The Grande Prairie cabin idiocy has finally been sorted out: http://www.dailyheraldtribune.com/2013/10/30/duo-charged-in-cabin-takeover-given-time-to-find-a-lawyer

Ocean acidification is a wee bit harder to deny than 'global warming'. http://apps.seattletimes.com/reports/sea-change/2013/sep/11/pacific-ocean-perilous-turn-overview/

I'm not doubting the original statement outright, I was surprised to read that bio-fuel was the lead cause. Food supply/prices aren't a simple, monolithic thing, and what the American's are doing within their own borders can't necessarily be linked to famine elsewhere because of the global...

Is there a credible source for this assertion? Obviously armed conflict and weather are dominant forces behind famine as well.

Its getting a bit "Tom Clancy" in here.

I did Nanook last year. I brought my PT gear and ran up and down the road by the airfield. Just ask and they'll tell you how far you can go. I would not recommend straying off the road at all, and I'd suggest trail running shoes. The wind might not cooperate with you either.

I assume PATs count towards the 99% manning level...

Canadian soldier, or soldier from Canada?

Is it Swiss?

Sig Ops come and go. It would make more sense to send an infantryman on an infantry recce course, because he will remain an infantryman, whereas that Sig Op could find themselves posted to CFJSR or a Svc Bn or what not. Personally I think its a great idea to send Signalers on courses like that...

I gotta mostly agree with wonderbread, but both sides make valid arguments. Each Sig Op beyond what is technically necessary could deny a slot for one of its tradesman, so there is a reason right there to want to employ a double hatted Pte/Cpl. I know from personal experience that it takes a...

You'll do BMQ-L (what used to be called SQ), and getting on the QL3 part I is a sure thing. During the QL3 part I you will submit your security clearance paperwork and then the waiting game for part II begins. Things get a bit depressing at that point as you will be in the CFSCE PAT Pl. Things...

...at least we're not sig ops any more!

I'm working on it, its not my call though, and yes, PAT is a nightmare. I wish the Commandant knew about it...

For clarification, who is the authority for administering a CT from Res to Reg? I am still fighting to get a few things sorted out, and I keep getting told to "take it up with the CFRC" which makes little or no sense...

On the surface it makes sense, but its strange considering I instructed a Sig Op QL3 course after I ceased to be a Sig Op!

There is another batch of students in the hopper shopping for EWAT jobs now, would anyone care to share any advice, tips, or experiences of EWAT between part 1 and 2? Personally I am looking for a position at a Res Comm unit, as I used to be a Sig Op, I also have PLQ and a tour. I would gladly...

I was made to remove my QL5 Sig Op badge, I am at CFSCE...

I'm on the BTL, so I figure if the ASU/ASG won't do it, its now up to me...

Necropost here. This may very well warrant an independent topic in its own right. I asked at my local ASU about bringing in my sleeping bags to be dry cleaned and they said "We don't do that, that's why you have a liner" and "Dry cleaning is at your own expense" Now, from my previous...
