadet medals

    I think that there is really a distinction between serving your country for 12 years of your life and being a cadet. I know there are really switched on cadets who really do work to improve their community and pass on their knowledge to their followers and in that case yes, they are exemplifying...

    WO2/WO1s can wear medals, I was referring to our profiency levels. Sorry for the miscommunication. But in terms of pretty things, the air cadet uniform is getting cluttered. We have Junior Courses (Intro to Specialty) and Sr Courses (Advanced Speciality) and even basic octagons, all which we...

    5 year Cadet medals

    medals are suppose to mean something, something that is earned - NOT handed out like candy or a guarantee issue. And why would the air cadets have it? We have our profiency level badges upto Level 5, after that we don't have levels or years- we're usually a part of the sr's nco-s in a sqn. And...
