This isn't an either/or scenario, please do not misconstrue it as such. They can seize these items as being improperly declared AND do something more substantial (in terms of public safety). Given that THIS was the press release, it gives the appearance that this was their highest profile play...

Committing an offense is in an of itself, already illegal. I'm going to go out on a limb with the thought that criminals might not care about the nuance of committing an offense while they're illegally committing an offense. A black wooden carving could be used into an imitation firearm and...

As other have noted, the wording "shall not be visible" would be interpreted by those with a modicum of common sense, as the t-shirt physically not sticking out the neck hole or arm holes. Either that, or let the pedantry begin, and I'm going to start pointing out underwear-lines on some people...

Were you wearing a v-neck or crew-neck t-shirt? Crew neck would be against the regs because it is visible. If, however, the MWO questioned a proper "invisible" v-neck, I would ask them why they are looking so closely at your undergarments.

I might frame it that way if I had seen more violence and injuries perpetrated by the "belligerents" (aka protesters) against American civilians. Up to this point I have seen many more pages of linked videos of escalated unprovoked violence by law enforcement. This makes it hard to believe that...

Again....texting isn’t the problem...not sure how many ways people have to mention this before it sinks in. Your assessment of the threat surface (Sam texting his wife) and impact (destroying the planet), is childish and willfully dismissive of the issues at stake here. As other posters have...

You absolutely do not need to meet them in the middle. This minimizes the threat perception by the troops, and encourages skirting of the directives. Your scenario of realizing consequences to the troops involves physically observing when someone brings out a mobile to text, as an indication...

Mobile devices do not need to be actively sending texts in order to broadcast. They don't even need to be out of airplane/RF-secure mode, or even "on", in order to pose a danger.  (holding down a button until the screen goes black does not necessarily mean the device is completely powered down)...

How about the CAF tries something truly revolutionary, like educating members on making healthy choices as adults? I feel like this would be a more effective solution than trying to implement an ineffectual ban on energy drinks, soda, and cigarettes. Senior leadership often reaches for the...

Again I will quote from the instruction: "..unavailable for tasking or employment within unit." Go read the instruction. They even go so far to CAPITALIZE and bold certain key phrases that aren't getting through some thick middle-management's heads. Neither that instruction nor my post purport...

I'm not sure if you misunderstood my post, or if you are making an attempt at gas-lighting me. Nowhere in my post did I say that phoning the member was out of the question. I made the point that employing them during the 30 day protected period, however, was. I am glad you agree with that...

One can play with the term "on duty" as they like, but the order refers to employment ("...during which they are unavailable for tasking or employment"). If you are directing the member to come in to the office in the 30 day period prior to their approved release, you are employing them contrary...

What experience does the Infantry have in terms of safely operating and shutting down (taking over) propulsion control and ancillary systems? How many qualified bridge watchkeepers are in the Infantry? I suppose they could take your Infanteers and give them 5-8 years of MOC training. Seems a...

Well played. Is it too much to ask for both?

Then we should replace them with five lines of <insert scripting language here>, because they're worse than useless.

...and this is why the CAF is losing people left right and centre. How do large international companies maintain their effective workforce? By brow-beating them into ignoring their families needs? Not likely. Give the member the advice and resources, not judgement.

NPF != public funds, or am I missing something...

So you are saying that the only people who are the right fit for CAF are the ones who will do their job for free? If not, then we agree in principle that there is a value attached to attracting people with money, some more than others, we just disagree on how big the number is on the cheque.

Take the civilian equivalent to the trades you have mentioned, how many of them merit a six-figure salary for *starters*? Yes it is more complex. Evidenced by the point that all technical CSEC, NSA, GCHQ job posting require a minimum of an Undergrad (and many require varying degrees of post...

I disagree with your point of not scrutinizing talent more carefully (and passing along the savings on "non performers") to those that make the cut in terms of increased pay. This goes for the CyberOp trade and any others. As a contrived example to put a finer point, I believe that five very...
