In my brief experience in the 'Mo, I have never actually heard of anyone being charged or getting into trouble based on the SHARP protocols which are now in place. Perhaps anecdotes from other users on this forum can serve to prove SHARP's validity or its stupidity, I do not know....
However as far as a mindset, I have split opinions on Canada's lack of 'espirit du core' (sp?). I am sure we have all witnessed enough television and movies to see the marching cadence's, philosophies, and the like being reinforced into American recruits, "There is nothing more dangerous than a Marine and his rifle", "Spirit of the Bayonet - KILL KILL KILL with cold blue STEEL!", "What makes the grass grow green?? BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD". You all know where I am going with this. Does this lack of a philosophy have a negative effect on our morale? Or does the lack of said motto's and philosophies seperate us from our more bloodthirsty compatriots - we are the most requested peacekeepers in the world after all.
Of all the PC issues in the Army today, nothing bugs me more than the fact that you can be completely incompetant, yet still pass or even excel in courses. Not only the incompetent, insubordinate, or unmotivated be discharged in their basic training, but recruits should have certain fitness, intelligence, and competency standards to ensure that only the upper echelons make it back to their unit. Perhaps CFRC does a certain amount of screening to weed out the weak or inept, however it would be nice to see people graduate courses glad that they "made it". Certainly my BMQ 2+ years ago, 25-35% of the recruits had no business being in the military, and probably I would only want the top 40% beside my if the $#$# hit the fan....
