How will this solve the problem? Borden has some new buildings but for the most part their buildings are falling apart as well. The problem occurred in the 90s when there was $0 for funding capital projects and closing bases. Now we have buildings that are falling apart, ill adept at servicing the soldiers, etc. Moving to Borden will not solve anything as a new building would have to be built on a camp that is mainly for support trades. Meafort would be a more logical choice if it had to move but my question is why? It would take years for the transition and we are already hurting for people in the Sig Op Trade. As for never ever going to get better, it takes about 10 years to get a capital project the scope and size of what you are talking off the ground. A new mess, shacks for the students and a few new buildings are being planned and should be approved in the next year (they have been working on it at the school since my QL5s in 98 at least.) They have one new building in the school already and hopefully it will have the rest completed within the next 5 years.
Trenton new building time for barracks...design to completion 3.5 yrs
Borden new officers mansion...design to completion 3 years
226,227,215...guess what...like it or not...support trades...surprise, we aint infantry
Do you remember the Jr ranks mess on the Mc Naughton side...torn down
Do you remember what was across from the mess on Vimy...torn down
Do you remember our gym...converted to a school for snr nco's and officers
B2 is nice...condemned...to be torn down
B1 is crap...they dont want to look at it cause the same contractor built it and...it will be torn down
Kingston has always hated the school and treated it like a fiscal welfare haven
Borden was designed for training, Trenton has their poo together.
Meaford...never heard of it, never been there. What about Masset?
Kingston facilities were awesome once but the neglect is heart wrenching.
Sig Ops have always been hurting because they treat their people like poo.
I'd go to Battle School before I'd let some bitter sig op try to mold me into a backstabber
