My point exactly. As per many other posts, bully your opinion across as being the right one.

We are up to seven pages of debate on this issue, and while I may be wrong, there have been 0 comments by those who actually birth the children and are the most impacted. This may be because a) the forum in general has chased away most of the female members; b) none of the women want to inject...

I know this link is to a wikipedia article, and shouldn't be taken as gospel, but do the same rules apply? Rape in Vietnam

I would ask the question before signing the offer, and make sure you are happy with the decision to go the Army route. While there is a process to change DEUs, it is becoming more rare at the Junior level to allow Army Logisticians to go Blue at the very beginning of their careers without...

Are you recommending we send them back to where they came from? I'm just curious on what a viable solution is for any colour of government to deal with this issue. The stats provided are the average costs, not what they are being given to spend on what they want. Why not go after the...

I think the stats are the average salary required, not the actual cost of housing.

That would have been a site to see, given that the last runway was closed to all air traffic in 2013.

I thought about this while I was typing that part out. I agree with the majority here that individuals who get huge face tattoos, at the time they choose to get those tattoos, are probably not what we are looking for as military personnel. Or they were you ng and stupid and got stars tattooed...

So judging a book by its cover are we? I would understand your argument if you said face tattoos are not congruent with the need to have a "professional look" due to the public duties in which the military is involved. But to write someone's credibility off just because they look different in my...

The only issue that I have with this process is that it treats having a beard, and being able to grow one in, as a privilege that can be dictated by someone else, and not like what it is - body hair. And here is my argument against treating if differently than any other body hair (within the...

The entire Log Training structure is changing, beginning in 2025. Courses are being rewritten, OFP is being moved to after what was traditionally phase 3 (LOCC). Given where you are in the process, you are perfectly lined up to be a guinea pig in the first set of pilot courses the school in...

Grief causes people to do very strange things.

The truth of it is that by the time most of the individuals reach the LGen level, they are all capable of leading the institution (which is what the position is about). So it becomes the other things that are the differentiators. It does become about what the messaging is all about and what the...

Despite what many of the rank and file may think, many of the MGens and LGens are very astute political individuals. Which may be the reason why no announcement has been made, and why I have heard the CDS has rolled his date to the right. If I am one of the top female candidates for the post, do...
