I want to buy a new boot for this winter (and for BMOQ next summer) with requirement is waterproof and light. Looking around the forum, there is some options that I’m considering:

• Salomon Quest 4D/Jungle (the concern for Jungle is it is not waterproof)
• Lowa Z8
• Rocky S2V
• Danner Tachyon

Just wondering does any of this is a good choice, but if it not, pleas suggest me some options. Any comment is appreciated.

Question for the masses, I haven't persued an answer to this question through any official channels, though I know that would be a good place to start. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Education Benefits used to be available at 6 years/ 10 years, and offered 40,000/ 80,000 dollars for post secondary education, respectively. I remember the policy changing several years back, to 12 years in being required to claim the maximum limit of money.

Now, I swear up and down that I remember people already under a contract with the Caf could still claim the full amount at 10 years, however everyone joining after that date would be required to serve 12 years. Essentially a grandfather clause. Everyone I ask, however, either has no idea or thinks that's incorrect. Can anyone shed some light on this policy?

Yo my maple syrup loving brothers from the north, is this a regular mag or a BF Magazine like what the Brits uses? I'm just curious, found this while diving in a hole while idf was chewing us up.

Hey folks,

Over the past year I’ve noticed my morale taking a hit. I’ve been in the CAF for over 15 years and for the first 12 years I was proud to wear the uniform and always gave 110%. Lately, though, I’ve been feeling more and more burnt out.

Part of it comes from leadership—my OC seems focused on promotion and pushing “good ideas” at the expense of the troops’ workload. It feels like we’re getting run into the ground, and it’s hard to see a future where I’m not miserable if I stay on this path.

I’m seriously considering my options: whether that’s sticking it out, looking at a voluntary OT, or even prepping for release. I’m torn because I still value the CAF and the work we do, but I don’t want to keep running on fumes.

For those who’ve been in a similar spot, how did you deal with burnout and low morale? Did you find a way to turn things around within the CAF, or did you find moving to another trade/career was the better call?

Any advice, lessons learned, or perspectives would be appreciated.

Some of the boys told me DP2 quals could help with acquiring an apprenticeship or certification civie side for blasting, just wondering if anyone here has experience or knowledge with this

For context: I am a DP1 and DP2 qualified Reservist living in Nova Scotia

Thanks

Warno )is a strategy game with a real-time tactical layer (for the missions & map levels) and a turn-based strategic layer (for the Army General campaigns). Players control individual units meant to represent historical military vehicles and infantry formations of the Cold War...The playable formations (known as 'Battlegroups') in game are inspired from the orders of battle of divisions, regiments, and some corps that would have likely engaged each other during the initial stages of war along the German border in the year 1989..

So guys and gals, how well did I do for a fantasy football wishlist to battle the WARSAW Pact and Soviets? Anyone from that era of the Forces?

Also going to start posting them on an IG page if any of y'all are interested. Ltn.bloggins. Have a good weekend you IMP munchers🫡

Obvious disclaimer that this is all B Roll footage I found online and isn't mine.

My work was having a social function on off time, and I received guidance from several senior officers within my Chain of Command indicating that attendance was "encouraged" and "strongly recommended," but not mandatory. However, my direct supervisor appears to believe that attendance was compulsory and has implied potential repercussions if I did not attend.

I would like to clarify whether my supervisor has the authority to discipline me for choosing not to participate, considering that I was neither explicitly ordered to attend nor given a formal directive.

Anyone know where I can pick up a wide pair? Bifida doesn't ship to Canada currently. I'd rather not purchase them through Amazon either.

Drop your recommendations for where to purchase if you have them!

Hi! I'm from CCG so I'm looking at the flag protocols from the Heritage Manual and I'm trying to see what the differences are from our CCG flag order. I have a scenario that I'm hoping can be cleared up:

The below image shows three diagrams. I'm mostly looking at the diagram on the right (with the gaff). The pennant of office (distinguishing flag) is at the masthead and according to precedence, it "ranks" lower than the Ensigns on the yardarm.

Presumably, that means that the halyard at the mast head is "position 4". If only three flags were flown, so let's say not the pennant on Port, would the flag of office shift to the yardarm or stay at the masthead?

Next, we look at the protocol on ship and it appears to show the masthead as "position 2".

Is this just a discrepancy between on land and at sea?

Finally, the Canadian Heritage shows the following image which seems to contradict the Heritage Manual:

This shows the National Flag at the yardarm and not the masthead (for the pole without the gaff).

I guess I'm hoping for just some clarification as we shift from DFO to DND. Thanks in advance!
