    Soldier Operational Clothing and Equipment Modernization

    On my last visit to clothing stores I was issued a tunic that was made in 2002, and had the very first CADPAT cut of the old pockets, no button covers. Nearly see through. I'm not holding my breath.

    Shortest full-time training commitment for P-Res

    I'll second this. Do not join based on "what takes the least time to become trained" Join instead on whatever trade is available to you in your geographic area PRes wise firstly, and secondly what you want to do if multiple trades are available in your area. I personally guarantee you, every...

    Cost of housing in Canada

    Policing at the executive level, whether a municipal chief or highly ranked RCMP/OPP/SQ executive is absolutely 100% political. It isn't supposed to be, but that's part of the problem we as a profession find ourselves in. You can't just dismiss politics outright at this level of office, even if...

    Again, he should have stayed a beat cop.

    Douglas Todd - The most diverse military regiment in Canada is in Vancouver

    Back on topic, the article is more of a rebuttal to the Canadian military Journal's assertion that the CAF is a racist, bigoted and colonial institution that needs to be burnt to the ground.

    Military Police branch will receive their new 9 mm service pistol in 2024: the C24

    The GBA+ thing is mainly about the trigger weight of our current pistol (12lbs) and its consequences for cadets and members with smaller hands or weaker grip strength. I'll let your piece together on your own who that is. If they're going to use it to get us a modern combat pistol with RDS and...

    Canadian Army recruiting video - 2024

    Cool. Now they need to do underfunded Reserve units in other parts of the country with obsolete, dilapidated kit, no spare parts or spare vehicles and no cool missions like a Jump company. No? Strange...

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    If I ran the place, instead of considering overall service and time in Surrey for whom to release, I would look at how much time on GD they had, and if they were still on GD. You have your fancy section job? Back of the line, or back to the road. The members on GD have been there since the...

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    Meanwhile, the list of members I know whose next career move has come up, they have won the position and then been refused release from Surrey grows by the month, creating a nice little bubble of members with low morale and growing anger toward our management that made a big stink about...

    Lawyers Allegedly Behaving Badly

    There's a way to defend this client without claiming the 13 year old rape and murder victim found her attacker attractive, or that the physical evidence was found inside her body because the act was consensual, but apparently this lawyer has decided the public rage at his comments is somehow...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    The real shame is we aren't sending all of these fighting aged folks to go take their points to the IDF personally.

    RCMP New Firearms Required Discussion- Split From New MP Decal Thread

    New Request for Proposals out today, lots of the same info in there not much has changed. RFP here I did notice under Annex E Performance Evaluation it now says Depot Firearms instructors and ERT members will not be part of the evaluation and a PSPC fairness monitor will be, so I'm starting to...

    Military Police branch will receive their new 9 mm service pistol in 2024: the C24

    Having very recently had dental surgery that did not go as expected and engaged me in a significant recovery period in addition to a significant bill post benefits, I wholeheartedly agree with this message.

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Fair enough. I'm going to bow out of this discussion because I don't really have any new points, and I don't want to circle around. I'll leave you with this. When I joined, there were members of my unit fresh back from Afghanistan, who had served on the Leopards. That's all I've ever wanted to...
