MAJ Baker I‘m not all that familiar with the objective of ABCA but if you‘ll allow me a little time I‘ll do some research on it and try to enlighten us all. To add to this, though, I do know that the Army Commander sees the joint relationship to be of great importance. This is the Commander‘s...

We already have that. It‘s called ABCA (America, Britain, Canada, Australia). It‘s quite high level and they meet once or twice a year.

brin11, perhaps you can explain what 3‘s and 5‘s are to fenix who is a civilian and has probably no clue what you are talking about right now.

Slim, I‘m not in the least embarrassed. The question was rhetorical because the original poster asked if anyone else was frustrated with the system. Since you completely missed the point I will explain it to you. The frustration with the CF health care system is felt at all levels and in all...

Are you Class A, B, B(A), C or Regular Force because each different class of service has completely different rules for the provision of health care and treatment. Also bear in mind that the mindset is, if you are a Class A reservist, you are trying to rip off the CF health care and dental...

I‘m thinking probably not. It‘s not unlike how I was unable to bring the LFRR discussions over from the old old discussion board. I will ask the webmaster about it though, if and when a new Army board is up and running.

Yes

The REAL reason the Army Discussion Forum was shut down is because someone hacked the French side so the whole board was taken offline. They were using the Snitz Forum and it had something to do with vulnerable code or open code or something techie like that (I‘m not a techie so don‘t ask me to...

Let‘s not blame the Army for a system over which it has no control. The Army would like to see changes made within the recruiting system too and is working with those that control recruiting to work out solutions. Is it going to happen over night? Nope. Just like everything else in the CF, it‘s...

Trap, how long did it take you to get in and are you bitter about it? Old Guy, the Army Reserves are actually growing. The government has agreed to a strength increase of 750 for this fiscal year and 750 for next fiscal year along with the appropriate funding and equipment. Another 1500 may be...

Interesting statement about the media that is based on the idealology that the media is a public institution that has some lofty goal of ensuring that the public is educated in a fair and balanced manner. The reality is that the media is a private enterprise with the sole objective of making...

It doesn‘t really work that way. Unsolicited proposals are rarely looked at by the Department. It works the other way around. The CF determines a need and then sends out a request for proposal on the Merx bidding system. So unless the Department has put out a request for this type of technology...

"I was wondering if anyone had any info on some vehicles/weapons/equipment that the CF is replacing or removing and how it might affect the responsibilities to the UN and to Canadian soldiers?" Is this a school project or something that you‘re trying to get information on?

There is no such link. If you want a list of those companies that DO have a policy, contact the Canadian Forces Liaison Council.

Geez people. Did you actually read the article? It‘s medium weight with respect to our armoured vehicles...not politically.

People, you are all talking as if this is a new government. It‘s not a new government. It‘s a new personality at the helm. The current PM and the incoming PM may have professional differences, but Canada is still being led by the Liberal Party. Don‘t think that there are going to be any radical...

Bill, Go to this site http://www.esgr.org/members/thelaw.asp and click on the link that says Uniformed Services Employment and Remployment Rights Act and you can download the act in whichever format you choose. Cheers!

For a good read on this subject, I recommend the following book: The Kinder, Gentler Military : Can America‘s Gender-Neutral Fighting Force Still Win Wars by Stephanie Gutmann The author makes some very valid points - - - against women in combat roles I might add.

Nope. Southern Thailand. Nakhon Si Thammarat. If you do go, send me an email and I‘ll make the trip up to Bangkok for a drink. I‘ll probably need a few days in the "big city" by then.
