    Single mom now facing medical release from military

    BWT would be understandable then, I heard from my navy relatives that BWT grants no quarter to candidates.  If still under training and unable to train, what do you do?  The system is haphazard at best.  I know of one single parent trainee who had achieved the rank of Cpl (from 2Lt), 2 different...

    Difference between superior officer and senior officer

    Someone sorted me out last time so I return the favor.  Senior officer has two meaning in the CF.  The QR&O meaning and as a term applied to those between Capt and GO.  Note that Col are treated as GO for career purposes but are still Senior officers. ...

    Canada's New Defence Minister

    At least, "he whose name no one in the army will speak" the honourable gentlemen from Orleans is not being mentioned in connection with DND.  There is that. This seems to be causing some misunderstanding I mean LtGen (Retired) Leslie.  There you made me say it.

    Single mom now facing medical release from military

    This is why we need to militarize the Great Lakes again, so sailors can commit to an 8 hour day can sail too!  Seriously, I was part of a service couple back in the early 80s when you served at the pleasure of the Queen and the CSM.  I was PPCLI and my wife Fd Amb, we made it work. ...

    Rubberized Cargo Pack

    This is a radio operators pack for a prc515.  This pack fits on the outside of the radio on its pack frame.  The radio frame provides the shoulder straps.  The wide bottom is extra space for the valise. Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk

    Defining Foreign and Defence Policy (and hence our Military Force)

    You do not understand politics do you?  Optics are more important than substance in politics, especially in a Democracy because by the time you have to do something, the public is voting you out.  It's always the next guy's problem.

    Unveiling of New CANSOFCOM Dress Uniform

    Not quite.  The CAR was given elite status but populated with a lot of dregs of the leg units and almost never used.  There is a much higher standard to getting in the CSOR and they are a much more disciplined and experienced unit.  Everyone I knew who went to the CAR was given a jump course to...

    Unveiling of New CANSOFCOM Dress Uniform

    There is definitely that.  I suppose they will have their own regimental hat badge to go with their regimental command badge.......  Nothing says Special Forces like a unique uniform AND unique hat badge AND unique command badge.

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    You sound like the crowd on Gunnutz.  The party did not do anything, one leader campaign staff member did something and it has been traced to that campaign.  The party set the rules and a campaign staff broke them.  There will be a disciplinary action taken.  AND it was not the campaign that...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    It's been traced to one leader campaign and the party has given that candidate a choice of losing his deposit or offending up the offending staff member.  Wait and see right now.

    Defining Foreign and Defence Policy (and hence our Military Force)

    Concur, just words to show the EU the Liberal government still loves them.  Meaningless tripe followed by a military rebuilding plan that will start the year the Liberals know they can no longer win an election.  Which is followed by a shrug and a "we tried but Canadians said no".

    Gulf Cooperation Council member states break off relations with Qatar

    Read the Qatar Wiki page.  Qatar is engaging in general elections, women's suffrage, free press, just to name a few.  There is as much support for terrorist in Qatar as there is in Saudi, it's just the groups each financing.
