Thanks a lot everyone. Right now it looks like my best bet is to contact PMCs.  The biggest hurdle is figuring out who they are.  Most reserve units barely have internet/intranet sites let alone recent update contact info.  I need to find the PMC for the 11th Field Artillery Regiment in Guelph...

I am getting married in a year or two and my finacée and I were interested in possibly doing it at a local military establishment.  I am a reg force member currently in Ottawa.  She is from Guelph so that's where we'd like to do it near. I was told they would have no problem renting it out at...

Finally an official update http://cda-acd.mil.ca/j3ops/ilpaccess-eng.asp and then

Good Day All, I did a search on this topic in these forums and the only relevant thread I found was here (http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/16844.150.html) which quickly diverged to being singularly focused on the British military. I am currently in CF and my initial contract is up in...

Thanks Yeah I've seen and read these.  They tell you the who, the what, the when, where and why.  But not the how of how to put it together and what to send through the CoC. This looks like a good read to help me.  Thanks, that will keep me busy in the morning.

Good Evening, I am fairly new to military administration so I am having a bit of difficulty working through this one.  For obvious privacy reasons I can't give much detail.  I have searched this topic using the wonderful search engine on this forum (which rivals that of the DWAN) but found...

I used to think I have naturally weak wrists.  Instead of coming up with excuses I started actively training them with the rest of my weight training plan.  You can order Captain of Crushes and quickly develop wrist strength.  You can go to your gym and do farmer walks.  You can do towel hangs. ...

I have been looking for an answer for this and Google and the forum search engines do not turn up an answer. Are we in the Canadian Forces required to salute an officer of a foreign military that is higher ranked than ourselves?  And vice-versa, are Americans required to salute Canadian...

Thanks a lot all, you've helped me think about this and get on the right path.

The threats toward at the Canada came in the form of the Cold War and the Soviets.  While they were more directly involved with the Americans, Desmond Morton points out that we were involved on the US's side whether we wanted to or not.  This leads into stuff like NATO and NORAD.  External...

I am taking defence of the realm to mean "defence at home" where as acting as an instrument of Canadian foreign policy is being the "pointy end of the spear".  I don't think I would take the first to actions of supporting the empire, it's been too long that Canada was a British Colony by this...

Currently I am working on my history OPME paper and all I have left is the final paper to write.  The question I am choosing to go with (as it seems the lesser of all evils) is:  "After the Second World War, the Canadian military was less committed to defence of the realm than acting as an...

Good Day, I am currently living in Ottawa and I am 6' 3" with a waist of 36".  I have an air force mess kit but it is a few inches too short on me so I am looking to sell it. It comes with suspenders, and LCol ranks. If you are interested feel free to try it on before buying.  Message me...

I am writing a brief on the engima machine and I am able to find a bunch of general information on how it works, the history etc etc What I am lacking on information is, where the Canadians at all involved with Enigma?  I know there was the "Ultra" Project running out of Britain with very few...
