I am presuming that you are a civilian. I would suggest that you contact the Royal Canadian Logistics Service (RCLS) Association Branch nearest you. Perhaps they can get you in contact with the RCLS Historian. Or you may try to contact the Canadian Forces Logistics Museum. Please note that...

The Public Services and Procurement Canada website for the Future Fighter Capability Project has now been updated to reflect that the GOC has entered the final phase of the procurement process with the US Gov't and Lockheed Martin. The earliest delivery date is 2025. I wonder when we might...

ADM(MAT) only buys equipment for the Environments but it doesn't decide the requirements. The user (RCN/CA/RCAF/Joint decides on what it needs and when. Besided on the information given by the user and in consulation with the user, ADM(MAT) decides and implements the procurement strategy. As...

The Log Br went RCLS just when I was on the way out. I still think in terms of the Br and not RCLS. Cheers

When I was much younger and naive I thought how wonderful it would be if the Log Br would split up and come under the respective environments (Services) again. Many, many years later and in talking with my fellow Loggies from all environments, we agree, the Br ain't perfect but it works...

I was being facetious, but .... I am left handed and the world has been against me. The FNC1 ejected empty cartridges on the right which meant I suffered from having the occasional hot casing in my face. The CAF only buy scissors for right handed people. I hope that the new black hat is...

Actually the BN will need to at least incl the fol: historical background of the RCN wearing the black hat - prove tradition. when you should wear this? Winter only? On ship only? how the morale of RCN will dramatically improve and will attract % more recruits to the RCN - to justify the...

In the last election, O'Toole published a platform that I thought was reasonable, well presented and sustainable. Unfortunately he shot himself in the foot by changing positions during the campaign and the message became muddled and confusing.

I'm not a political scientist and to be honest I don't earnestly follow the minutiae details of Cdn politics. From what little that I know or think that I understand, I do have the following questions: How/when to did the CPC moved further to the right of the political spectrum? Are they out of...

There is a reliable source (sarcasm / humour), a renown British psychic who made many predictions about Canada for 2022. Some major highlights : PM Trudeau will face a serious scandal regarding Chinese influence / money in the 2021 election. Received kick backs. 2:33 Doug Ford will rise in...

I recently retired from the CAF with over 35 years. Unfortunately for me, I can relate to these stories. We can agree that : only a mental health professional can accurately diagnosis what this phantom honking is and whether people are suffering from a mental injury. As a corollary...

MH can be directly linked to a physical injury - total agree. As for PTSD diagnosis I leave that to mental health professionals. Someone can say that they suffer from PTSD but in reality it maybe something else. When I came back, I was warned by a good friend of mine, a nurse, not to...

I am not an expert in Mental Health. I don't think that you can compare mental health treatment the same as a physical injury treatment. While on a bridging exercise years ago, I broke two fingers on my right hand and it was extremely painful, but it healed and it doesn't bother me anymore...

Mental health issues is a serious problem. Given all the training that we (CAF, Police, Emergency Services) have received regarding mental health, suicide prevention, sexual harassment, I find it somewhat disheartening to see some people trivialize mental health symptoms, however to the people...

A friend of mine, who is a CPC member, told me that he has been receiving quite a number of urgent communications from CPC HQ asking for a financial contribution. Apparently the Party can't hold a leadership convention and be prepared to fight a possible election due to a minority government...

More on the probable next leader of the CPC, Mr. Pierre Poilievre. Geoff Russ: The Conservatives don't need a progressive as party leader In brief, he presents himself as a Fiscal conservative and not a social conservative.

I was being facetious about Liberals or NDPs not serving in the CAF, but you are right in pointing out that this broad brush statement is incorrect. LGen Leslie and LCol McCrimmon are two of the most prominent recent former CAF mbrs, that I know of, who later became elected Liberal Mbrs of...

ACK your comments. From what I've read he flew his helicopter to act as a decoy for any potential exocet missile attack. I can't add any more to this and perhaps my comment about bravery under fire is incorrect. The correct wording should have been while under combat operations. I agree that...

I've had enough of this protest. This has pushed me to my limits of tolerance. I'm going to buy a lottery ticket and win!

ACK. I understand. I have a science and engineering background.
