    Huah. Served 40 years in the Infantry on a 37 year warranty. Just kidding. It will be an awesome adventure!

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Industry and the CAF are like Chickens and Pigs for breakfast. The chicken is involved. The pig is committed. We be the pig. Just sayin'

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I may be an old broken retired dude who is out of the loop but I am pretty sure we are not giving the Canadian people (our real Boss) $31B worth of National Defence...

    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    Ma femme, qui s'appelle Lisette Madeline, without context provided a true translation, as I also understand it from growing up in Mtl: dull or boring. Not challenging or even tedious. Dull or boring.

    Military Judges Compensation Committee

    Uhuh. Lawyers be lawyering. Whatabout a soldiers impartiality? Is that just a given? You know....that whole unlimited liability thing. Any Mil Judges subject to that? Maybe soldiers should be protected by " 1) security of tenure; 2) financial security (i.e. pay and benefits must be...

    Stop redistributing income as a virtue statement and get the fuck out of my life.

    Military Judges Compensation Committee

    Hmm. Those four judges made submissions on their own behalf.....presumably the time spent on that work was not "judgy stuff". It would be interesting to see the results if soldiers could also make submissions on their own behalf in response to the governments' position, and then have it...

    Base closures?

    I challenge the premise. We do not have to close a base to return 1.5B. We return at lest that much unspent every year. Moreover closing a Base involves the making of a decision, so the Government will avoid that like the plague. The last thing the want is to announce a though out plan, when...

    What can a CO make you pay for

    They asked that I not wear the Canadian (Military) Mess Dress that I had already purchased as a Subbie and wear a "proper " Black Tie like a real genteleman...so I had to buy a Tux

    What can a CO make you pay for

    If I was doing it all over again..... As an exchange Officer in a British unit, my mess bill was 150 GBP every month, before I attended a function or signed a chit. For the privilege of being an officer. They also insisted that mess dress was for County Regiments. So I bought a more classic...

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    Except we say there is enormous political power with the honouraries. They are actually an impressive group of (on the whole, and with a dose of charity) people with surprisingly little national or even regional political leverage...especially in a country where neither the voters nor the...

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    I find this discussion...tiring, repetitive, tiresome, futile...and delusional. I served as a Company Commander in one of the most famous Regiments in the British Empire. The Royal Green Jackets. Born from the the 60th. The Original Chosen men. They no longer exist, because that...

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I bet they get creative... Easy way to get closer to 2% would be to transfer CCG to CAF.....

    Canada doesn’t matter to the rest of the world - and it’s our own fault

    We are beyond ludicrous at this point. The Liberals have no idea just how ridiculous they sound...and are.

    How restrictive is the DEO plan? Questions from a prospective Engineering Officer

    Odd title. Your post talks about your past, and why you might be a good fit...and I think you might be. You sound like me and I did okay. At no point do you address the question implied in the title of the thread...which is, unless I am misreading "restrictive", how irrevocable it is. Life...

    CDS General Eyre announces retirement

    Sorry what? Near as I can tell from your posting history you are an LEO who may be CAF adjacent, or the other way around. Do you have much experience with high level responsibility and authority? Or met anyone who has? On what do you base that assessment? That all people are motivated...
