I'd check out this thread... It's "Don't Let This Happen" in Military Related by Jungle.

This is true. A few of my buddies were lucky and got to sign their contracts under the old 20 yr rule (this was quite recently), but the poor schmoes behind them weren't so lucky. I didn't know about this "buy back" rule though. Is that true? In which case, maybe it'd be more costly for me to go...

I don't see MOSID to be merely a change in acronyms. For sure, TQ = GMT = QL2 = BRT = BMQ (I think that is how it goes), is lengthy and dumb because all that changes is the NAME. The course itself remains the same (yes that opens up a whole other topic, but let's pretend it's the "same" course...

It is incredibly hard now to kick a bag 'o hammers off a course  - especially a BRT.. or BMQ... whatever it's called nowadays. Without a mile high pile of paperwork that is written, read, then proofread and edited a dozen times, it's virtually impossible... and the guy (or girl) gets through the...

Woohoo!! I just became a "New Member"!! And, Bruce, you are correct. Takes 25 posts to become a full member, which then gives one the ability to promote or demote. Thanks for answering my questions, all :-)

The Cpls and the MCpls see the BS and catch a whiff of the politics (or are dragged into them)... The ptes don't really have a clue until they start getting screwed by everything from higher up... The Sgts still speak their mind with brutal honesty and likewise get screwed by politics. The WOs...

Hmm... Why were you asking about Maggrah?

Ahh I figured that... It's all good. And George, if we keep up the discussion about MOSID, for sure I'll be more than just a guest soon enough  ;)

I see what you are referring to, only these buttons are not there...  :-\ Bah. Thanks anyway.

Hmm... There is no Promote, Demote button between the Rating and Online status of anyone's post that I see. Is it a priviledge of those who are higher than Guest?

There are still a lot of things to be worked out with this MOSID project. Keep in mind that it is still a work in progress. Specifics, like exactly what would qualify one to receive a certain code and periods of time that keep codes current have to be worked out. And again, PERs, course reports...

Well, we've gotta deal, so look 'em up. The codes on your driver's licence are on the back, and if they aren't, go see your friendly neighbourhood MSE Op and they'll know. One of the biggest problems with change is that we all have to keep up...

Maybe another way to solve the problem is to look at other militaries (perhaps the American military?) for ideas on how to identify the qualities of our soldiers. I don't mean to devalue anyone's views, but the opinions of Cdn soldiers in leadership positions regarding their troops are fairly...

"So all cabinet ministers should be qualified airline pilots and railroad engineers (cause they might need to vote on bills put forth by the transport minister), own their own dories (fisheries), have some degree of medical training (public health), have degrees in science and commerce, and have...

<lol> Thanks guys. That helped a lot! Hmm... now to find this elusive ranking column... <runs off in the general direction of the Member Lists>

I don't know if that would help... They might just treat it like a vacation... Paid accomodations made cushy for their benefit, souvenirs to bring home to the kids, and free tours courtesy of frontline CF personnel who are required to gloss over their ways of speech so that they don't offend...

Maybe they should have said that the Iltis was the most appropriate vehicle for the Canadians to be used AT THE TIME. Then again... Were the new Mercedes being used at the time? And would, say, a UN forerunner have afforded any more protection than an Iltis that would have significantly...

Maybe I am just blind, but I can't find an explanation of rankings (the +5/-10 or so under a person's stats) anywhere and I'm pretty confused. Also, can someone please tell me how to quote another's post in reply? I am referring to the quotations outlined in black with yellow as the...

Good story, good moral.

LCISTech227 has a pretty good explanation of what that MOSART questionnaire was for and how the big guys in Ottawa are planning to revamp our system. At the place I was working at, all the Comms guys (reg force and reserve) had to fill out the questionnaire as well (officers and NCMs filled out...
