Excellent info, thanks for posting it! On a somewhat related note, bitter pill for my beloved G&SF as during WWII the Foresters were split and separated into below Company sized elements and therefore no Battle Honours were ever received.  Doesn't detract though from the fine work all personnel...

That was what I thought of with the OP's question.  For the RegF Infantry the former SQ (now BMQ-Land) was removed as part of the qualification requirement a few years back when BMQ was lengthened and the DP1 was also expanded to include PO's that were once part of SQ. The change just recently...

Hot stuff, comin' through!

Great pics.  Question though, what is the plane with the Canadian flag on it?  I thought at first it was a CT-155 Hawk but the plane in the image has 2 engines vice 1.

Interesting, the statement "...suggest they be friendly" made me chuckle.

I think both are important.  Having a personal and professional relationship with your soldiers to look after their welfare is important for leaders to truly be able to look out for their personnel, but at the same time no matter which chain of command those soldiers are moved on to there is a...

From what I understood it was personnel, but the forecast is that recovery will take place within the next 3 years.

Geo Tech as of right now is short 30 positions, roughly 83% shortfall from the presentation the Chief of Mil Per CCWO just gave. Just an FYI.

You can offer correction without immediately jumping all over the poster,  no need to hit the "grumpy" button right away.

I too had some shivers from Monsters in the Dark, excellent poem. Thank you as well to Sigs Pig for the contribution. A salute to all those in uniform currently serving, and a special thank you to those that have gone on before us.  You are remembered and shall not be forgotten. RIP MCpl...

This thread has reinforced why army.ca is a wonderful place to be.  Yep... wonderful *walks off with a smile*

Couldn't agree more.  Don't want to derail your thread as I know it has been discussed in other topics. I have done my best since returning from overseas to stay in contact with the guys I had in platoon, but it is difficult when we were spread out from all different units throughout Ontario. ...

Just a dude providing overwatch for his buddies, what's the big hoopla?

That just made my day.  Love it!

At first when looking at your post my feathers were getting a little ruffled thinking that this was a "less professional" argument such as what some of the comments on the site were in regards to the article. However, I would agree that for a reservist to finish their tour of duty and then...

Awesome photos Skeletor, thanks again. Makes me jealous though, as I'm chained behind this damn desk!  *throws desk over*

I'm sure I'm not the only one watching all of this with a good amount of worry on if the project will follow through on the original line of intent.  Cost overruns and expensive plans and designs for these ships is not what we need, affordable and effective is.

*high fives Jim* Thanks for the shout out! ;)

Very good points, but I would argue that one of the reasons a case is made to have a large(er) standing army that is well trained and equipped is due to the fact that the days of trading space for time is gone when referring to your own back yard.  Warfare can move at such a rapid pace in this...

This is a great story from you posted and is in the article.  For $17 I think I might just have to add it to my collection. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
