    VAdm Norman - Supply Ship contract: Legal fight

    A good compromise: If you want it, you can buy it. I know I would. I'd also prefer to simply pay to have my DEU Tunic made by a master tailor rather than (in accordance with an authorized pattern) rather than to have to wear the shiny plastic fabric that Logistik unicorp foists upon us.

    VAdm Norman - Supply Ship contract: Legal fight

    So, in a recent interview by VAdm, he was wearing a old school greatcoat complete with shoulder boards and golden buttons. Is there some secret Ottawa greatcoat revival project or is this VAdm Norman just deciding to say f*ck it and wearing something more stylish than the current bathrobe of a...

    The US Presidency 2018

    Come on dude. It's impossible to read through major politics thread without seeing a dozen of your contributions in which you essentialy say the same thing  over and over again. We get it:Trump bad, Trudeau good. Liberals smart, Tories dumb. Frankly, you're exhausting me and I believe this is...

    ;D Well I do believe I see some serious potential in you sir. The bite is real and so piquant too. Have you considered writing for a satirical? Perhaps try your hand at novelettes?

    Anyone here write short stories?

    Been trying my hand at it for a while for what it's worth. I got nothing published but I have picked useful tidbits from my own ongoing work and from meeting authors here and there.

    14 July 2016: +80 dead in truck attack in southern France

    On who's authority? Sunni Islam does not possess a clergy in the traditional sense that can make such claims. For every Imam you find willing to make such a declaration, dozens in the middle east will declare him a martyr. Anyways, it's not like you can deny his family the rites of burial.

    TOW is Back

    No intent to derail but is the Sam Browne comment a rumour or I'd there a source for actual reintroduction of the belt? On subject:I look forward to siting a defensive position that doesn't have to wait till enemy MBTS are within bayonet range before engaging armor.

    Pan-Islamic merged mega thread

    In essence, you are suggesting that these cultures adopt western liberalism. Democracy might be acultural but liberal democracy is a beast of the west, ill suited for the Middle East and it's overwhelmingly conservative population. I believe that is the wrong way to go about it especially since...

    CAF uniforms don't have sizes for fit guys

    Last year, I bought myself shirt stays and I never looked back. It does the job decently and eliminated the muffin top look. Only problem is that It makes anyone look like they're wearing a Moulin Rouge get-up whenever the trousers come off.

    Former Finance Minister Jim Flaherty RIP 10 April 2014

    Regardless of what I think about Thomas Mulcair, I was deeply touched with his reaction to Minister Flaherty's death, he looked extremely affected. RIP Mr Flaherty,

    Québec Election: 7 Apr 14

    :goodpost: On another note, I found the CAQ's performance quite interesting. When the ADQ became the official opposition, they were then swept off the field by a resurgent PQ and that was the death of the party and, witht his, the hope that a serious center right party was a viable option in...

    I thought we turfed the army summer dress a few years ago? Is that a recent thing or have liaison officer continued to wear this order of dress ever since?

    Québec Election: 7 Apr 14

    Well if Obama's words yesterday are to be trusted, immediate UDI's after referendum or due to a parliamentary decree are no longer kosher in the today's world. Regardless of the economic implications, wouldn't the government be compelled to intervene militarily in Qc if the National Assembly...

    Québec Election: 7 Apr 14

    I remain convinced that even in the best case scenario, both Canada and the hypothetical new republic would end up worse off. I believe that a huge problem will be the new state's treatment of minorities. There's always been a strong xenophobic undercurrent in Quebec but it was kept in check...

    Québec Election: 7 Apr 14

    Why is no one mentioning the possibility of seeing the maritime become exclaves? Why is no one mentioning the problems will arise when the overwhelmingly federalist natives reclaim their territory? Why is no one mentioning the disputes on who controls the seaway. And what about Montreal or the...

    The need for tactical highly visible rank (From:Re-Royalization)

    To be fair, this summer, our Aussie coy commander had black pips on his cmbts and I couldn't see them past 15 meters. The fact that I was usually prone and struggling to not fall asleep might have had something to do with it though.

    Shots fired at CFB Kingston

    I knew Pat, he was a good guy and a pleasure to work with. He had a one hell of a sense of humor and he always had movie references to crank out in every situation, often obscure but always hilarious. I'll miss him a lot. RIP Pat.

    4th Year RMC cadet here. Don't expect much in terms of Etiquette training. As stated above, you'll get most of your behavior cues during summer training. My advise: Be polite, be humble, be fair, be honest and be respectful If you're talking about Etiquette in the table manners sense then the...
