All of the CAC instructors are selected from across the CF vice a specific environment.  Like every organization in the CF some are outstanding and some need further development.  However, every single one of them volunteered and then was selected to undergo very challenging and strenuous...

The CAC programme has been a work in progress since 2005.  Prior to 2005 CAC was a 45 minute lecture taught by a relatively young Lt on a QL3 course.  The CAC policy was rewritten and a pilot instructor course run in 2005.  After that, each year another instructor course was run.  The problem is...

Yes, facts are what's missing.  CAC is broken into Level A, B, and C.  C comes with a practical exercise.  None of the levels take three weeks.  The Instructor course is 5 - 6 weeks. 

Interesting juxtaposition.  This thread was started in 2001 and just this year the infantry rifle companies are over strength by about 20 - 40 soldiers each.  As well a special VOT was opened up to offer infanteers the opportunity to transfer out to reduce numbers.  So, perhaps a comparison of...

I'm not so sure placing the tank squadron under RC (S) is a good idea.  This is dated however, when the squadron first deployed to KAF, RC (S) refused to let the BG deploy them outside the wire.  They sat inside KAF for quite some time before the BG CO and the Squadron OC came up with a cunning...

Minister Blackburn holds a degree in administration and has been a businessman all of his life.  He is a manager and administrator and has no connection with the military nor an understanding of the environment.  Perhaps its' time to put someone in the job that actually understands what military...

I prefer the British approach of turning everyday words into expletives.  "This plan is complete pants!' or "What a gibbon!" and I could go on.

I think the Iranian clerics are blaming this tremor on Boobquake not the TPS.

This discussion is interesting in that it replicates the same discussions (maybe without the emotion here) that is going on at the international level.  So far there is no agreed upon common definition among the international community of terrorism and what constitutes a terrorist act.  Even the...

Reference?  Not off hand as we are deployed right now.  Payment plan - yes.  However, what we did do was approach the CM, have the soldier put on IR and back dated the IR so he ended up with enough funds to cover off the error.

I would offer that people check and double check before accepting PLD.  Do not take for granted that you think you are entitled.  A soldier of mine was given PLD in Toronto upon enrolment, attended St Jean, then the ATC.  When the soldier arrived in Petawawa at the unit, and processed through...

In terms of Op MEDUSA, there's more to it that a few simple lines in a post.  In fact all through work up trg the 1 RCR BG trained COIN ops.  There was no expectation of a stand up battle with the insurgents.  Through the summer months the 1 PPCLI BG probed more and more in the Zari District...

The suspect is claiming he worked alone, yet that is rarely the case.  There will be at least one, if not more, in support roles.  A financier at least, perhaps a coordinator.  Even Timothy McVeigh had help.  The Millennium Bomber - Ahmed Ressam - had a couple of co-conspirators.  Ted...

Just for research purposes, which Canadian Forces Policy is it?

Its also an opportunity to demonstrate the utility of the renewed Joint Deployable HQ being established in Kingston.
