    3 RCR transfers to the Light Infantry Regiment

    Why? Co-location is a great thing. Instead of having 3 disparate units across the country, instead have one formation that trains as such. I'm not sure? That's why I ask. I mean, in terms of mobility and projecting combat power, a light unit can only do so many things; yet can do much that...

    3 RCR transfers to the Light Infantry Regiment

    If I were in charge, I would have made a Light Infantry "Regiment" and would have just called it "Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry". I would have made it a brigade instead, and would have given it an Arty Regiment, an Engineer Regiment, and a Cavalry (light recce?) Regiment. The...

    "Fitness - It could Save your life" poster

    I remember those posters. Definitely around 1989 or so when they came out. I recall that there was a series of them. One of them was a guy out for a run on his own time. And I do remember the one you describe. If I remember correctly, they were aimed at reservists to encourage embracing...

    TKMS Type 212CD (Victoria class replacement megathread)

    They better be. My cousin is XO of a Sub and has been part of the trial with the (South) Koreans. I mean, I don't think they could crew a new sub with only women; she'll need some men on board.

    I will miss my friend dearly. He was clever, witty and best of all a decent man. Rest in Peace.

    Compassionate Leave Planning

    When my mother died, it was a phone call. My boss told me to just go and he would ensure all would be handled. When my mother failed to die in a timely fashion, I emailed my boss to explain things. His advice to me? "Breathe". When all was said and done, I was off for 3 weeks. In short...

    Compassionate Leave Planning

    The first thing I would do is just talk with your superior and explain what's going on. From personal experience, the CoC is usually quite understanding in such situations. And as far as I recall, compassionate does not run out. Example (from my own experiences with one of my...
