Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

I'll believe it when I see it.

'Merican plan, up or out. Hmmmm

Might not even need to be something like that, especially if focused on the Army, with an acknowledged, planned-for trio of options at the end of the "be young, go hard, RIP your knees and spine" contract: select into a longer-term career path in the trade, remuster/CFR/otherwise radically change your CAF role, or (perhaps with some minor incentives) leave Regular service, either to civvy street or the Reserves.

Would need to make sure that the various post-contract options are all painless.

I think what need is to have 75% of our enrollees do short contracts, meaning 1 engagement, and be very selective about who we offer a career too.

I also think if you want to shrink the full time force that's going to have to come from the Army as the RCN and RCAF are too technical and operational to rely on part timers for full time commitment.

3 - 5 years. If they stay after that then great.

Without statements to 'do stuff' by all parties, how else would you run an election campaign? 'Vote for us - we're really nice?'

They do have a basic statment talking about Northern Canadian Defence.

How do we get these conversations where the solution to all CAF problems encompasses both increased retention and accelerated attrition?

It wouldn't be Army.ca if we didn't circle argue our own points lol. C'mon man!
