Your not getting the point. Personally as a private, corporal and master corporal, I hated parade square drill and parades. Like if I could magically die and resurrect myself after the parades were over, I would. But a few things struck me. On the 45th anniversary of the Battle of Kapyong for...

Normally I agree with about 90-95% of what you post. Not sure where you stand on this issue. May I ask some questions 1. In your opinion, Does drill (including arms drill) belong universally in recruit training? 2. As above, do you feel drill should be taught above to recruits? 3. If drill...

@btrudy So the answer to my other questions remains unanswered. Can I assume you have never instructed recruits? Point noted.

When tradition and honouring the military past has zero negative impact on current operational capability, than do it. Does trooping infantry colours do a damn useful current thing for an infantry battalion? Nope. However it maintains a strong link to the past and history of the...

Absolutely not one good reason have I seen from you for stopping drill. Not one. How many recruit courses have you instructed on? Myself, 1 reg f and 4 reserve BMQ. Enlighten us, all knowing one.

Keep the damn sling. You gotta be a moron to not see its use.

So why should we eliminate drill in basic? I still haven't seen a valid reason for doing so. Is bed making that important? Is boot polishing really a part of your job? Is forced marches necessary if your going to spend your career on ships? Why bother teaching history of the CAF if people might...

This was an interesting watch. The beastings back then reminded me of some how we did stuff in the CAF

I think Alberta will do very well with DS and the UCP. Rachel Notley, take a hint, you lost twice, resign and go away

Remotely posting someone across the province (If provincial police) is far cry different from posting across the nation (Mounties)

You might be surprised at the nasty shit that goes on in remote rural communities, anywhere in Canada

Definitely worth a watch. The co-founder of Green Peace with a message that may surprise you

Co-founder of Green Peace with a very interesting message. Not what you think

Whoa, whoa, he didn't spend 9 years in evil medical school to be called Mr Evil, just give the villain the credit he deserves. Besides, he could run this country better than anyone.

OICs are a tool to be used very sparingly and with extreme caution... The intended or unintended consequences can be quite drastic

What I am getting at is I think governments have this as a "political weapon". They can make an OIC that really doesn't pass the smell test with most Canadians but get away with it because they can wear any challengers down in court (defeat via legal battles, which is dirty)

@brihard "All regulations/OICs are absolutely able to be challenged in court. Due process does still exist." And that gets very costly. The government has all the money in the world, most of everyone else has limited if any funds to pursue it in court
