FYI - Ruxted Group's editorial on the "Canada First" Defence Strategy and the required funding associated with it features prominently in this CTV Politics Blog story: http://politicsblog.ctv.ca/blog/_archives/2007/10/2/3264913.html Curious to hear how Cabinet responses to the potential price...

Certainly a worthy question to ask. Luckily the Federal Gov't seems to be listening. I'm leaving in about 1/2 hour to go to a meeting here in Winnipeg between Reservists and the Federal Minister for Labour on this issue. We'll see how it goes....

Frankly, I think that is pushing it. I don't think it is worth burning bridges with your employer for a weekend ex. See what other options you have. There are other aspects in play here - who do you work for, how many employees, nature of the work, can anyone else do your job, is it shift work...

I wouldn't "demand" time off - pissing off your employer is never a good move from a long term perspective. Try working with your employer - there may be other means of achieving this (unpaid time off, etc). My employer, a municipal gov't, gives me two weeks furlough leave per year for reserve...

Minto Armouries in Winnipeg has a "Garrison SSO" with the rank of Major who is responsible for the running of the Armouries, full time Garrison Orderly Room, etc. The position is Class B, and Minto is home to six units, plus the Winnipeg Trg Det. Units run their own lines, etc. How well it works...

Rest in Peace Soldier :salute: My thoughts are with the family and the soldier's coworkers. A difficult situation to deal with.

Here's an editorial cartoon from today's Winnipeg Free Press that sums up Jack nicely: http://www.winnipegsun.com/Comment/Cartoon/2007/07/06/4317104.html

Update: Soldier is doing well, and is recovering at the Brandon Hospital. Will be moved back to Winnipeg when medical conditions permit. Big kudos to 2VP on this. Family has been very well supported.

A burn shine might work. I rather go with the new shoes if you have the points.

+1 on this. I've had two supervisors make a radical change in their support of time off for training requests etc after getting them on an Executrek trip. They now ask me when I need time off for training, as opposed to having to beg / borrow / steal for it. They have also seen how the training...

Good afternoon all, Not sure if "Army Admin" is the right sub-forum for this, so mods please feel free to move this. I am trying to find out the mailing address for pers at PRT Nathan Smith to mail a suprise package for a buddy of mine who is currently there. I have tried the search function...

'Pegger here. The houses in which the 3 VC winners lived are actually about 250' apart. Two are actually across the street from each other. Forget the same street, they are on the same block!

Really? Our Padre was in the training rotation from the beginning, so maybe something else occurred, so someone else shifted spots. My understanding (from the Padre net) is that the Padre rotations are being controlled nationally from the 'Padre net on high' at NDHQ. Our guy was told this...

Signed.

735 Comms here in the Peg has sent a few, as well as the RWR Our Padre is over there right now at Nathan Smith. One member of the Regt just came back, and we're looking at 20-25 for TF 01-08.

When's your guy's first parade on the Hill? I'm in town from June 26-28th, and I thought I would take a trip down memory lane and view a parade. I seem to remember from my two summers on the Hill that the parades start the week before Canada Day. EDIT - Further to my last, who are the NCOs &...

Can't say for today, I went through in the mid 1990's. We started Phase II with around 120, and ended Phase III the next summer with around fifty to sixty.  Then again, the word's "Gagetown" and "Phase" don't seem to make people involuntarily shudder like they used too....

Add me in please. PM with info is inbound.

The Germans used to train year round at CFB Shilo, MB, similar to what the Brits due in Alberta. The Germans pulled out around 2000 - 2001 if I remember right. You are right in regards to the cross-training you can get from other country's troops. We had a US National Guard Combined Arms...
