    Combat Boots policy 2018-CANFORGEN 127/18

    garb811, my experience is much different than yours working in a national or international HQ.

    Moe, not sure if your are being sarcastic? I would think that your internet usage (data requirement) should certainly decrease and the number of tvs that you can watch at one time should go down as well.  If it is a two person household and one person is on IR then in theory the decrease should...

    Artillery gun comes loose and hits taxi in Nanaimo

    Harassment Questions

    I would recommend that the complainant goes to the Harassment Advisor/WRA since the supervisor is a subordinate of the CO and will likely direct the complainant to go to the HA anyways.  Either way the path leads to the HA and not the CO.  The CO as a potential respondent cannot be the RO.

    Major-General Lewis MacKenzie CM, MSC, OOnt, CD

    DND has been searching for unused sleeping bags, I hope that there isn't a shortage of green flak jackets.  Isn't it illegal to sell military equipment for private gain; good thing he is hanging onto it, might be better still if he returned it to supply section where it belongs.
