I again question whether this is good for the Army at this particular point in time. We are going through difficult process at this time and we require continuity.  Has long range consideration and succession planning gone into this decision, or when his term is up, is the next general officer...

Bit of a suprise because he just became CLS and theres still lots of work to do within the Army. We can't afford transformation to go off the rails, because a new CLS isn't on board. Hillier took over the vision from Jeffery, was moving it forward and would have pass the torch to the next CLS...

CFP 265 (CF Dress Manual)) says either are appropriate for all services for all forms of No 3s . Mandating for officers/NCMs are Regt/RSM quiffs.

What is disgusting is the second guessing and political games some play when the death toll is 116,000 and climbing. Come on people, lets keep the priorities straight. Even if the CF had the capability, would troops be on the way. Probably not yet. DART is not the answer (as said before a drop...

Ah Shilo, The Home Station Welcome and I hope your enjoying Sunny Shilo.

The Russians probably couldn't believe their luck. Once the Germans were close, the Russinns would have started the final offensive, and with Germany overstretched in the West, the Iron Curtain probably would have ended up a the Rhine. As for the Allies being divided. The infighting between...

The problem with term limits is that you wash away the good with the bad. The are many MPs plugging along doing the work they were elected for and doing a good job for their constitants. Set term limits on Cabinet postions would be more effective. That is were the power corrupts thing happens...

    Lying and cheating politicians. Pretty blanket statement. It's a learned behavior because when they tell it like it is or will be ( a la Kim Campbell) they lose. Lesson learned. People are disinclined to hear bad news. (otherwise known as the truth). And what is a politician Most in Canada...

Question:  For those missiles coming over the North Pole. Where will they be intercepted, and would matter whether we are members of BMD or not? As for the analogy of the two houses, it is always preferable that the shoot out with the burglars happens in the other guys house.

All wars will have their protesters. The turn the other cheek crowd. So be it. Calling them "leftists". I don't know. The extreme left ain't exactly peacable. And the Anarchists, well I would think they belong to the extreme right. Should Saddam been removed unilaterally by the US. His been...

It is pretty cut and dried. You sign the dotted line, you make a commitment. Like a marriage, or richer or poorer, in good times or bad.... As a soldier (no matter how much or how little TI) doesn't t get to pick and choose with war to fight in. You get set where your told. I hesitate to use the...

Sometimes people (and RSMs) take things too seriously and the humour escapes them.... Its from being a cynic toooo long

And "Chiefs" are only in the Navy. I wouldn't advise using it on an Army CWO, particuallry an RSM.

a-majoor - agree. bubba - signal weak and unreadable, unintelligible garble - say again

Sorry for those who are reasoning this through, but I need to go off on a tangent for this post You better explain this one before I misunderstand. And in your opinion who "regular citizens" - Archie Bunker.

Head of Government (Legislative branch) in the US is The Speaker of the House and the Head of State is The President - separation of powers. If I remember correctly the Speaker is next in line after the Vice. As for caviar tastes, this maybe true, maybe not, but as I said above, you hears...

Sorry Michael for moving more off topic but: Look at most successful (read democratic) nations and you will see that the Head of State and Head of Government are separate. As for artist looking after themselves.. a bit myopic isn't it. A guess we should have told the GG to stay at home, we'll...

Trimming officers means at the top not the "sharp end". And how does a FOO get the experience to become a BC. Besides, The arty have a net that call fire from multi-bty-regts, something a MFC is also not eqpt for. There is a whole lot involved. weight and types of fire, Anchor OPs and Mobile...

Read above, The FOOs job is not only to call down fire, but be the Fire Support guru. I don't think the MFC has the tools to do the job or that matter NCMs because the FOO must advise and be heard by other officers.
