Im well aware of the definition of intelligence - I was refering to a large number of reports outside the military that are called 'intelligence' but are merely cut-and-paste composites...

That would make more sense...

Thanks mariomike, but not quite what I meant, I' ll try again:  I understand the description, but how was it 'lost'?  Are they talking about i.e., getting an advance prior to a deployment and then not deploying?  Sounds like more of a simple administrative/pay issue...     

Would anyone who understands accounting and/or fraud be able to explain what 'loss of accountable advances' means?  (On page 4) Edit - otherwise, an interesting doc, huge numbers when it comes to claims fraud...

Yes, it seems like a lot of 'intelligence' products are more along the lines of 'information' products... 

Looks good, any new persons should be able to learn just about all they need to know in this thread...

Just because it says 'intelligence' in the title doesnt neccesarily mean its a 'military intelligence' product - which is about the most you can say about it here...

What alternatives are out there? Is there a replacement for the poppy, for those who want to wear something to show their support, but not wear a legion poppy?

I dont think my opinion is gonna swing much weight with many people; but, maybe next time I'll show up with with an embossed and framed letter for her, showing that statement?  

Or you could have a boss who keeps yanking your deployment every time your departure time drew close becvause 'we need you here more'.  Very frustrating. I recall discussing this 'wait time' with some Marines years ago; at the time, they thought that having a one-year wait between deployments...

I hate to disagree with daftandbarmy as I respect him and his opinion immensely, but I would advise that you never write a paragraph like this on your resume unless you are specifically applying for a security-related job that requires a particular level of experience and skills.  Most resumes...

Many have experienced this, but fortunately there are are exceptions where military service was/is appreciated and desired. From your example, my question would be 'why did he/she mention driving trucks in Somalia'?  There's no job out there in Canada that an employer would need to know that...

I would also advise you restrict the CF skills and experience you mention to those that are relevant to the job you are applying for.  Also include training or skills you have gained that are applicable to the job you are appllying for, i.e. describe how proficient are you with a computer...

I dont disagree with a commander relying on their own judgement.  Its pretty much a requirement for any officer  or NCO of significant rank to be able to make the right decisions.  Especially back in the day of Napolean and even up to WW2 when a commander often had limited or no communications...

You'll even see NCMs leading officers in some HUMINT units...

Is this the same group of guys you sent me a video of earlier this year?

Just another wanna-be-tough-guy putting down the actual tough guys...

Intelligence is what you know about the enemy and about his country, however you might learn it. A commander gets many, many reports, and a lot of them will say different things, more will be false – wrong – and most will be uncertain – you will not know whether they are right or not. A...

Many supervisors look at the description line of 'perform duties as directed' and think it to mean they can order a subordinate to do any minor task they can think of; even those tasks that leadership and personal dignity usually demands that they should be doing for themselves. Its a problem...
