Grading weekend.

I think I would rather have done the exam than grade it… 🤔

We hosted an amazing panel on Social Media Use in the @CanadianForces & @CanadianArmy today at #CACSC for the #AOC students

Really great conversation on the risks and benefits of professional discourse via this medium

Thanks for participating @cdnnavylady.bsky.social & others!

Our first brigade exercise of this #AOC is complete.

Lots of planning, executing, and most importantly learning occurred.

Looking forward to the next one starting next week!

Another AOC starts tomorrow!

Super pumped to meet my new syndicate and get started. I hope the students are as fired up right now as I am!

Spent the day FLOCARKing with the students, which obviously meant a lecture dedicated to the importance of using exclusively Superfine Staedtlers.

Some of them seemed to prefer Mediums 🤮

Refreshing on OPFOR tactics as I prep to lead our syndicate through Enemy Course of Action Development all day tomorrow.

Should be a good day!

Any day spent outdoors is generally better than the alternative. Today was made especially great as we were able to discuss defensive operations with thoughtful, engaged, Canadian Army officers.

Key advice from our current student Brigade G5 to the plans team:

-Stay calm
-Stay analytical
-Stay focused on the future

And now, let the grading begin 😢

It’s going to be a long week and weekend, but we’ll get it done 💪

Another day of Estimate Exam grading underway.

This stack of overlays is a representation of what my brain looks like right now 🧠🔥

We wrapped up a rigorous week at #CACSC #AOC with lessons that resonate beyond the course. As we strengthen our defense tactics through simulation, we were reminded that the @eFPBGLatvia is doing it real time daily to bolster our contribution to @NATO's collective security goals.

Practice estimates are in!

Time to start grading 😢

We spent yesterday attriting our simulated enemy. Today we will destroy them in our main defensive area.

It has been awesome to see our students learn how to concurrently fight a battle and plan the next step. They are really coming along.

Kicked off the simulated AOC brigade road move this morning. Student commanders were at the wheel & several interesting tactical scenarios unfolded for them.

Again, many great learning moments throughout the day.

Had a great day discussing Battle Group operations with our syndicate. TEWTs are an awesome way to inspire interesting conversations. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the TEWT series, over the next few weeks.

Fun day getting into our first simulated exercise. Today, the students gave orders to and conducted a Combined Arms Rehearsal with the role players acting as their sub-unit commanders.

Tomorrow they will fight their simulated operation!

The estimate exam is underway!

Orders dropped at 0800 and now the students have 8hrs to conduct their analysis.

I’m looking forward to see what they produce. I’m not looking forward to the hours of grading ahead of me, starting tonight.

Listened to some really great Enemy Course of Action briefs from the syndicate today. This is their second round on the estimate and it is impressive to see how far they have come in a short period of time.

The course isn’t over yet, but today was picture day!

Just a couple of days of domestic operations lectures, course reports and a mess dinner to go until this one is truly complete.

Proud of how far we have all come over the last few months.

As I walked through the Fort Frontenac tunnel today, I thought about the psychedelic owl art that my course donated as a gift to #CACSC 🦉

It reminded me how much I learned while I was here as a student & how far I’ve come since

I hope my students are having similar experiences

The Canadian forces need a fundamental restructuring.

Right down to the Section level, with a focus on Drone & electronic warfare.

Starting at CACSC

This needs to happen IMMEDIATELY,

As fundamental as adding Heavy Machine guns to all the regiments.

Or transitioning to mechanised infantry.

There's no particular reason from the Premiers to be involved in that discussion from the start - they're also a group that couldn't do it quietly.

But I doubt there's anything formal about this. Maybe some discussions in classes at CACSC. I'd be shocked at much more than that.

In these hallowed halls where operations are born,
The air buzzes with ideas, from night till morn.
Here, where history and innovation intertwine,
The students will learn to operationally shine.

Exciting day for us at #CACSC as the first student Brigade Commanders were assigned & began receiving the first briefs from their staffs for Brigade Exercise 2 of #AOC

It has been great seeing them continue to hone their tactical planning skills!
