    At least that incident wasn't briefed at CDS Ops the following day. Oh wait...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    Hmmm. I think that your very limited exposure to the interactions within the CA may have allowed you to fall prey to exactly the same stereotyping that you say is being applied to the RCAF. I am not certain that many RCAF or RCN Formation Commanders attend their driver's stag, get into a fight...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    The only time I really enjoyed Brit food was in Baghdad. The DFAC at UIII was.....a DFAC. Eggs came as powdered scrambled or boiled. But, the Canadian Embassy was hosted within the Brit Embassy, and they always had a full fat fry up on the go, with actual fried eggs. Over more than a year on...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    When I was with the Brits on exchange in the mid 90s, we deployed to Bosnia just as the war ended. We had a Sqn from the QDG with us acting as an Infantry Company. They deployed to Bosnia from Germany...and while they were deployed, with their families still in Germany, they lost their...

    "UK to issue ‘threat alert’ over China’s attempts to recruit RAF pilots"

    Not to be a pedant, but your statement was not about what our government thinks. It was clearly about what you think. And I worry that members of the profession of arms seem to lack the ability to see the world as it is, or are intellectually lazy in their portrayals of the geo-strategic...

    "UK to issue ‘threat alert’ over China’s attempts to recruit RAF pilots"

    China is NOT / NOT a future adversary. That typifies the wishful thinking of many in this unserious country. There is a spectrum of conflict that has action verbs such as compete, contest, confront, and if necessary combat. We are on the right end of that spectrum, and have been for some...

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    So we would walk away from all treaty obligations? NORAD? NATO? Officially and publicly rather than surreptitiously through under-funding etc? I am curious as to your source is for what "higher ups are reportedly being told".

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I am amazed at how short-sighted everyone on this site is. Your hatred of the Liberals have blinded you to their genius. They will easily meet the 2% target, and will likely get to 3%. If a country lacks the will, capacity, fortitude, competence, awareness etc to change the numerator, they...

    Hmm. That was oddly phrased. I sure you meant to be supportive.

    To Sound Like a Leader, Think About What You Say, and How and When You Say It

    Sounding like a leader was never a thing I aspired to. I focused my attention (likely with very mixed results) on not even acting like a leader, but rather on being a leader. If you become a leader, you will sound like one.... I never forgot that the troops can smell a phony from a long way...
