    Changes To CHAP ?

    This has been a long going process - I know when I was a cadet I attended a conference on a weekend addressing shortcomings of the program, and at STC we also went through a seminar about it (us providing possible ideas/solutions about) I believe the consensus was to keep the serious aspects...

    New Coast Guard Ships

    I'm just wondering if it would be better to have the Coast Guard  as a unit of the RCMP? the CF? DND? Would this complicate matters further? I, having very limited knowledge on the operations of the CG, I was just thinking that the variety of things that the coast guard does can fit under these...

    Recruiting Posters, Slogans and Commercials [Merged]

    I'm just wondering if the problems of recruiting could be extended internally - of all the horror stories I've heard about and from people I know have had horrendously long waits and processes in tranfering from PRes to Reg. Over a year plus from what I can gather is SOP? That to me really makes...

    Defence: $12.7-billion infusion ;D

    In reading the budget synopsis - it all seems like the whole budget is a shell game - monies previously pledged, leftover money from previously pledged etc. Isn't quite sitting well with me.

    Physical stuff on the first day of BMQ

    Funny, in the armoury we have our bmq at - when they say move, they expect you you to MOVE - lest you want to to miss timings and enjoy the fun that comes from that.

    New Designations

    On the air side there was an attempt to number in sequence - this soon rapidly fell apart. Contrary to common belief 111 Sqn isn't the oldest. 6 Jim Whitecross Sqn is. Its been proven.

    Damn the Torpedoes - My fight to unify the Canadian Armed Forces - Book Review

    Damn the Torpedoes - My fight to unify the Canadian Armed Forces by Paul Hellyer. I just finished reading this book and overall I thought it was a good read. It is written in the first person and acts more as a personal memoire. It was insightful at times about the differening politicians...

    The Search Tool

    Is there a way in searches to not find single instances of a letter? I entered writing a memo and encountered numerous a's ? ---- Suggestion: For font options to have a popup box that would allow certain text to be formatted in addition to the Select & Click method? I borrowed this screen shot...

    Pay Delay in Reserves Question

    After doing a search on this topic - and after trying to explain things about the reserves to my friends I came to a realization that I don't know/understand why there is a 2 week delay in reserve pay if we all are direct deposit with our bank accounts. Now I understand that as a reservist I...

    Political Bias on Army.ca

    I think the point of contention that I and others have is when someone presents a left of centre viewpoint - only to be ripped apart and discounted simply because it is a left idea. I do understand the strong right on this board - and that's ok, but when people are discounted on their ideas...

    Recruiting Event Ideas

    As an idea (that unfortunately didn't develop beyond the proposal at least while I was still with my cadet unit) is to take older cadets down to the SAT range, or take them onto an ex where they could witness the actual things that the reserves do. I think this is a great idea, and could most...

    The General Hillier Years. The Merged Superthread

    Can anyone clarify this- I always thought that it would go to the Vice or Deputy as a means of succession/grooming? and can anyone clarify the differences in positions between the Vice and the Deputy?
