It is nice to see that others see and loath what I see!(Dress and Deoportment) We are suppose to be one Force (CF) and should have the same standards....but we do not! Now the Air Force wants to develop its own fitness standards! If we are all working to a common goal, why all the little...

Forlorn hope is a military term that comes from the Dutch verloren hoop, which should be translated as "lost troop".The Dutch word hoop (in its sense of troop in English). In the days of muzzle-loading muskets it was most frequently used to refer to the first wave of soldiers attacking a breach...

Your right ......I might be getting converted..I think that is the first time using it...yikes ;D..it took two yrs.....but I think I will stick with "supervisor" as I have not come across anyone in the Air Force I would consider my "superior" as far as leadership goes...yet...I am hopfull!

I am an ex-grunt who is now Air Force and I miss the Army everyday!!!!  :crybaby: Since it was a medical remuster, I do not think I will go back to the mother ship!! The Air Force has different  R & Os with respect to the way it does things, having said that it shouldn't! We are suppose to be...

It is great to hear this stories, as I remember a time when we were told not to wear our uniform outside of working hours.....we were told not even to stop for gas in uniform..it didn't give you much pride! These gestures of gratitude are all so found out here in Alberta. I don't pay for many...
