Many failures associated with this.  How the hell did he get out alone?  If he snapped, was no one watching him?  Was his immediate C2 now aware of his well being?  If he did not snap, how did a psychopath deploy to begin with? We are a team. As a Snr NCM, a WO, I have responsibilities to my...

Well, there is a time and place for everything. The military however should be placing the imperative on operational effectiveness first and fore most, not fiscal responsibility. Want to limit the military's spending in that environment? Define what the military does for operations.

Why is it I always forget the SJA cadets? My girlfriend is going to kill me for that. And fair enough... A belated "as far as I know...". The cadet program has it's issues, but but it is a good program because of the volunteers (in and out of uniform). Further, SJA and CF Cadets, are free by...

Actually, we do have a contract with BlackBerry. It is the "smartphone" of choice for the CF after all. These quotes from both parties are disheartening. Are they really that clueless?

I thought of CT a long time ago. But, I was also disillusioned with the system at the time... Was thinking "mark time" til pension time then get out. Then along came PSYOPS, CIMIC and IO. "Wow, the CF does truly care about winning!" I said to myself. My disillusionment vanished, and I got on...

In Ontario, I know of at least one CBG that has mandated that all reserve units will develop an IA capability. The unit I am currently employed with is exceptionally supportive of my voluntary duties with my home unit. Crazy thing is, I would suggest that given the evenings and weekends...

  I put to you an exception to the rule. New capabilities which the CF has seen fit to develop can not be properly managed by the Reg F because of the transient nature of the Reg F. Influencing Activities (PSYOPS, IO and CIMIC) require years of training and study to get truly competent in...

Not gonna lie, I lost my stuffing when I read that article. I had to read it three times just to try and figure out if this clown was joking or being sarcastic. I presume that this MP in question will be the first to stand to and vote "nay" on any changes at all to federally controlled pensions...

For my own part, I want nothing to do with this fiasco. All or none, pretty simple. Their are other, more appropriate awards for excellent service and soldiers, sailors and airmen who are deserving should get those and not some trinket trivialized by issuance to people for being in the right job...

Yikes. I just love how Mr Staples attempts to sell himself as "unbiased" WRT his recent testimony on the F35. Mr Staples needs to accept that he is indeed very biased WRT all things military... Nothing wrong with being biased. We are all biased. I also find it troubling that he is a...

Sorry Moe, but we do not swear someone in unless we have a line serial. At least not my unit, or any unit I know of. We do not do weapons training, unless the member is, well... A member, sworn in and in uniform.

From my experience as a past recruiter for a reserve unit, I can say that a candidate who presented them self well, had a decent resume, would go further up the priority list when there was limited numbers. Your job experience tells us that you do handle authority well, you are physically...

To echo what ArmyVern has said, I have conducted several disciplinary investigations and drafted several RDPs. I do not write the RDP unless I am certain the outcome is guilty. Yes, yes, cart before the horse and all that, but remember, the summary trial process is not going to deal with major...

*Gonna bow out on Strike's advice and better judgement.

http://www.citytv.com/edmonton/show/news/article/167400?showuid=78194 A news article that still works seems to say otherwise.

Andrew, by all accounts, you are a good man. Do not let the negativity of the small man get you down. As others have indicated, your strength and generosity has helped build a large network of friends, a network that I hope you will see has grown a bit today. Stay strong. When necessary, lean...

Fair enough, we only have the one side of the story. But, at the end of the day, the other guy is choosing to not press charges... Where the hell are the charges coming from to begin with? Why are the charges so serious? Was that quarter of a million pounds or dollars in that prosecution tab...

Dear god, I knew that the British are desperate to reduce government spending... Is this just a ploy to reduce the numbers in the military? This charge is simply insane!

Hey now... I AM special because my mom told me so... It is why I never take off my tacvest and helmet (does get a little uncomfortable in the shower tho...).

As someone who has volunteered with the local Army cadets, and was an Air Cadet, your comment lacks an informed opinion and smacks of prejudice and malice. The cadets is the ONLY free youth organization out there. The only one. All the others (Scouts etc.) require some sort of money to...
