Hi I was just wondering if anyone actually knows if high ranking officials in the CF read and post on this form. it would be pretty cool to think that some of our ideas were actually implemented into the CF itself

Depends on your definition of "high-ranking officials".

It's a well-known fact that a certain Brigadier-General used to visit here, and sometimes lightning bolts would descend from on high ...

That is most interesting!

The Governor General even graced us with her presence one time to take the mickey out of some blow hard that was shooting off his mouth. Wish I could find it, but I think it's been archived.

Had to do with the amount of pushups vice the number on your capbadge ie: 48th Highlanders, 8CH etc. Perhaps Dav Langstroth could fill us in. Would be a quiet diversion to the regular discussions.
Hope this helps. Willie!

Not sure if I would be comfortable with that....

But posting by the CDS would be welcomed.

Use your brain for something other then keeping your ears apart.
