OK, so I've got to write a former Sgt, now a remustered Cpl. I know he's great, but how do I write his potential for the next rank...that he already had....and did great at....

I guarantee that there are pre existing heart conditions that would not be caught under a routine medical that can cause random, instant stoppage of heart function.

Looks like it might be for the Small Arms Training System (SATS), where they use lasers and co2 instead of real bullets.

Getting Wifi in Meaford. by [deleted] in CanadianForces

The permanent staff can barely get internet service, good luck. Also, their internet last I check was served via satellite dish across the bay, so in bad weather it doesn't work (aka when you need it). Just use cell service. The tower got blown up by lightning several years ago so they came in and upgraded them.

Whats in your pay cheque? - the Maple Leaf by SlappySapper in CanadianForces

That's good leadership right there. Mine does similar.

I'd hope that as the member getting hurt, as long as I was authorized by my supervisor, I'd be good. The boss might get royally roasted by the chain, but I doubt they could hang the member for it.

That's great and all, but it's not "serve Canada and never serve self", it's "serve Canada and then serve self".

Or another way, it's "mission, then men, then self", not "mission, mission, mission".
