    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    I think you gotta play the language/population game a bit. It blows having to be shoe horned into it but due to the weak representation in the Navy and less so the RCAF you army needs to carry the difference of having units and bases in which Francophones can serve. Arguably you also need to...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    I think like the CP-140 we will likely end up with the refit complete and F-35s start coming in at the same time.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    The material and colour are pretty annoying as I'd like to be able to find a better quality shirt with the same colour for those one or two times a year but its impossible.

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I believe the NATO requirement is along the lines of those police being a federal institution and trained/armed so to conduct section level operations. But even then the Gendarmie and Carbinari are very different organizations that include fully formed military units.

    Shortest full-time training commitment for P-Res

    11 weekends usually running Oct to Feb or Jan to Apr. Full time BMQ with the reserves is 5 weeks but thats just me being pedantic.

    Shortest full-time training commitment for P-Res

This includes mobilization and collapsing of support/training commands into...

    Tartan Trews in 2023

    No unfortunately I live out West. I heard that there might be a tailor or two in Vancouver, BC who can do them and I do make my way out there usually once or twice a year.
