Your new here right? :ROFLMAO: The stories I could tell about 36/37 CBG.

It appears this is a 31 CBG initiative only, 31 Signals order states specifically it has a 50 member cap. Interestingly, Royal New Brunswick Regiment on the other hand has auth all pers to attend and receive a full days pay IOT represent the Regiment at social events in their AOR (They are one...

According to the RCMP: Storing firearms safely Store the ammunition separately or lock it up. It can be stored in the same locked container as the firearms. Non-restricted firearms Attach a secure locking device, such as a trigger lock or cable lock (or remove the bolt) so the firearms cannot...

I think you have the order a bit wrong. I believe it should be the fol as the order goes right to left, front to back: Commander France-----Canada UN---------UK City Flag---RCN Ensign Empty------City Flag Precedence is Canada Flag on the right as it is the superior posn, Other...

If I had to guess it was due to Halifax historically being the home of the Army in Atlantic Canada. Atlantic Command (1942-1945), Eastern Command (1946-1968), Atlantic Militia Area (1970-1992), Land Force Atlantic Area (1992-2012), and 5th Cdn Division (2013-2026)

Lack of parts. Not high enough in the pri (for Base).

According to AI: Can you wear the CVFSA medal on your dress uniform in the Canadian Military? No, you cannot wear the CVFSA medal on a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) dress uniform. Under official military regulations, there is a strict and direct rule against mounting or wearing unofficial or...

I lived that reality. It's not what you think it is. The 1 TAPV (in Three years I think I had 2 for 6 months tops) spent it's life rotating from Unit Trg (~3-4 months a year), to being flat bedded to Gagetown 3-4 times a year for maint and the mandatory "inspections" where it would sit for a...

When I was with the Essex and Kent we would either go to Cedar Springs Range and Training Area (very infrequently) or the majority of the time to the US based Camp Grayling. Way better facilities and service in the US.

5XX (Formerly known as) ran Veh Tech Dp1 at NSCC for the last two summers. Worked well I'm told. My nephew was on this summers course and he liked it. He already had NSCC's civi veh tech course so some of it was a repeat, but overall he said he learned a lot.

Ack all, but apparently things are not the same in all Brigades apparently (Shocker I know). I can only speak to my former Brigade 36 CBG, but the policies you talk about were/are different here: Pay is allocated based on the effective strength at a unit which was calculated by taking that...

I'm not saying I agree with that. I'm saying the CoC wants a large number of troops on paper. Whether they are TES seems to be a non-requirement due to numbers dropping. Yes there is a training funnell currently, but there is also lack of will at senior levels. For example we (Former 5XX)...

That is the crux. According to the Army G1 shop we have 22,570 reservists of which only 10,325 are trained effective strength. That's only 45%. The problem I see is no one wants to enforce a trg standard because the numbers will drop. A high non-trained number total is better then a low...

IMO, you are borderline on suitability as you currently are (given the limited information). Combat Arms are typically a young man's game and Basic can be tough for some. But. You can likely do this if you put the effort in. Others here may have some additional/better suggestions, but I would...

How much filament did that take? And is the file available for free?
