Obviously I think the stresses endured by military directly effects the spouse. Read my question don't assume my position by misrepresenting what I asked. Do the spouses get PTSD from it?.....I would suggest they don't. My question is what is going on with these diagnosis for PTSD in the spouse?

That should stir the pot. I have a question, what is up with all the spouses claiming PTSD? If you watched the CBC profile on the medic who lost his legs in A Stan his wife mentioned that she has been given a diagnosis of PTSD. I know of people in my area that have been dealing with PTSD and...

UNB hosted a lecture last night on Iraq and Afghanistan. It was a very good presentation. I wonder why they did not ask the lecturer to also be part of the above stated debate. He was in country and has some very interesting views (pro military) on the subject. Maybe I will ask him to be in the...

RIP you fine soldiers, you kings of kings, you hero's, you keepers of the dark away from us. My thoughts are with the families friends and regimental family. :salute: :cdn: :salute: :cdn:

The question with answer is not complete without the reason. {Left - tenant} if I have been taught correctly is the title given to the tenant of the land most senior and living to the left of the land lord. The land lord rasies a Coy to fight for the king and he raises that Coy from the tenants...

I'm slowly being surrounded..........I will conceded the numbers are rather high. Training cost are difficult to quantify. To say those figures I stated are way out would suggest that you think a 12 to 15 year soldier with specialty training has cost the CF as little as 1 or 2 million.  Any...

The example was not an example of all soldiers, I clearly stated 12 to 15 years experience with specialty training. That would not be the lions share of the troops as you (edit out) detailed. The original point being don't release highly skilled expensive to train and replace soldiers who...

Back in the Day so add double for ammo and wages and triple for fuel and maint. Obviously a SWAG to know the true cost would be to be the actual budget dude, on some I was not all. OCdt school trg - 500K to 700K 2Lt/Lt Trades Trg - 3.5m Lt/Capt Specialty Trg - FOO - 1.5m school crse, Unit qual...

Petard,   Shot out 5 ...pm inbound

As the Librarian you must see me scrambling around the bookshelves pulling the cost analysis reference books for training.  ;D

What is ridiculous the release or the cost of training?  I would suggest that the figure is rather conservative for a specialist combat arms soldier. As for the navy or the airforce in particular a pilot the numbers are much higher. Just look above at the soldier who started the thread or...

This is a good point. We are releasing people who have the detailed knowledge of closing with and destroying the enemy and have special knowledge that cannot be recovered if we release them. It takes a good 10 to 15 years to train a good specialist. After being wounded they are released, 55 to...

RIP soldier, thoughts are with family, friends and the wounded soldier. :salute: :cdn:

Let us not confuse accuracy with kill effects. Accuracy dependent on the mission and the target will drive an operator to select a specific weapon that will deliver the kill effects desired. As HOM has said layered effect is best. As for the usage of large sized weapons on targets, one cannot...

I don't think you will find many Gunners claiming the mortars should be in the Bty rather than the Bn. It was a weak reason to take them away and soon I hope they will go back to where they belong....Inf Bn Sp Coy. On the same point why would the guns want to keep them, 120s maybe but not 81s...

I know just by first glance that some of the numbers stated are a little out of context. Soldiers deaths cause DVA to give a $250K lump sum payment, that is not the only payment. I wonder does the civil service get their lump sum from an insurance policy or the government? The reporter needs to...

GO,   I think you better bring an extra airsick bag....your being set up.....but it would be fun. Nothing like a whirly bird flight with a pilot trying to teach an army dude how tough it is in the air. I must admit that CDN Aviator has a point, but I have also found that what GO has said has...

Take care you two, speedy recovery to you both. :salute: :cdn:

HOM   You walked through the valley of the shadow of death,   You and your friends feared no evil,   Your carbine and comrades comforted you,   Your enemy prepared an ambush before you,   You walked tall, you did not waiver, you did your Coy and country proud.    Get better soldier we...

RIP Sir,  End of Mission - Stand Easy :salute: :cdn:
