Para,   Thats good news, I have not heard of the program, do you have any info on that program? I know guys are still being released out of key training places and some converstations have occured at the local base to bring back some key SME people for training but due med cats they were told...

Interesting article sounds like he has some good solutions. I would suggest two points he missed that may help. One - Go beyond sup reserve and invite back the wounded and injured soldiers who have been released that could work in the training system. I for one was released medically while...

;D

MCG,  to me most of the time it is black and white as being a soldier it is simpler that way, to get into the grey would make life too difficult...guess that is my weakness. Pearson won the prize for Suez and if I am correct that was to be a fighting force to meet two fighting nations in the...

Sounds interesting.  :salute:

G2G,   Red five has an interesting point. I don't subscribe to that approach but then I'm a dinosaur, but always willing to accept a new way of doing business. With that said I don't think the dynamics of battle in the current theatre are as complicated as was in  past battles when our system...

Journey,   The Royal we stands for Commonwealth.    The Gulf War 1 scenario is an example of the close relationship and exchange of approaches that has always been, not just in the past few years. I had to rely on my own experience in finding an old example that showed my point. I guess I...

G2G,   I thought we (royal we) were all striving towards NATO stanags rather than towards US standards. If this is not so then things have really taken a drastic shift. I reserve judgement on that end result being good.   I can see a technical movement making sense but the approach to...

Then I guess Somalia, Rwanda, Croatia, Bosnia, Kosavo, East Timore, were wars. edit new non relevant split from other thread.

It is not dead just being applied correctly in A Stan which is a UN mission. It is the above perception of Peace Ops that aids the media in distorting what true peacekeeping is all about. Peacekeeping does not mean not shooting at an enemy, it just means we are fighting a war on a world mandate...

Tom,   The CF does not operate in the same way as the US forces when it comes to support arms advice, co-ord and execution. I think it would take a very big shift to change the way we have, and do business. I have been on both sides of the coin providing fire support advice to CF Army units...

I found the article to be poor with flashes of brilliance. If the reporter had left out the low blow personnel stuff about past failures it would have been brilliant. Mark Graham's sins of the past were washed away the minute he died serving his country so valiantly, Shame on that reporter and...

Just because the country was here does not mean that a specific tribe owned it. What I mean is that if you are a tribe and you live in a village and you have a normal hunting and gathering area that you walk to then do you own all the land or just the area that your village occupies. Why should...

Well done to all four, you make us all very proud. :salute: :cdn:

I don't know but it is interesting reading. What is a Canadian? I can answer....An immigrant with seniority! :) Arrived 1608...I got seniority

The sea kings have been flying in formation at tree top level for the last few days out here in Gagetown. They never fly like that out here maybe the pilot training has already started.

Rant on This long drawn out litigation and discussion may be due to the greedy and out of proportion demands of the native peoples to what the real land entitlement should be. IMHO it is hypocritical to claim land back from those that "took it" when the native Canadians took it from someone else...

Great ...simply great. :rofl:

Security?  The only CDS I ever saw with security was Baril.....and he needed it from his own troops. :)

Armyvern,   That was fast, as usual Gagetown stores just rockin. :salute:
