    Smokey Smith funeral time for Vancouver

    The paper here in Winnipeg was calling it the largest Canadian military parade since the 50's but I'm not sure what that means in terms of real numbers.

    The Medical - medications that CAF will NOT accept

    I'm pretty sure it would be because of what infantrygf said above. Accutane can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, etc. and the CF doesn't want to take on anyone with the possibility of this happening.

    Pensioner vs. Refugee

    Why exactly should we be cutting back support for people fleeing things like murder and rape in their own homes? I don't see what your reasoning for this is. Bob

    Keeping quals like wings if you realease and come back as NCM

    I wasn't sure where to put this so I decided here was a good start. ;D Just out of interest, no practical application, if you qualify as a pilot and after your 7? years, release and later come back as a NCM, could you still wear your wings? I'm pretty sure this would be the rarest situation to...

    Uniform Question

    You can use them, this site just prefers that you don't if you're not actually in that unit or have that rank.

    Uniform Question

    Magma, I find it pretty hard to believe that you're a Sgt. and don't know how to wear the uniform. Around here they're pretty strict about not pretending to be someone you aren't. So, you should probably either fill out your profile  to back it up, or change your avatar.

    There was a thread about this a while back if you want to search. I think it was in one about saluting officers in a hallway.  If thats any help at all. ;D

    How do YOU put your pants on?

    That's why you guys need kilts.  ;D That plus, when its about 33 degrees here in the Peg, there's nothing quite like that cool breeze.

    Bilingual Regiment Names

        You're both right, but in day to day usage in French, "fusil" is used in place of gun. It's pretty much a generic term. Also "voltigeur" is the accepted French term for Rifleman, I just forgot that when i was making my original translation. "Fantassin" is used for a regular infantryman.

    You're right. Sorry, that was some sloppy French on my part.
