I'm curious if you can give same examples of militaries that have this type of system (and where it has been successfully implemented)?

I just posted in another thread about a similar topic and it jogged my memory about this thread.  Feel free to see the annex I attached in the other thread as it clarifies a couple of the issues discussed in this thread (ie spoken short form for A/SLt rank is Sub-Lieutenant, Colonel is a spoken...

Well the good (bad?) thing about the CF is that there is a publication for everything.  Chapter 11 in The Heritage Structure of the Canadian Forces publication (the 200) details forms of address for CF members.  I've included the parts most people will probably find useful.  The table in the...

LOL  ;D I've seen Naval Officers on both coasts and the standard is the same.  This is also detailed in the dress regs for the mess kit shoulder boards.  I think the only confusion here is just in the description, 'underside of the curl' facing forward is the same as the 'bow' facing forward...

Out of curiousity, has any direction been given on which one (left or right) to wear on CADPAT uniforms?

Perks of being an NRD on the coast.  It would be nice to have some sort of platform to conduct weekly 'Wednesday night' training on during the year.

No, Air Cadets get plenty of this too lol

I fully agree with making the Lt(N)/Capt rank a merit-based promotion.  From a naval reserve unit perspective, the only senior officer in a unit is oftentimes the CO.  Making Lt(N) merit-based helps move the mentality of more junior officers from one based on making sure they simply have all the...

I think it's terrible nobody has 'outed' this guy and that he still remains a regular contributor on CTV.  I especially dislike his arrogant 'know-it-all' type of attitude when giving his comments especially when he doesn't have the experience to back it up.

Great article by SLt Lewis and excellent project by HMCS Prevost and all those involved!

http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories/20101112/harper-afghan-extension-vote-101112/ I just saw some commentary from Sunil Ram (third video in the above link).  I'm curious if anybody knows what jacket he is wearing?  Is it the same regimental jacket mentioned earlier in this thread?  I found his...

great story and amazing advances in technology!

My apologies for the double post, it appears the threads were split just as I was posting.  I believe my post fits better in this thread: But each element IS quite different, the function of each base is to support operations within that environment, organizational identity and culture play a...

But each element IS quite different, the function of each base is to support operations within that environment, organizational identity and culture play a large role in that.  I do not know of one civilian organization in the real world that has 6 different cultures for an employee to adopt. ...

What we have from an institutional standpoint, is a lot of cultural confusion (ever since 1968) which arguably decreases organizational effectiveness.  Looking at other militaries around the world with seperate services, the organizational identity of each seperate service is very clear and...

I know these changes are to the Heart and Stroke guidelines, does anybody think these will affect the CPR portion of the St. John's course CF members take?

If in doubt, a good que is to just call them by whatever they introduced themselves as.  As civilians I don't think anyone on the ship will give you any trouble for getting it wrong.  Might as well get to know the proper addresses though because as a NCdt, even prior to going to basic, you'll...

Pretty amazing stuff, BZ to the pilots for doing a great job under fire.

Great to hear for Brian's legacy  :salute:

Is part of the issue a lack of experience on the part of all parties involved?  I would think the aforementioned issues such as juniors afraid to tell their seniors that something is not going to work, the same on the vendors looking to bid on the projects end, hiring of an expert in over...
