I wonder how much money could be found if we (collective) didn't waste so much. We've all seen the waste that occurs when a course is ran - all the excess food wastage, office supplies etc. I also wonder if budgets did not have to be used completely to receive the next budget. It's always...

The jist of the meeting was a formal press conference telling us (the military audience) that this is going on. Basically the Minister of Labour has been put in charge of sussing out the details of job protection, between all interested groups ( Labour ministers -- provinical where such...

Y Which is why CSIS has been told for years by the oversight committee to get rid of this test for new applicants. CSIS still continues to use the polygraph, without a good explaination as to why they do.

Mainly opening pieces, and getting off thick sections of carbon that are caked on.

There were people on my DP1 (and Dvr Whl) that did not have a license at all.

What I found really interesting in the Government's latest policy change wrt passport applications. The renewing a passport without(completely) reproving who you are makes some sense. What doesn't make sense is the government changing the policy from a "professional" to act as a guarantor to...

Funny, my professor has been arguing for improved airport security since 1976. And has lectured to and advised Transport Canada (and all variations of guards since then). And the book he wrote on the subject continues to be validated and current today. But hey, why listen to experts in the know....

As recently coming from the cadet ranks, there are some things to counter in this article. 1. We do volunteer, both on our own and within the cadet unit. We are actively taught this as a good citizenship module throughout the program. We are encouraged heavily to go out and volunteer. 2. We are...

Related to company - not dropleg specific. Rucksacks are contracted since Nov 06 - http://www.fellfab.com/canada/news/110906.shtml I'm just wondering - 11M for the Tackvest and 19M for a backpack with detachable pockets - doesn't that seem a tad pricey ?

After a search didn't see this posted.

As a reservist I'm wondering why there is no mention of an Order in Council, anywhere. If there is such a need of Reserve augmentation - and one could argue there is when a CBG is deploying so many soldiers, this should be considered. Yes it will include many facets to sort out, and will have...

Jackass is the explicit evidence as to the effects of longterm drug use.

It may not affect the unit on a large scale with the few augmentees model - but when you're sending 20+ of your unit (many of whom are PLQ +) I'd figure that the impact is far larger.
