No, we should have finished the fight - in WWII and Gulf War - treaties are made between tired warriors and lead to peace which unfortunately is a temporary situation.

Today, I received my letter through "VAC My account" requesting confirmation of Address, Banking and Direct Deposit.  Uploaded completed documents.  No $ amount mentioned in correspondence.

For context we should look at the history of GBA since it dates back 20+ years and is not something 'new'.  It has been 7+ years since the Privy Council added the + that includes: the consideration of other identity factors such as age, education, language, geography, culture and income.  So it...

I missed the mountain ops training as I went through Cornwallis for officer training in 1983.  Interesting to see Blue Jays cap from inaugural season (at 5:30) and the ineffective use of gas masks in the scene involving extraction through smoke (6:40), little did they know that they were...

Keep in mind that (as of Dec 2016) the average CAF member joins at age 23 and retires after 14 years service at age 37, and only approx. 20% of retirees register with VAC.  Therefore, tracking retired personnel is a difficult task and relating their future issues back to time in uniform is an...

Normally until the end of the fiscal year in which you retire and the messes and other financial organizations (supply, benefits, claims etc.) close their fiscal accounts you continue to receive a zero sum pay statement in case there are outstanding recoveries.  The end of fiscal year is not 31...

Not sure what you mean by "medically assist"?  If the soldier posted the JPSU (or any unit) wants to share the nature of his medical condition that is up to him/her, the CAF medical system cannot and will not share so that should be the case in all and not just some JPSU units.  I am not sure...

IMHO the desire by the current government to re-commence (old-style) peacekeeping operations in a place like Mali is ill-conceived. I remember writing a service paper for Staff School back in 1992 regarding Canada's prerequisites for our deployment of troops on a UN Mission.  I can't see to find...

If you entered the Forces since the files became digitized and you request a CD version of your files it can happen relatively quickly (1-2 months).  If your career spans the paper and digital time frames then you could receive both a paper and a CD version of the relevant information.  It is...

And how many decades has it taken to understand that this situation (and stigma) has affected so many, such that thousands of people would not go for an annual physical/PHA.

Received this one for Christmas as well.  Interesting insight into South Africa.  I also happened to see his 2013 comedy stage act on Comedy Central in the last few days, titled Trevor Noah: African American http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3043546/  It is also an interesting take on a new arrival to...

This TED Talk is being touted a lot lately and quite frankly I did not find it very good. He is very emotional and invested but...much like the Bystander scenarios, is the best that can be offered in terms of setting standard? University of Calgary has a program titled Respect in the...

As for General Mattis's, he stated back 2014 that some participants come out of war as better human beings/soldiers/Marines and that 'not everyone who served are damaged goods'. Mental health professionals have struggled for decades with where to put PTSD and OSI on the mental health spectrum. ...

Are serving members saying that between Aug 2015 and the date of the survey they had no better understanding of what inappropriate sexual behaviour is? The CDS Op Honour Op Order under para 13 stated: Lines of Effort.  Any harmful and inappropriate sexual behaviour is a real and serious...

One of the things I am referring to is this, "The first progress report covering from July to December 2015 mapped out the Canadian Armed Forces’ headway in implementing both Operation HONOUR objectives and the External Review Authority’s recommendations over the first phase of the effort. It...
