The poppy is an international symbol of remembrance and is worn from the last Friday in Oct until Remembrance Day. Always worn on the left breast, it is pinned close to the heart or on a CAF member’s CADPAT rank. Here are the proper positions for pinning poppies while in uniform.

This is an outstanding podcast on BAOR tactical planning. A great analysis of how NATO planned to fight, and development of British conventional warfighting tactics in the 1980s, and how wargaming played a vital role in this process.

@MidOfficer Agreed, but the first option can be implemented in weeks, the others take years.

@MidOfficer correction above "its important to retain the right core of tools.."

[Chris Hunt @cwhunt_75]

@MidOfficer The "X capability argument should be dropped" is the same argument that was made with AD and AA a decade ago. Threats change and its important to the right core of tools in the toolbox to retain skills, so when the job changes, you can easily expand/update the tools needed.

[Chris Hunt @cwhunt_75]

@MidOfficer The Canadian Army also re-learned a hard lesson in blood in the summer/fall of 2006 about what happens when infantry attacks prepared defensive positions without tanks.😐

@okeefehistorian @kehler_nathan I actually bought mine from a book store in Dieppe and I believe it is only available en francais. Hopefully @okeefehistorian has a link to an online bookstore. It'd be great for the publisher to find a Canadian partner to put out an english translation in Canada.

[Chris Hunt @cwhunt_75]

@okeefehistorian @kehler_nathan The book in the photo is an excellent resource. It basically describes what each tank did during the raid.
