    Updated Army Service Dress project

    Meh, we live and work in all kinds of shades of grey. Not everything needs to be perfect, but when ya fix the CAF let us know :giggle: *note I am not some sort of dress slacker, I took great pride in looking professional when I was in. I just realize that there are acceptable greys in many...

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    Meh the problem generally doesn't exist at units that have adjts or equivalents. Nor do those units generally wear 3b on a regular basis

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    Meh, LL with a bit of weathering will still look better than 90% of current wearers of oxfords.

    Flipped you a PM with the name of someone who can help you and the unit.

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    The policy within the Svc Bn pre-dated them, however it was cleaned up and strengthened under their time as CO. They also briefed the policy to the Bde under them. I do recall one unit CO saying they would get skewered by the troops if it was introduced at their unit.

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    The 1 CMBG SOI follows the CBI and doesn't have it's own set of sub rules. That would be silly and open them up to grievances. It was introduced to make sure that if a CoC decides to remove LDA from a person that the process is procedurally fair and transparent. Before was hodge podge of CoCs...

    LogO training

    Just a quick note that Log Os will either be Logistics Sustainment Officers (LSO) or Logistics Finance Officers (LFO) rather than having separate streams of Supply, Transport etc. It really doesn't impede your wish to pursue a career in movements it just means you will be in the LSO stream...

    Ukraine - Superthread

    I saw a different video that showed that the UAVs that hit Pskov blasted downward with what looked like ball bearings/shrapnel. Powerful enough to go through 2x4s, so easily through aircraft skin. May not be the worst idea to attenuate that effect through tires. Not a great long term solution...

    Military Justice

    I think it is more nuanced than just a binary one means civil prison vs using the detention barracks in Edmonton. Or rather we have the ability to use the detention barracks for both prison and detention It is a QR&O so it pretty legalesey but both appear to be options. Not sure if that is...

    Sounds like they have the right idea both legally and administratively

    Ukraine - Superthread

    I watched all the videos that they put out thanking all the countries. Powerful, moving, well done and quite frankly awesome.

    Military Justice

    You know no industry/workplace that would fire a person convicted of sexually assaulting another employee? Most wouldn't even wait for the trial. I don't care a whit about his continued ability to serve after rehabilitation, they may be the best thing since sliced bread but IMHO we should not...

    Military Justice

    Because any job where one is found guilty of sexual assault would fire the focker. That we choose to keep ppl like this on speaks volumes to our values. This isn't new we continually keep ppl that would in any other industry (other than our own public service) would have fired years ago. I...

    Military Justice

    The detention vs imprisonment debate was interesting and I agree that for rehabilitation purposes for folks that will stay in the CAF detention is the better option. I am hopeful though that the CAF does an admin review and administratively releases Corporal El-Zein as that is someone who...

    Reconstitution

    The international aspect has some challenges and takes up some resources but probably isn't the main focus of what they want to achieve with the pause. Most of the resource draw is on getting the various teams across the CAF ready to depart and much of that draw is the time folks spend not...

    Canada's tanks

    That is a weird way of doing business. The usual way to track the same part made by different manufacturers is list the parts numbers. In Canada, the C7/M16 firing pin has one NSN (1005-00-017-9547) that is common across the entire C7/C8 family which is the NSN created by the USA. Attached to...

    Infantry training in Air Force

    I recall them being there to essentially run IBTS/range training as needed but that might have been a 17 Wing construct only. There were a few wayward Patricias and a PRes folks there FWICR

    Infantry training in Air Force

    Very valid point(s). I wonder how much of the future domestic security needs of RCAF can be fulfilled via non DND/CAF personnel (like what @daftandbarmy suggested WJ do) and what absolutely needs to be done by military folks. There is likely a contracted solution that while costing money can...
