This certainly sounds like a step forward but the US is well out in front of the CF in terms of developing its senior non-commissioned members (ie Sgt Major's Academy).  Maybe I'm being obtuse but if this is one of the reasons for the course, it is 13 years too late.  Moreover the skill level...

The situation you describe was very inappropriate.  Even as an OCdt, you outrank the MCpl.

You are comparing apples and oranges...  The gist of the discussion really focuses on a Pl Comd vs a Pl WO, they can both lead a pl but, once again, what is required from each of them is different.

Edmonton used to receive it back in 99/00.  Remember the criteria used to determine if PLD is paid or not: http://www.forces.gc.ca/dgcb/cbi/engraph/home_e.asp?sidesection=6&Section=205.45&sidecat=22&Chapter=205#205.45 Considering Alberta doesn't have a sales tax and has low income tax, gas is...

You may want to change your reasoning/rationale as the name Mohammed (praised one) came after he was visited by the angel Gabriel.  Hence, it came after the creation of Islam's teachings.  Or you may want to find some educated religious types...

Voicing support for a terrorist organization isn't illegal.  Distasteful (to say the least) but not illegal. Are Canadian supporters of Hizbollah stating publically in Canada that "all Jews must die"?  If someone knows of someone who has stated this, lodge a complaint with the Montreal police.

Guys, it is a "sensational" news article about a petty bureaucrat self imposing their own interpretation of passport regulations. It is not official UK government policy and it is hardly the downfall of western civilization.  Last time I checked, we live in a free country and our citizens have...

Old Sweat, didn't they use the battle casualty estimates used in Corps '86 and a healthy additional top up "just in case"?

It was termed Op BROADSWORD.  The Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf) War, 1990-1991 - A ground force contingency plan, Operation BROADSWORD, was then formulated. BROADSWORD was to consist of an independent Brigade Group based on 4 Canadian Mechanized Brigade in Germany, but with substantial...

Shilo has alwasy been like that (base commander notwithstanding).  The reason, IIRC, was due to a large percentage of the training area that is leased from provincial government.  The eastern part of the ranges forms part of the larger protected area known as Spruce Woods Provincial Park).  Part...

We had the hunting season and the Germans from Spring to Fall.... If there is the will to do something, there is usually a way.  Remember to factor in CMTC on your road to high readiness in terms of live fire, etc.  CMTC is coming along and will hopefully provide an excellent collective...

The last time I was on the ranges in Shilo was in 1993  :-[ and the Germans were still training BGs there...  I always felt the impact areas were quite large as compared to Wx and other trg areas in Canada (all except Suffield).  Have they restricted the ranges due to environmental concerns? 

Seen (I was wondering...).  Is that not part of your field firing exercises?  I have to admit that most my experience has been with Coyote....

I can't comment on what the BIQ looks like any more other than to say that I know they are changing alot of the course to reflect our doctrine of a COE vice strictly a cold war focus.  Quite a bit of money has been spent on urban warfare sites, etc.  I can't tell you if it is effective. Does a...

Schools should teach within doctrinal guidelines as our doctrine should not be that different from what is going on overseas.  TTPs are a different story and instructor's with recent cbt experience will hopefully bring something new and fresh to the table...until the next rotation of soldiers...

Seen Wes, I understand the context now. Thanks. 

Wes, I think that was for a different wounded soldier as I am unaware of any programs outlining Capt Greene's recovery. Cheers,

You haven't been able to find anything because his medical condition is none of your business.  Should his family want to feed the morbid curiosity of the general public, they will issue a media advisory.
