It's a stretch, but this might be in the general direction: http://www.forces.ca/en/job/bioscienceofficer-51#info-1

I would guess that it's because branch/regimental identity is largely an army invention.  Historically naval and air force uniforms didn't, for the most part, display one's branch at all.  (Even the branch cap badges worn with naval and air force uniforms today are a post-unification import from...

Is the departmental workload taken up by more dayworkers, then?

Do you know why?

Actually, the correct statement is "if it were not for the US we would not have been invaded long ago".

Correlation doesn't imply a causal relationship.

Apart from the spelling mistake, it looks as if an RFP has been written for one of each item (sword and cutlass, each with accessories).  Since these can be bought off the shelf from a very limited number of suppliers I have to wonder if this is a sensible procurement strategy...

Not a bad argument for tax-inclusive pricing, actually.

That's more than I would have guessed.  Could you say a bit more about them?

To be certain, whatever rounding scheme is adopted it will, in the long run, even out for all concerned.  But on a public policy question it's not enough to be right: you also have to appear to be right in the eyes of a very diverse public.

There's no doubt that it can be done, but there's also no need to make things any more complicated than necessary. I vividly recall various high school teachers contradicting each other on what to do with rounding a 5: one school of thought was that you always round up; the other was that you...

I'm not really in love with the idea of rounding prices, as has been suggested.  I think the public would be forever suspicious that they were getting jammed somehow (and not necessarily without cause). A simpler solution might be to change to a 20-part or 10-part dollar.  The latter would be...

19/20 -- the Lafontaine one got me.

I took the Tender Charge course in 2004 and understood from the bosns on the course that it was no longer part of their usual career progression at that time.  Most of them were in or on their way to a posting in which it would be useful to have, e.g. with NTS or HMCS ORIOLE. It may also be a...

This has been discussed pretty recently here so if you search the Recruiting forum you might find some useful information. Just to help you with your search and when talking to people in the recruiting centre or reserve units, we usually abbreviate the regular force as Reg Force (in speech) or...

This is not especially sound advice.  Despite a lot of similarities, an officer cadet is not the same thing as a private, and they do outrank privates by a significant margin. In the unique situation in the militia of having officer cadets and privates on the same BMQ course it makes sense that...

In all cases it's correct to refer to a member by his or her rank and last name: "I was talking to Captain Bloggins yesterday." or "Do you know where I can find Corporal Smith?". The first step is to learn the rank structure (and it will be one less thing you have to do on BMQ).  Here's a good...

Only the army had privates (of any variety), second lieutenants, lieutenants (as subalterns), captains, majors, colonels, and generals (of any variety) -- all of them in the same places as they are in the CF rank structure.  It looks very green, with at most a vague hint of blue.

True, but the CF rank structure is minimal adaptation of the Canadian Army rank structure in use immediately before unification so it's not much of a stretch to think of it as an "army" rank structure. Leading Aircraftsman, cf. Leading Seaman.  (But I do see a distinction between the...

I have two sources of information on this: The Uniform Instructions for the Royal Canadian Navy (1957) show a tie the same as the one now sold by NOAC: naval crowns and maple leaves alternating in a diagonal pattern.  The layout of the page suggests that it would be worn (with civilian attire)...
