    Mess Kits

    There doesn't need to be such an attack on the guy, there are people with decades of service that don't know the dress regs. For instance a black tie is the only authorized tie. Look at the descriptions in annex E for air force mess kit. Being air force you can wear the tartan or branch approved...

    Purple Trades: Definition & Trg Discussion

    got ya, seen. This is the same arguement with JLC, CLC, ISCC....lol IIRC the old Jr NCO had a field portion. Trades don't need section attacks, just be able to handle a weapon and live in the field along with the mentality, life in the field is grand.

    Purple Trades: Definition & Trg Discussion

    Even if they maintain everyone should have an SQ, they will soon find there wasn't the resources to do it, just like they did in the first place. What is the major difference between PLQs?

    "Army crisis grows as SAS commander quits"

    I would be more sympathetic for a commander who was relieved, for crossing the line to look out for his troops. Retiring when they are needed the most can lead to someone less concerned taking over and really putting it to the troops.

    CANFORGEN 97/08 LDA FAQs

    They should have just given a blanket raise instead. Just another item to consider when being posted. As for going to the school for a break....  :o. Is there a school, I don't know about. I'd like to go there

    "Army crisis grows as SAS commander quits"

    Thats what I read, they didn't get jobs they wanted. As for getting the funding, you just got to keep at it.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    What has long been known as Canada's "second national anthem," CBC's Hockey Night in Canada theme song, will no longer be used.

    Integrating lessons from Afghanistan into individual trg & Trg for war vs trg for this war

    Having been at a few schools, they are better staying within units. They can use their experience to train those who will be deploying again. Bashing your head against a wall at schools really hurts

    BFT+Air Force deployment policy...I don't get it !!!!

    Whats the problem? The army consistantly makes their own policies even when the CF has one in place. The BFT was put into place as a measure of "bona fide occupational requirements" for the Land Force. (the army disappeared in the 60s). Personally, I like the BFT but even the army does it wrong...

    Hillier says Forces in 'war for talent' to boost ranks - CP

    I was refering to courses that should take 10 weeks, being squished into 7, instead of getting rid of a PO (a little risk management there but better than trying to do it all and acomplishing nothing) Basically I'm talking about Mobilization MOSIDs. As for the bottom third, there is always a...

    Hillier says Forces in 'war for talent' to boost ranks - CP

    The point is that I don't have control over the government, and typically a slow down in operations will cause a slow down in funding. We only look at updating and acquiring new gear when we are using the old crap. I can, however, affect changes at my level, with support from higher. That is...
