Jungle, I stand corrected, excellent info. That must have been a cold jump, was it the entire Battle Group...

Bill, SOVOPs in the Arctic have been conducted for years by regular force units augmented by the reserve force in some situations. Having the 2RCR augmented by the militia is not surprising but the exercise and op cannot be organized by the militia, the do not have the staff to put together a...

oh Primer, that‘s his friends checking out his site. It does stand to reason that if he is in Cadets, some of his friend are going to be in Cadets. He doesn‘t mention anything about cadets in there, so other than some stronger than I like language, there is nothing wrong with it.

Shortt, I completely agree that some form of voice is required, because a computer read out cannot accurately describe the dire situation that the supported arm might be in. Voice creates a sense of urgency in the person executing the fire orders. Yeah, arty nets can get pretty crazy but...

Here is a question, to the gunners. With the improved comms in the system, should we be even sending missions (both OP to CP and CP to Guns) by voice. Does voice have any advantage or should we be strictly data. Or should it be some sort of strange combination of the two(From the CP end who...

Wes, did you have a chance to work on the LG1 before you went south? And I most certainly agree with you on the work horse 105C2, and the improvements in developing the C3 are nice and necessary. LG1s do make a nice tactical gun line, when not engaged.

Yeah Dano, I intended junior to mean newer to the corps...so you got my intent. About the guys that think your rank does not mean as much because you out performed them and were promoted ahead of them, they will always be around. That is of course based on my limited experience, so maybe they...

There are C3s comming to the Regts, where they are comming from I do not know. But it will most probably not be an exchange of LG1 for C3. The M109s are leaving and we must replace them with something... From the sharp end the C3 and LG1 are remarkably similar systems....And a few of the bugs of...

I tend to agree with Sgt McWatt, Dano you are quite junior to be a Sgt, but then again you only have 5 years to make chief. Dano providing this promotion is based (and I assume it is) on your good performance, then your superiors must feel that you are ready, so congratulations. But maybe your...

Colin, I understand you comments, probably many of your friends are in the CIC and you knew them to be good cadets. And don‘t get me wrong there are plenty of good people out there who are in the CIC who are interested in being a good CF officer and supervising cadets. However, these good people...

That is good to see, thanks

Colin, you do bring up some good points about the back woods cadet corps, and like I said changes would have to be tempered with common sense. Would you shut down a corps because there was no one avail to take the training, absolutely not. A question I would have to ask: Why would the CIC not...

What I‘m talking about is a near perfect world, but it is not a completely un do able suggestion. OCdt for 3 years and attend the Current crses or 1 year with 1 full summer of Basic Officer Training. Those would be more acceptable options, but then again these may have to be compromised to keep...

They let CIC officers be RSOs on C7 Ranges...Sound kinda dangerous, wait... now that I think about it there are some that I wouldn‘t be completely nervious about.

If it is 2 Summers of training, then I would have no problem with a 1 year period, and during the year in the middle, they apprentice a CIC commissioned officer.

Colin, that is a completely different argument, I definately don‘t agree with people walking in off the street getting commissions, just because they attended university. Then again, they may wear these ranks but they are still under training where as the CIC officers are expected to do an...

Honestly, I don‘t know the rules surrounding the supervision, but if the system would allow a delayed development period for CIC then the could base the supervision of Cadets on qualification crses rather than the rank. This would allow OCdts on Corps level OJT develop and learn, possibly...

Sorry, Feist... I was not really that clear in my last post... in principle I agree with you..

I fought this battle, referance the CWIC, I was told by an Air ACO that it was required, I have yet to find it in print (I really haven‘t looked that hard). They told me I was not allow to supervise the cadets on a winter ex... Feist, what a degree gives people is life experience. It can be...
