gunner,
While there is employment equity, CF members in uniform also have to contend with "universality of service". There are instances of "accomodation" but, for the most part, that's limited to one instance of accomodation.... Nothing stopping someone from being an employee of DND without being a member of the CF.
Anyone who has seen MCpl Franklin in action will acknowledge that he is doing more good in uniform than he would out of uniform... will be interesting to see how CF regs will do cartweels to deal with this one.
"up the establishment"!!!
Chimo!
