We are continually stuck in the buy it all at once, but not enough and then husband it mode. It also doesn't help that even if you had contract options that we are pretty small potatoes and a pain to deal with which limits the amount of folks that want to deal with us and likely drives up the...

Yea there will be some adjustment of the ratios and some environments would lose some folks and some would gain. We aren't adding posns for the most part just potentially moving them to ensure if I am understanding you correctly.

What are those significant PY investments? I do agree that moving to this model means there needs to be some realignment and more oversight on managing folks but generally posns would stay the same. It just proposes that RCN posns on RCN bases would be filled largely by RCN DEU'd personnel...

LOL I believed that sort of nonsense for like a weekend when I was in the Mo, right up until I had a task that needed both hands and carry my weapon.

It was just a typo/awkwardly worded and all Log Os will be trained on HR as confirmed by the RCLS Integrator on the DiaLOGue cafe https://hangar.cloud.forces.gc.ca/discussions/2988

Agreed, we should be integrated from a systems perspective but pretty sure @Halifax Tar is referring to the fact that currently all Log NCM trades are treated as purple throughout their career unlike Log Os who generally matriculate and do developmental positions within their environment. They...

Considering the decision has been made to remove rifle drill at this stage of training your post is on point. While reading recent Court Martials I was struck by this comment in one of them From MacKay v. The Queen ([1980] 2 S.C.R. 370, at page 400) "given that young members undergo their...

What? Not everyone needs to be gold on the Coopers or FORCE test? Are you saying they can do their job(s) based a methodological fitness test based on actual standards and be ok for most tasks given to them across the CAF? Now @Castus before you think I am tweaking you too much, I agree that...

I was infantry from 1997 - 2007 Res & Reg Force then I went Log O. In that time went to Bosnia and Afghan a few time in a variety of roles and lots of in-between fun. I wasn't great but I was decent enough and there enough ppl on this forum that know me personally that can call me to account...

If one posts like reddit I will respond like reddit. You ignored my level responses to the remainder of the thread and attack me one my response after I was attacked....

The threat of physical abuse if one messes up is not quite the flex you think it is....

But but innocent until proven guilty or some BS like that

Being old isn't an impediment man. Adding nothing of value to the conversation is a killla dude. It is an important conversation for the CAF cause this stuff matters. It is an innocuous subject but it does give insight to larger issues at play from a number of perspectives. We may be wrong...

Just like the updates to clothing in 1997-2005 this is a welcome change. We are a slow beast but we do change.

Cute story brah, got anything of substance to add?

Who exactly are we not retaining and why is likely the larger question. You have brought forward a potential correlation which is an interesting one but would love to see some data that backs up any assertion on retention. Very anecdotal but most exit interviews I did with folks or managed on...

Every generation is worse than its predecessors just ask the previous generation ;) I can imagine the whining of the generation before the Greek Phalanx & Roman Maniple was introduced saying they did war too easy now. Considering that boomers made up the sex love and rock and roll generation...

That is quite the broad brush..... I understand though getting tired of telling people the same thing over and over again. I feel the same way when I have to tell some old dinosaur how to log into their computer or how to do some minor task with technology. I also don't think that all...

Not quite sure people won't relate to the org because we cut rifle drill at BMQ/BMOQ Recruiting for militaries is down across the Western world so there is obviously something larger at play. One could argue changing identity is the issue or maybe the old ways of endearing ourselves to folks...
