    NCD Boots (Split Topic because I highjacked another thread)

    Thanks.  The best I could find on those threads was this: I was hoping that someone could point me to a picture and/or provide more detail.

    NCD Boots (Split Topic because I highjacked another thread)

    Sorry for the tangent, but the search feature is down:  Can someone provide a link to (or description of) the current issue sea boots used by the RCN?  Thank you.

    Wanted: "Special Advisor" for Commander RCAF

    Having skimmed the document (but being unable to cut and paste from it, sorry), isn't the role of the "Special Advisor" as defined in paragraph A1.2.1 exactly what Comm RCAF would expect to get from his staff?  It seems like the requirements as stated exclude anyone without RCAF staff experience.

    Is the Canadian Naval Reserve all but finished?

    I've heard informal discussions of this, but can someone point me to an official plan / message / document suitable for those without DIN access?  What happens to the KINGSTON class crews?  I don't see them being whisked off and replaced with Reg crews all of a sudden.

    It's UKRAINE, dammit!

    Right.  It's another of those places that most people add a "the" to the name.  I was kidding.

    Property rights and the lack thereof

    Assuming that the Conservatives actually do want to change this, it strikes me as being worse to say that they want to change it, but will use it nevertheless, than a different party using it because they actually agree with it. In fairness, P.E.T. did not make any change to the status of...

    Property rights and the lack thereof

    I think that you will find that the government of the day, of any political stripe, will find occasions where (in it's view) the collective need of the nation outweighs private property interests.  Witness the ongoing controversy over the Conservative government's expropriation of "Frank Meyer's...

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    My suggestion for one (admittedly minor) item that could be cut immediately:  The plastic name tags worn on DEU.  The tags are ugly and unnecessary on non-operational clothing.  An easy item to just delete from the system.  These should just disappear.

    Hamilton Paramedic faces jail under the Ambulance Act

    Well, the Criminal Code provisions on criminal negligence causing bodily harm / death (and other provisions) are available if needed.  Plus they face the possibility of civil actions for malpractice.
