By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

CWO Kevin West has seen a lot of changes through his 35 years with the CAF, but when it comes to the way the organization treats its people, the CAF’s senior CWO says not all of those changes have been positive. “Over time, we’ve gotten meaner and cheaper when it comes to people. We’ve cut back on things, we’ve taken things away. Some of it, rightfully so, but far too many times it hasn’t been the right move.” But as he prepares to wind up his military career this coming summer, he told NCMs gathered at Tribute Tower in Halifax that he feels opti- mistic about what’s coming next for the CAF, both in the near future and over the long term. CWO West has been conducting a series of town hall events at bases across the coun- try, with the Halifax stop happening on March 28. He began his career in Halifax as a Naval Reservist in 1983, and served here again in the early 2000s with Helicopter Air Detach- ments as part of 426 Squadron in Shearwater. He spoke about Canada’s latest Defence Policy – Strong, Secure, Engaged, and the funding contained within for health and wellness sup- port, new benefits to military fami- lies, and improved transitions for sick or injured members who release from the CAF, among other areas.

Heading into the finals of the CAF Old Timer’s Hockey National Championship on March 22, all signs were pointing to a gold-medal win for CFB Valcartier.

The final game however, against the 12 Wing Shearwa- ter Flyers, played out differ- ently. After falling behind 1-0 early in the game, the Flyers took the lead in the second period and didn’t give it up, leading to a 4-3 finish and a championship victory for the Atlantic region. “We were able to bring it to another level and we shut them down at their own game,” said CWO Ron MacGillivary, head coach for the Shearwater team through their successful stint at the Regional Championship ear- lier this year as well as at the Nationals at CFB Borden.
