    Detroit declares bankruptcy

    Another piece of info that is being left out is that the metro area has over 3.5 million people.  The city itself is around 700K.  There are still many people doing quite well in the area.  Anyone who has ever been through Detroit will see that it is an old, rundown and beat up city.  Believe it...

    Detroit declares bankruptcy

    They already milked that one.  "Robocop" Maybe the world's largest paintball site? It was already mentioned about salvaging buildings, and I am guessing that all the good stuff is probably already gone.  Heck, the sewer covers have been stolen, I'm pretty sure the copper in the houses is...

    Friendship and social life in the CAF

    I believe it comes down to sharing the same experiences.  Like real brothers come from the same town, grew up in the same neighborhood and had most of the same hardships, they understand each other like no other can. In the military it is the same, even though you are not blood related.  The...

    Tim Hortons in Theatre Merged Thread (in AFG, no plans to preposition)

    I am quite, very, absolutely certain that those cards will reach the hands of the right persons coming in for HLTA/break/whatever.

    Tim Hortons in Theatre Merged Thread (in AFG, no plans to preposition)

    PAdm, We love your efforts, but we must keep it in context or relation, or at least, we must keep it real. As much as I appreciate Timmie's, I will always take a 12 hour old, bottom of the pot, tar type liquid coffee in a heart beat. Soldiers need bullets, water, food and fuel, in that order.

    NSA Whistle-blower Ed Snowden

    Wow, nothing like being in a hole and reaching for a bigger shovel! At first I didn't want to put him into the same category as the wikileaks/hackers bunch, but I guess that is where he wants to be... assuming the above article is true. None of these persons distributing information... IT IS...

    NSA Whistle-blower Ed Snowden

    Disobeying an unlawful command and not complying is not the same thing as spreading incomplete and unauthorized information based on what you believe to be true.

    Combat Team of tomorrow? Mechanized Infantry Company of tomorrow?

    Not permanently as I see the same issues as you do for career implications, and if you ever need someone to argue against the OBG, I'm your guy.  But, an arty mortar plt/coy attached to BG on top of the gun bty makes sense to me.  Of course the situation would have to warrant it, and if the...

    Combat Team of tomorrow? Mechanized Infantry Company of tomorrow?

    No, I am not, but that could be an option if the threat warranted it.  The debate boils down to who should man the mortars at the bn/BG level, even cbt tm.  My main argument is that the mortars should come from the arty, where as others believe that mortars should be organic to the bn.  I...

    Combat Team of tomorrow? Mechanized Infantry Company of tomorrow?

    Kevin, I think we agree on the end state than an Inf Bn/Coy Comd should have mortars in support whenever he needs them.  I also think we agree that they should be held at the bn.  Where we differ is the means of accomplishing this.  You are stating that they should be permanently part of the...

    Combat Team of tomorrow? Mechanized Infantry Company of tomorrow?

    I know I have mentioned this before, but I will again.  I don't think it matters who is manning the tubes or guns, whether it be artyman, infantry or god help us crewman.  The idea of organic assets i.e. assets that cannot be stripped away is counter productive.  Fires need to be amassed at the...

    CANFORGEN on Pay and PIL

    Are you one of those persons that writes to fan club and thinks that the person responding is that actual star? Dude, there are a lot of things that can make each case unique and to think that anyone has a special eye on your one specific case is not only naïve, but also arrogant, even if your...

    Combat Team of tomorrow? Mechanized Infantry Company of tomorrow?

    So what I am inferring from your plan is that all armd and inf regts will have their own organic fire support. I guess the guns will just go on leave and wait for you guys to get tired of blowing yourselves up and knocking helos out of the sky?  ;D Perhaps it is just semantics, but once you...

    The education bubble

    I wonder of this had to do with entrepreneurs understanding that there was little money in pre-university schooling (BTW it is a shame that post secondary is a profit organization). Entrepreneurs want to make money, not tie it up in bureaucracy.

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    This is a big deal for me.  The alternative is to have broken air force folks attempting to learn army tactics/operations on the fly.  Air force no doubt need to be there, just not alone. I get it that it is pointless to learn tactics/drills/doctrine of a piece of equipment that we will never...

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    That is interesting and something that we should keep a grip on if we ever expect to get the AD capability back effectively.

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    I agree with pretty much all you have said, especially the wide variety statement in the last sentence.  Yeah, I forgot about 4 AD, but you can pretty much remove the AD part and insert GSR.  It's just a tradition thing now, and who knows, by the time the OP gets in they may have an AD...

    The education bubble

    I think there is another factor at play here.  I'm just spitballing, but do you think that there maybe a higher percentage of boys now making their X-box and other "friend networks" a priority? Don't get me wrong, I had a 2600.  But, I also seen the sun shine a few hours a day and generally had...
