Nope, that building is a highschool now

Back in the mid 2000s I did my BMQ in the RCMP PRTC in Chilliwack. Guys did SQ there as well.

Hmm not much training area, dated infrastructure, hours from a real air port? Sounds like an ideal location for a training base. I wish that was sarcasm

Great news, hopefully it translates to retention.

I get the issue with those who often carry them being the worst trained - certainly the executive course of IBTS is something weve all seen happen. I would suggest though that if the threat is such you dont need a readied weapon - and your worried your soldiers and officers can't handle them...

Expertise and able to handle it safely aren't the same thing. One doesnt need to be an expert to keep the weapon holstered. Sure but again thats a training failure. Should we adopt our policies based on the expectation that we won't actually conduct mandated annual refresher training? Again...

If you do the training package that the C22 mandates, it's fairly robust and should result in comfort with a readief pistol. That said I reiterate the issue is that we should begin training with a pistol on the assumption you'll carry it loaded and readied. The problem becomes now we have to...

I would actually hazard a guess and say the CAF is probably the only organization in the country that doesnt begin pistol training with the pistol in the holster, to include the load ready drill ending with a return to holster.

Every police service in the country does this. Manual safeties are largely seen as obsolete one combat hand guns. Glocks use a trigger safety for example. A pistol should be bolstered with a round chambered. That keeps anything beyond the shooter from operating the trigger. Frankly if Brink's...

If you did something from 1869 to 1949 that obviously makes it more important than what you did from 1949 to 2026, the 3 year difference is critical.

the Commonwealth Prime Ministers Conference decided to drop the title of Dominion in 1949. That supersedes the 1867 act. Its been moved on from, is no longer in use, and holds 0 meaning legally or culturally.

"Dominion" has be scrapped from Federal law since 1951 and it stopped being relevant in 1931. The last piece of it all died with Canada Day was officially renamed in 1982. It doesnt appear in law, or the constituation here or in Britain. The UK refers to Canada as a Realm of the Commonwealth.

I for one am shocked

What a reasonable and rational group of people.

Yes but this is a deliberate single view exclusive thread.

As long as the BMI going up means the calorie allotment goes down.

I jusr like being able to email all my claim documents vs assembling a duotang of old receipts.

Sorry this is a deeply flawed comment. Youre conflating Air to Air munitions and Air to Ground. A-10s are flying without their self defence load of AIM9s. You probably aren't flying air AI or CAS if youre so short of air to air weapons that you can't fly DCA or OCA missions. Similarly the use...

Cell phone cameras have really helped out there.

You'd free up a lot of NIS's time if you stood down the Cadet program.
