    Back to Bagram??!!!

    We'll be too busy peacekeeping against Hamas and Israel in Palestine anyways.

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    Give you the kit and a plan? So, hand hold you? The kit isn't coming for years and the sustainment and training plan should be coming from the PRes if they want it.

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    Are those countries 5500km wide? Geography is important, putting a PRes tank squadron in downtown Toronto or Oshawa or Montreal doesn't make a lick of sense unless we order reservists to train during the summers and have training centers of vehicles for them to train on. Simulators only go so...

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    Light infantry yes, LAV-based infantry no. PRes, despite its bleating, will never have a reliable source of mobilization for current RegF tasks for mechanized or armour. They'd spend an entire year running just LAV Gunner on weekends, and half that time would be transiting to ranges. Even PRes...

    Back to Bagram??!!!

    Hi. This isn't the Trump Admin thread. If we can't stay on topic I'll just lock it up. Thanks. - Milnet.ca Staff

    Leave - mbr has none left

    If theyve been allowed to burn all their annual thats a leadership failure. Christmas leave minimums should have been protected. If the member looks like they're abusing call in days, order them to the CDU, no more phone ins.

    No updates ever since getting selected for the Reserve Army.

    They've been parading for a month. Call the unit, especially on a Wednesday night.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    To hire an actual police force to police the CAF? I think the value proposition is there. How many botched major investigations do we have to have before we realize CFPM is deeply broken or completely beyond repair?

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    This is a more concerning program than TFW. Institutions should be responsible for reporting attendance to CBSA, and those same institutions with an attendance gap above Canadian average should have their international student privilege revoked. Any evidence of fraud and we hammer all leadership...

    How Much Does Your Ruck Weigh in SigOp

    Our preferred unit of measure is Magic card decks or Anime DVDs, but those are our words and it'd be cultural appropriation to use them.

    How Much Does Your Ruck Weigh in SigOp

    You're pretty on point, Harris. We carry rucksacks for PT and for various army combat fitness tests. It's not typical of a SigOp to act as a "Platoon or Company Signaler" which would involve following an infantry sub unit and carrying radios on top of normal survival gear and ammo/food. If you...

    Compassionate Leave Planning

    IIRC you get to travel twice for compassionate reasons when its for a serious illness/death. Once for the medical condition and a 2nd time for the funeral. Thats for the compassionate LTA. The leave is essentially whatever the CO wants to hand out up to their max. I've also never needed a memo...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    If yours isn't, try not skipping the upgrade prompt. It was supposed to be forced months ago.

    Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

    We can reduce the bloat in the NCR and still require 5 days a week in the office. Many of the institutions in Ottawa don't need to be there but the black hole has a powerful gravity.

    Reserve question: VR before finishing school?

    Ask for ED&T. It will prevent you from being NES but you still remain part of your unit. Once you finish school you can go right back to parading or start FTSE.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Hopefully those youth remember who drove up inflation by printing money over the last decade and counting when it comes time for them to vote for the first time. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't Stephen Harper.

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    Probably because their plan is secret.

    Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

    We'll look great beside them when we field the same rifle in 2035.

    5 Canadian soldiers suspended after Nazi salute video emerges

    Its a reasonable question to ask and I'd fully expect it if the last 2 incidents occurred with 1 Bde soldiers in front of a PPCLI flag or in 2 Bde in front of a RCR flag.

    5 Canadian soldiers suspended after Nazi salute video emerges

    Thats how you actually counter racism. Deplatforming makes them seem like martyrs, while being ratioed will prevent someone on the fence from agreeing.
