CAF Security Forces [Split from RCN Anti Drone Weapon]

[Quirky]

Mind you if you add spiffy uniforms with white laces and ascots, who wouldn't want to be one.....

Is that the new/old Canadian Regiment for Airfield Policing?

 

[Edward Campbell]

They can, and could change the vast majority of problems facing the CAF today; from procurement, to housing, to pay and allowances, to SLT and any number of things that piss us all off.

The issue: political will and desire to expend political capital on the CAF's betterment.

I don't count many governments in Canadian history, of any political stripe, that are willing to spend those votes on lil ol' CAF.

Policy is a great strawman that no one argues with.

We did, once. it began with a public and fairly well publicized policy statement in 1947 by the then Minister of External Affairs (foreign minister) and continued when he became prime minister. It was fiddled with - on anti-American and anti-nuclear grounds - but broadly supported by his Progressive Conservative successor. It was overturned circa 1970 by a new and radical Liberal regime.

BTW, in the 1950s and into the '60s we spent 4% of GDP on defence.

No, the Airfield Security Service. Similar in a few ways.

And yes I know what you just did.

It’s fun to point and laugh at uniform fails, but never underestimate the allure of spiffy uniforms in attracting new recruits wanting to attract the opposite sex…

Yup, nothing gets you laid like being an MP.

What? I thought those are the guys who patrol NATOs eastern flank in fighter jets.

Well I wasn’t talking about the ones Colin posted…those are birth control outfits if I ever seen any!

Because our policy says so. We have 71,500 positions. No one in the CAF has the authority to grow beyond that without policy coverage.

FWIW - it’s hidden in the DPU. 1 CAD Cmdr stated an increase has been authorized - but only after empty PYs are filled.

I prefer these uniforms:

Can PYs be taken from trades or units with historical inabilities to fill positions and given to other units, i.e Air Operations Support, that could use them?

In theory, invest / divest decisions are informed by what the CAF requires. Challenges in recruiting and training then require CMP to come up with approaches to mitigate and address, and then CFRG and training institutions to implement.
