Isn't that what the "combat bus" is for. (Sarcasm)

Yes it was reversed after I handed over command as the person who implemented it as a Maj (after convincing the Bde Comd it was a great deal) became the CO of one of the Units that had to live with it. Surprise, she thought it was great when it wasn't her problem, but apparently it sucked when...

As CO of the Halifax Rifles, I had 0 clerks or OR of any type. The OR was centralized for 3 units and I was not the CO of the OR. The Unit that was in charge chose a 2Lt to "command" it. It was an abject failure. I complained when I took over to no avail.

Oh ye of little faith, "Digital Sovereignty" will sort all of that out for us.....eventually. Just ask the cohere team.

There are definitely those on here with more experience/knowledge than I, but your story has a few holes they will need filled in so I'll start that process. 1. Just to confirm, you are being released 5D from the CAF and you are/were at CFLRS taking recruit training? 2. You talk about...

Anyone taking bets that the first one off the slips is named after Trump (Assuming he hasn't been otherwise taken out of the picture by natural causes). And it will have a "Command" chair all in gold?

Politicians that accept no risk, and citizens who generally haven't experienced any personal discomfort as a result of war/terrorism since WWII.

Eurika, I have the solution. Ban all Firearms like the UK. While not a total ban, it's close enough: Weapons subject to a general prohibition (requiring special Home Office authority) include: Most handguns (firearms with a barrel under 30 cm or overall length under 60 cm), with narrow...

RE: the RCD moving, my understanding is it was both through a desire to locate tanks together, but more importantly due to the lack of maint pers and facilities in Gagetown once techs were posted out (or not there in the first place). There simply wasn't the resources to maintain them in Gagetown.

Agreed. Word of mouth is our best/most dangerous advertisement we have and we allow bad leaders to continue down the trace with no consequences.

All of these ideas have some degree of merit (based on your own perspective), but isn't the "real" answer "Stop making being in the Army, Navy, Air Force suck"? Think about this from an outsider's view: we don't have enough kit to go around and what we do have is mostly tapped out. Hell we...

I had a Dodge Dakota where you had to lift the engine to replace the oil pan. Traded it the next month and did not replace the oil pan.

What about this: The programme starts with a very good communications plan and we lay out the expectations/requirements in advance, including pulling the emotional strings about service before self, benefits, etc... Then we acquire/build/lease sufficient space across the country to conduct the...

Don't forget the myriad of mandated DLN, School of public service, etc.... courses. That alone would keep them busy 1-2 of those 5 days. And who is going to administer and track these people? What about all the ones who will break themselves during that annual training? How are they looked...

It has not improved IMO (at least in 5XX)

Maybe for some, but definitely not for all.

Because that's where 2 Div HQ is?

Perhaps. Then they would be just like the Browning.

I did, but based on his prices his stuff is out of my range.

Looking to make a gift a Snr NCO Trophy to my former unit. They have a variety of weapons for other trophies and I wanted to add a Browning to the mix. Doesn't need to be in good shape but would be nice if it had all of it's external parts. Not looking to spend a fortune. Let me know if you...
