Make that two. It looked like a good display. Good job to all involved and to all CF who were (and are) in the area.

Thanks for the inspiration. You are exactly that to me. Hope things continue to go well for you.

Stumbled on it flipping channels without reading this post first. A good movie. Never heard of it before.

Great letter. There has been way too much police bashing and particularly RCMP bashing by the media and public lately. This was a breath of fresh air.

I wanted to like 9th Company but thought it was horrible. To be fair though I think I just couldn't get past the catastrophic dubbing. It was the same voice for every character practically. It was like someone making fun of the dubbing on a Kung Fu movie from the '70's. Maybe if I watched it in...

It was actually pretty good!

Looks like it might not be bad. I don't imagine they had much of a budget to work with but it's good that someone is trying to tell Canadian stories. My grandfather landed with the Regina Rifles on D-day, so for me it's got even more interest. I'll be watching.

This is for any Border Services Officers out there also serving in the Reserves (particularly those doing shift work at a land border). I currently do not work shift work, but have been a BSO for a couple years now and am interested in transferring to a Land Border. At the same time, I also...

Reading this thread I noticed one of the pictures posted showed an elderly veteran with a bandage on his face. I was curious and googled his name: Harold Prout. You don't get any more heroic than that man in my opinion...

This relates to recruiting in that it may affect the ease of some peoples' re-joining the CF. Hopefully this has not been posted before: A few years back I transferred to the Supplementary Reserves from the Primary Reserve. I understand that I am required to inform someone if my address has...

I apologize if this is in the wrong place and/or a waste of time for you guys, but I can't find the answer to this after some searching and thought others might be curious. I was wondering if it is public knowledge yet what the rotation of units will be to Afghanistan through 2011 (the supposed...

Before we jump on Holland, don't forget that if Dion and Layton have their way, we'll be just like them. Most of NATO appears to be headed in that direction, with the exception of Britain and the US. Disgraceful. I hope Holland and Canada stay, and other NATO partners start getting into the...
