If you are interested in giving the CF a try and you don't get accepted into the Reserves for the aforementioned reasons, then you can always give the Regular Forces a go.  It isn't as if when you join you spend your life in the army.  You'll sign a Basic Engagement which is a three year...

I just set up an account with statefarm insurance in Ontario (although they have agents in Alberta too) and I'm pretty satisfied with the deal I'm getting.  This website might help if you are interested. http://www.statefarm.ca/

Come on, look at this guy - we're getting worked up over a little attention seeking toothpick?  What he says definately angers me, but there are people like this all over the world.  Although I must say I do concur with KevinB's statement, no tears spent or sleep lost on my end either. You all...

Yeah...it takes a lot more than that to become a pilot pretty much anywhere.  I do understand that you are probably not well versed in how the process works, so I suggest that you get in contact with your closest recruiting centre to aquire the necessary information.  They can probably help you...

I think I have a solution that lets you both (it was a Chinese style execution, although I do not believe it was very common): Shoot him, then bill his family for the round spent.

Indeed, my goal, however, was to keep my points as clear and simple as possible, as one could literally write novels about the subject.  That and I must admit my offhand T34 history for its gradual evolution is a little rusty...My overall intent is simply to convey that it was capable of keeping...

"What was the best tank of the Second World War" is a pretty commonly thrown around question.  I agree with Mr. Dorosh in stating that there is no real answer to this question, as  these vehicles were designed to carry out different roles (i.e. recce, support, tank-hunter/killer).  However, if...

Just the "keep[ing] the...semi-real" part actually - I figured that was implied. My apologies.

I know this is a bit off topic, but... aesop081: I find it hard to believe that there are many officers coming out of RMC with the so called "God" complex.  There are absolute tools wherever you go, and sometimes maybe they can come from RMC.  However, the impression I get is that everyone...

George Wallace Yeah, I pretty much saw that one coming - I figured budget would come into it too.  Good points. Just thought I'd ask - I've never even held an MP5 - it just looks like something that would be easier to carry around and use in an urban environment.

I'm still very new to the CF - but I would like to ask a question to all those experienced guys out there as I can tell there are.  Given the environments we are operating in, would it not be optimal to have say two crew members sling a C8 when you need to go that little extra distance, and have...

First of all, being a fourth year history major, I like to think that I can read/write by now - the squadron name does not necessarily give the location, which is the reason as to why I posed the question in the first place. As for Tim Daigle and Grace Bulger, I can't say that I know them -...

No foxtwo, sorry about the confusion - My question is directed to WO2_mandal.  I was wondering what squadron he is in because I'd like to think I had seen most of the atlantic region Cadet squadrons during my time in the program, and he knows someone from my old squadron.

Yes I know her - I used to work at Zellers with her mother actually.  Her twin sisters were also in one of my biology classes in high school. I believe Robin was a Sgt. or F/Sgt. before I left. I do not believe I am familiar with your squadron - where is it located?

Any 517 F/Lt Graham Air Cadet current members/"veterans" here? I came back to visit while dropping my little brother off for a regular training night and was surprised at how long it has been when I saw the WO1 - he used to be an AC in my flight back when I was Flight Commander.  Must have been...
