I'd recommend to everyone that they watch "Shake Hands With the Devil".  It's a docudrama adapted from LGen. Dallaire's book.  Very powerful.  Canada, with it's troop levels in country as they were would have been foolish to try and stop the genocide by itself, as their bodies would have just...

Hello, First, you should probably read the currently existing thread in this board about ROTP 2010-2011, as most of the answers are there.  Offers will go out fairly soon, I'd guess by the middle of next month.  Everything will become more clear then, but in the mean time, just keep building...

Heh, I suppose that that would be prudent, given the failure rate of the MARS phase training.  Being already active military circles here at home, there is a relatively good chance that I may need it.  It may not be terribly necessary, but I feel that I should get it as soon as it is within my...

That will be 4 by the end of the summer :p!

I am a Legion member, primarily because I feel that it is one of the best organizations to support.  Some branches have many problems, (RecceGuy, are you referring to a certain branch near Jefferson?) but others are still doing many valiant things.  I do think that more Forces members should...

Would it be possible for you to post the contents here?  I do not have DIN access. Thanks.

I'm guessing that by convince, he meant get the entire department to change the official policy.

Thanks, recceguy.  I was thinking it was a word like zeroing, but this seems to be it.

What is the name of the distance to where the bullets from 2 wing-fired machine guns meet in front of the pilot? It is the red line in the crude diagram I've attached.  The orange are bullet streams! It has been bugging me for a week now, and I can't think of a way to Google it. Thanks for...

MKC, I knew that the PO ranks were like that, but I didn't know it carried on to the Chiefs.  Thank you for correcting me. As for the divisions,  I was using NATO rank codes to compare the respective levels, but you have personal experience, which is always better. ekpiper

I can corroborate TheBlackCat's info, as the PO handling my CT also told me the same thing WRT when letters will go out. 

Hello CMT, First, welcome to these forums! As a point of technicality, we're not called the Royal Canadian Navy anymore, just Canadian Navy, or most correctly, Canadian Forces Maritime Command.  This has been in effect for 42 years now, following the unification of our forces under one...

Hi Dave, I'm guessing that your post was actually in a new thread, but you didn't see tis already active thread, nor search. The details of the promotion are given above. ekpiper

I think it's time that we bring back the rum ration!  For all ranks, of course.

I think that at this point in the thread, I can safely advise: "Don't feed the trolls"

That would be very interesting indeed.  I suppose that he would not only be stripped of his presidency, but also charged with some kind of fraud and holding an office illegitimately.  WRT the LCol, I suppose that he would technically be disobeying a legal order, since it was passed down likely...

In my opinion, the NCdt rank should be consistent with the implementation of the curl.  So either they have it on both mess and service dress, or they haven't got it on either. Whether or not they should have it is another matter.  I suppose I would use other countries as a source of...

PencilTech, That image isn't official CF.  I named it that just to distinguish it from the source image I borrowed from FSTO. 

Well, from current info, here are the new rank insignia.

To be honest, from a financial point of view, the points system really does make sense.  This we, the CF expends only what is required by its members, and no more.  $500/yr x 90,000 CF members = $45 million, and while that isn't entirely saved, you can bet your bottom dollar that we go through...
