I‘ve only heard about time out cards once when it comes to the Canadian
Armed Forces and I was pretty sure it was BS when I heard it. As far as
the US military goes, thats where I first heard about time out cards.
Actually it was the CNN web site where I first heard of it, about 3 years
ago at least. If I can remember correctly all candidates on basic training
were given a card to pull out when they thought the training was too hard.
After showing this card they were given a 30 minute time out. This product
of the Clinton administration is obviously a huge threat to the combat
readiness of an armed force, but I‘m pretty sure that an soldier that isn‘t
up to standards will get "sorted out" when they get to they‘re unit.

Thank you for clearing that up, I heard it from a serving member of the mortar
platoon with 1 RCR last fall and just about tripped over my jaw. I knew
standards had changed, but am glad not to that degree.

I can assure you that they are not in use for Regular or Reserve Force
training at the Land Force Central Area Training Centre Meaford. At least
they weren‘t today while I was at work.
Nor have recruits been arriving from the Recruit School in St. Jean asking
for them. I expect they would if they had becomed accustomed to using them.
My regards to Maj Hand, but I am still waiting for a single first hand
report. with names, dates, course, unit, etc. Until then I will continue
to consider Time-Out cards an urban legend.

I too heard rumours over the years beginning in 96 and then 97/98 at WATC
Shilo. Never saw them used at Shilo. Last year I was in Wainwright and
time out cards were not used. If there is any substance to the rumour, it
may be that it was once considered at CFRS St Jean but discarded. I
think people ‘heard‘ that they were being used there and it has ballooned
into near urban myth proportions.

Interesting... St.Jean sur Richeleau is the small city outside of Montreal
where the Regular Force recruit school is. A friend of mine who went
through the Language School in St.Jean with me went back last summer as a
Course Officer and tells me that the cards are an urban myth.
I give this Capt a lot of credibility, and he WAS there.
Ah well... my outlook.

Time out cards to my understanding have been used in WATC Wainwright. However
some instructors have taken that one step further and implemented their own
version of these cards. They are known as "Carry on Cards". These cards are to
trump any time out give by a student who feels in anyway harassed. In my opinion
these individuals the ones with the time out cards need to take a moment to
remember it is the military they joined and there is always going to be a bit of
intimidation. Not that it is right or wrong but a fact none the less.

Are these the same "red cards", that where used At LFCA TC Meaford AKA RCR
BSL, during the summer of 1998. I had heard rumours of it, but when tasked
to the Armd Trg Sqn, last summer I couldn‘t get a confirmation.
