Curious what you folks think of a political candidate wearing medals while campaigning (Tim Laidler). http://www.thestar.com/news/federal-election/2015/09/21/terry-fox-family-denies-support-for-tory-promise.html

Strongly worded e-mail sent to producer. Hopefully Keith's story will be pulled down shortly with an apology issued. As a veteran I'm pissed. I'm even more pissed as a journalist. Simple fact checking would have gone a long way.

You doubt what? The FACT that I just told you Reserve units have the capability? Or that most reservists don't know how to use the equipment because it hasn't been part of their trades courses (save for the last few years)? I don't know what you are getting at. Your comment about some...

For such a controversial topic I can't believe that there has hardly been a peep of opposition to the question posed here. It's all well and good to study rates of diagnosis for vets from Afghan/Iraq, but these are very recent conflicts. Some food for thought...

PRT used sig ops as PL sigs

The best advice I can give is, wherever you go, anything can happen. Especially if you end up heading overseas stuff change and positions will open up all the time. That being said, your question about what BN to go where they will treat you best? I can't imagine it would matter, if you are...
