I tend to agree with the statement that our political leadership is unlikely to endorse another foreign mission.  The big bugaboo with our current government is Arctic Sovereignty.  I think it is much more likely that this is where we are likely to see our defense dollars spent.

CIC members are not deployable.  The fitness standard is different.  And CIC can serve until age 65.

Really?  Why is it so important for you to register, post a link to a disparaging article and ask for comments at the linked site as opposed to here?  I know from reading previous posts on various forums here that the opinions are varied on the value of those of us in the CIC.  It gets a...

I would address them as Sir, or Ma'am.  If you are going to be an officer cadet soon  you will need to get in the habit of doing so anyway.  ;D

I stand corrected here is the quote from CATO 13-07.  You cannot be a member of the CIC and a cadet. 2. The provisions for eligibility for membership in a cadet unit are outlined in Chapter 4 of the Queen’s Regulations and Orders (Cadets) (QR(Cadets)). The provisions for enrolment in the...

What Gun Runner said.  You have made a very large generalization based upon the interaction you had with a few people.  I too encourage my cadets (when they ask) to broaden their military horizons.  I have gone as far as helping to arrange a question and answer session between our affiliated...

If you go to Cadets.gc.ca or cadets.ca and follow the links to your particular region IE Prairie Region, Pacific Region, etc you should be able to find a link to the Regional UCCMA or advisor.  Any complaint you would talk with him or her about would be properly investigated.  The Regional...

Safetysoff, that is a very broad generalization of "global climate change".  But it is no worse that the climate models that have been used to predict the "coming global warming disaster I hear so much about.  Living in northern Alberta and with winter rapidly approaching I would welcome a...

Would love that spatzle recipe and if you could throw one in for the jaegershnitzel? Attention all personel. Attention all personel.  Snowball, Snowball, snowball. I remember it well.  Our Regimental Assembly Area was infested with these little white spiders, poisonous little things. Somedays it...

My best grouping with the C1A1 at 600m was 20 rounds into 12".  You can call it fluke but I was aiming for it.  Only ever did that once though so maybe it was a fluke.  ;D

RIP Soldier.  Condolences to comrades, friends and faamily.  :salute:

Confirm, OPME is still free.

I am posting this to prove Army sailors point. We are CTing a recently retired RF Sgt into the unit from the supp reserve.  We are fortunate to be able to take advantage of his training and experience and consider ourselves lucky he would like to help out.  He is of course very happy that he can...

It is now nearly a year further on and it has been a good year.  We have 5 other applications nearly through the process.  One applicant has been through the medical and interview with the remaining right behind.  We have also been fortunate in being able to CT a recently retired RF SGt from the...

As an aside to the main topic, things have changed a wee bit out in "the patch" at least rig wise.  They are a little more discriminating about who they hire nowadays.  I have to agree on the diabetic emergency in the bush though, I have also seen it pop up.  You can't do anything about it if...

No offense, but you were in a school zone.  If it weren't for being in the school zone I would have agreed with your side as I can see the stupidity behind the ticket.  Bad luck, force of habit, and unfortunately they didn't give you a break.  Live and learn I suppose, right?   We all make...

Another sad day.  My heart is heavy.  Rest in peace.  Rest in Peace.  :salute: :salute:
