    "Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group"

    I’m not sure knowing the reason even matters. It’s not like old social media posts coming back to haunt people in the public sphere is a new thing. Neither is hiring managers wanting candidates to provide SM profile info so it can be reviewed as part of the hiring process - to ensure a “good...

    "Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group"

    I curated my own FB page several times as I grew older, matured, assumed leadership positions of greater responsibility and saw the world changing around me. I suppose I would argue that the fact that some of these posts have remained visible for years means that the members see nothing wrong...

    Starship Troopers/Is China REALLY So Bad? ;) (split from '25 Federal Election thread)

    l guess it would look like the CAF in a lot of way? An organization that everyone who ever served in willingly and freely joined, that some have devoted their entire adult lives serving, and that some still think is a good thing, at least some of the time?

    Internal Military Report Blames Botched Shooter Drill On Poor Organization

    I suspect the day-to-day culture, in terms of a baseline starting point is probably relevant. The US base I am currently stationed at, and the ones I have been previously stationed at, all had and have well established cultures of preparation and a reasonably informed workforce. I pass...

    U.S. Annexing Canada (split fm Liberal Minority thread)

    Which was, word for word, the PM’s statement on CNN last night. This is probably the right message.

    Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

    Nah. She has the long view. She may not be intelligent but she is smart. I spent 5 years in CFD - 3 of them working in the Future Force Directorate. I Didn’t GAF about anything that was happening in Horizon 1 or even H2 for that matter. Anything that CJOC was doing today, and tomorrow...

    HMNZS Manawanui has Sunk!

    In '98 I did an MCDV coastal transfer mostly in autopilot, including course changes. Fed from the tracks laid into the old Kelvin-Hughes Nucleus 3 6000A console, right to the helmsman console. Was a single button at the helmsman station to disengage if needed. Worked great.

    Sikh & India (Alleged) Shenanigans in Canada (split fm Non-Muslim terr thread)

    Is I get where your head is at, but Is being able to pass the security checks required for a clearance even a requirement to be leader of any of the political parties? I don’t think it is and don’t see how that could even be incorporated into the process of choosing leaders of parties.

    Rise and Fall of the NDP - 2015 - ????

    Of course not. He was verbally accosted like…24 hrs before? If it had been me, I would have lost my temper and likely committed an act of physical violence, most likely in the form of a throat punch. That would have, of course, landed me in jail awaiting charges of assault. My future...

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    Supporting allies and partners is key. There doesn’t have to be anything “special” about the platform itself as the poster above you states - that’s short-sighted and a very tactical-level perspective. Supporting allies is an Operational-level obligation we hav, to achieve global Strat-level...

    Current Dress Regs

    But in all seriousness, getting it on the agenda of the dress committee is the first step in having a proper discussion about it and, imo, getting it changed

    Current Dress Regs

    Awesome news. I hope they quickly decide to amend the regs to permit it. Tired of seeing people's ugly-ass chest hairs.

    Current Dress Regs

    I decided a long fucking time ago that I wasn't going to take criticism about my dress from people who wore wax moustaches and told me that a blue blazer and grey flannels were what I was required to wear to get a drink in my mess. It has not been their 19th/early 20th century military for a...

    Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

    Admittedly, you wouldn't think so but damn if this government hasn't proven to be shockingly, almost inexplicably, resilient and indeed immune to scandals that should have already taken them out (and would have taken out many other sitting governments.) JWR, WE, blackface, Kokanee grope... - any...

    Redress of Grievance

    It's only 3 months. Perhaps you are confusing this with the 4 months that are afforded to the IA and then the FA to render a decision? In which case, you are indeed grieving a specific person, or entity...In your example, you are grieving how your CoC (a specific person in your CoC, actually)...
