Yes, because everyone in the NCR is a useless tool trying to prevent the "real" members from performing. <insert yet another inane joke about HQ here> If your goal is to come across like Scott Taylor, well played... You sound like a Cpl that doesn't know what they don't know.

100% My question is about LAV crews vs. dismounts. Though, in fairness, I'm also unsure about the plan for gunners and armoured crew.

You clearly didn't even attempt to understand my reply you quoted earlier. My entire point was that we have seen over the course of years/decades/centuries new weapons/domains of warfare that the zealots proclaim make all other forms of warfare obsolete. Yet every time, they are proven wrong...

If you discount the hundreds of thousands of soldiers also in the fight, sure... Drones will do it all.

Is intent to issue the GS C-25 to vehicle crews, or are they getting the FS C-26?

Maybe the Houthi are about to learn the classic phrase: "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." Given the state of the world right now, I'm guessing a few atrocities in Houthi controlled Yemen won't result in an real outside pressure on Saudi Arabia... So the people of Yemen are likely about to...

So a white victim would have had more protection from the system, but because the victim's abuser is indigenous the victim has to face their abuser in the community sooner. Seems like a smart system that will definitely help stop the cycle of absue and trauma that creates the high rates of...

100% As stupid as it is that CBC couldn't manage to find a way to keep HNC, it has nothing to do with Trudeau.

It's also a path forward. Saying "I want to get in shape", and starting to hit the gym doesn't mean you can run a marathon the week after you start. We don't have Canadian suppliers for things right now. If we plan to buy Canadian, even if it means spending a bit more, Canadian suppliers...

That doesn't work anymore... The media and opposition would call surplus capacity government waste, and the government that decided to buy a surplus would be voted out. The media and government have trained votera to think in year to year, maybe election to election, and not to consider the...

That applies to the Reserves, there is no prohibition on Regular(or class C) members wearing their uniforms appropriately outside of duty, apart from wearing it to court. People often choose to not wear their uniforms in public because it draws attention, and occasionally negative attention.

Alternatively, a great lesson in why we likely should have gone for the Korean option. Unless the RCAF, and RCA actually plan to do fly-in launches from airfields in the arctic.

I think you'd be disappointed. My father was a fisherman, I hung out with the sons of fishermen, and spoke with lots of fishermen as I grew-up, and when I returned on leave from the RCAF. They know they call the CCG on the radio when they are in distress, and someone CCG or CCG Auxiliary comes...

The GoC is being careful, because unlike posters on this site they have to be careful about what they say. The Gripen passed the mandatory requirements, but was beat by the F-35. People on here can bash it, and make ridiculous statements to support their argument, but if the GoC/CAF do, they...

It wasn't the clearest, but it wasn't super complex to navigate either. You had to actually read the descriptions though, and ensure you chose the correct one. It was all based on the FRT number for the rifle, so for something like the XCR-L there were a lot of potential options based on the...

I just found out they aren't being issued until next week in Esquimalt.

Canadians don't love when politicians call early elections. Ford got away with it because he was still relatively popular, and the opposition was a complete gong show. Eby isn't popular, and with the unpopular Conservative leader gone, they suddenly became more appealing. I'd love to see the...

It could equally be an overzealous office that will be corrected by Washington. If it's how Washington has directed their people to act, this could get really petty real fast.

I've heard of foolishness like this before out in Halifax, not too surprising. Some Met Techs in Halifax were told they couldn't get the black goretex rain jackets for use with NCDs, because they had the CADPAT ones. I had one issued without problem in Victoria. Might swing by Esquimalt...

All of the branches/elements were told to draw up plans for an increase in CAF numbers. I was involved in a small part of it during my time in C Navy. So your characterization of the RCN as doing something unauthorized is just plain wrong. I know people involved in parts of the RCAF planning...
