Wow, reading the last few pages was taxing, so I will answer in roughly point on the points that concern me, because I don't think we are going to agree. Battle Honours: Please document and explain CIC on Operations: Who is this guy and what did they need him for, oh wait did the Serbs start a...

Army Guy... the CIC have a place and the CCM is very good organization for the youth of Canada, but you don't call cadets...Soldiers, So you can't really think that CIC Officers are military officers. What do you (CIC) do to assist Infanteer to close with and destroy the enemy, I know what I...

Initially, we would train them differently but if thier taskings went outside this weapons system. They all would understand the principles of the other systems and be familiar with their proceedures, but the live fire would be on their own system...

At the HA that Afganistan is at, the Tax break is automatic. However, the moderate risk operations such as Op Palladium, are on a case by case basis. The tax break is comfirmed for Palladium, but since this "new" Op Bronze I'm not sure if it is continued. However, Gunner is saying it is , so...

Ghost that is a good question, not just specifically to H.A.S, but in general. Why would someone keen on the military, young, and who could meet the standards want to look after cadets, when they could be doing some pretty interesting stuff and leading soldiers. I know for myself, I spent 9...

Think of it this way, one reserve Regt would field mortars, another guns. If you are in the first regt your QL3 would consist of Basic mortarman, if you were in the second... C3. Much the same as the AD, when they had 3 weapons systems, unit's would train thier reservists to QL3 standard...

Brad, I'm up in Petawawa... So you you don't have a designated Liason Officer?

I was once a CIL Officer, and I believe I was well on my way to becoming one of those power-tripping 23 year old Capts, but I stopped short and joined the Regular force instead. And realistically, I prefer to bash army reservists, because most of them wear skirts and have funny hats.. And the...

Hopefully Airborne Soon, Put you pride on the back shelf for a second and tell me what you think of having CIC officers complete all the crse to take them to Capt, before they can get a commission (ignore the pay issue for right now). Because for the most part CIC officer training would take...

Good or Bad, Reservists have at least been given training that will take them to a standard, they have the building blocks to develop under guidence. The CIC have not being given this training nor are the required to meet a standard, for progression through the ranks. If you were to combine all...

Bean, agreed that CIC officers provide a service and are a major contributor to the youth of Canada. The only contribution to the CF that they would make for be as indirect recruiters. Any no one would argue that MOs and JAGs are warfighters, but their services directly support warfighting...

Hopefully Airborne soon,                     Granted I'm baseing my opinions on only two regions, Atlantic and Ontario, and only 2 of the elements Air and Army. That being said I have no first hand knowledge of a Navy CIC Officer outwest. I'm not personnally attacking the CIC officers...

The Cadets used to start their mile and a half at (what were PMQs) near the memorial Arch the would then run  pretty much your route in reverse, around the point and stop about 300 m short of the arch... Add Fort Henry to the Run

They probably just changed the name so that they woundn't get the tax break.

Now, I'm not extensively familiar with the new DP model, this is as close to it as I can get. CAP- Basic Infantry Section Comd within a Platoon frame work. The don't expect you to be come an infantry section commander full stop, but they expect you to learn soldier skills and develop as a...

Our UAV guys did have a ground school and were provided Pilots as advisors, does anyone one know the depth of the ground school, was it a couple of days or weeks.

I would say that the CIC officer's profession is as a youth leader. I can agree with that, and I think that their time should be specifically dedicated to leading youth and developling themselves as youth leaders. For there is a tremendous requirement for the cadet organization in Canada, and...

It's alright C Bty Gunner... most of his Regt comes in to work when they feel like it and could muster about a Bty on a good day. They don't fire live ammunition, at least not to any extent required. And it is true they may have a role in the future.... but it won't have anything to do with the...

Good question CFL, I imagine the americans have an 40 pers staff per UAV and it's probably a trade in the air force for them. But I'm only guessing.

Maybe the 2 person concept would work, in fact it would probably be ideal. But maybe over kill, a waist of a million dollar pilot... be don't even have FOOs working in those trailers.
