I am not talking about the posting issue that is and was the red herring to the real problem. I'm talking about the interference in the duties as councilor. As I said the posting issue was not the real issue. That is why he got such a large money payoff from the CF over the issue. Same with Capt...

  On the issue we are talking about (the interference of the Comd staff in day to day activities on town council of military members) the issues are very similar. Olga - we could have a whole separate thread on pro/ con on the mayors seat and issue in Oromocto over the past 20 years. I too have...

Mel had his issues over the same points, just not so public. On the Vatch issue if you are aware of the behind the closed door issues they are very similar in this case as far as base comd inteference in town politics. As Vatch was a close friend of mine and worked for me during the dust up his...

The entire story is much bigger than is detailed here or in the media. Tidd the {ineffective} //////// mayor of Oromocto did not support him when needed, she is and always has been {slow to intervien on base issues} /////// and {out to become mayor so she can push through personnel ventures...

After reading the long thread. I think this boils down to an issue of "What is the spirit of the legislation and what was the intention of its creation" not how can I find a loop hole to exploit it. IMHO VAC and its benefits is there for the wounded and sick and injured due to service. It is...

Shamrock,   Issues like that leave a bad taste in home purchasers mouths, it is too bad. As a realtor I can tell you that it is the Law that your realtor be advised if their is another offer on the property you have made an offer on, it is also the Law that the realtor inform you of that fact...

James13f   Welcome to the guns side of things here. I have been busy so no time to post to say hi unitl now. We are thin on the guns here at Army.ca. We have similar system as you do. we have FIST teams but we call them FOO parties. Same thing only difference is they are part of the Bty they...

Rest In Peace, you will not be forgotten,  :salute: :cdn:

It is always better to buy your home as early as possible in your carrier. The price normally always goes up. Don't wait till your 10 years away from retirement cause you will be paying for that home on your reduced income. If you buy in the first few years of your carrier you will have your...

CBC news just reported a IED strike that killed 6 ISAF soldiers. They had no other info. Earlier they touched on the IED strike but gave no info just that which has been repeated above. RIP to the soldiers speedy recover to the wounded.  :salute: Edit- CNN just detailed the two incidents as...

The only thing missing from the criteria is: Must be a Veteran Must have been WIA   We shall see what the result is....could be just another , Nice idea poor execution" Without a vet and a wounded vet at that I think the odds are against this being an effective position.

The first part of your post was good, but the part I note above me thinks you have seen too many war movies with the battle scenes played in slow mo. You don't hear the sound of your rifle since the sound of battle is so loud, you don't see your casing cause your eyes are on your sight picture...

I would say yes. But with the up armour and the unique trait of the magnesium the metal plates actually obsorb allot of blunt energy before breaking or spalling. My example was that one should not sell that veh short. Accepting that obviously the LAV is an improvement by far. I would have argued...

Prep H   From my experience all are jittery before going in, if you are not scared then you are not functioning in the right frame of mind to fight your first battle. I found that as my experience in battle increased I became more aware of what to fear and not as I found out what all the sounds...

I have a problem with this comment, you must be talking about the non combat tours. I cannot argue that the hull is not a problem but when you compare hull to hull you must be speaking only of the issue of IEDs. Obviously the LAV has a sweet optics and gun kit and who would not want the good...

  Were was he when the idiots in the glass palace sent Iltis jeeps in, which begot the Mercedes, which begot the Nayla, which begot the ....Tank. As usual our commanders can never figure out what stage of a war we are fighting. Should have been Tank first then.......finally Iltis when peace...

Hi Z Bty ZULU Warriors.   I recognize one of those names. I did not serve in the early Bty years but was in the new stand up Bty in 89-91 when it was sent back into history. As a note to all Zulu Warriors who ever want to know when the Bty was disbanded in 91 those that remained pledged an oath...

If this keeps up I will need oxygen +1 Journeyman :rofl: :rofl:

Gorden.   I define combat as battle, not just isolated to a declared war or not. Thus UN missions that saw battle, which is most, are included in my comments. A Stan is also a UN mission I dont define peacekeeping as non combat unless you are unarmed observer and even then it can get combatish...
