I am starting the course next week, i will let you know how it is.

It is possible, but not very likely. The normal route is upon completion of BMQ, you report to Esquimalt for QL3 training. If you do not start trades training right away you go to PAT platoon. Normally they are employed around the base or complete other required training. They are trying very...

I havn't seen/heard the video and this is actually the first i have heard of it. My questions are 1. If there was an MP on the scene why did this Adam guy get involved at all. Surely the MP could have handled it. 2. When there is some sort of exercise going on that could be seen by the public...

Wicked cool pictures man, nice to see how the other half operates during these multinational exercises. Marc :salute:

Thanks Skeletor.

for those that wanted to know, we do indeed actively recruit aboriginal peoples into the CF, and we do focus on the long and storied history between aboriginals and the CF dating back to men like Tommy Prince and others. There is a huge section at the War museum in Ottawa that focuses on it. We...

Actually for most activities that involve children now you are required to have a background check. When i coached my daughters softball team i had to submit a form for the RCMP to the coordinator of the league for our area. However what could have happened is that as the individual was passing...

I feel bad for the kid and his family. Why he was out there alone we will never know. I do know and i believe it 100% that the SAR Techs would have done whatever was necessary to help that young man. Unfortuneatley civilians only see a dead 14 yr old boy. They don't understand about CF flight...

Bravo Zulu :salute:

I was reading some of the information on the back of the package in the picture and i think the company making these toys( they are cool!!) should talk to a few more people in the CF and update their informtion. Last time i looked Marine Canadienne was Canadian Navy, not Army, and the R22R is...

It is also possible that said "Crack House" was not always a crack house. A previous owner my have left the medals there. There could be any number of reasons that they were there. The important thing here is that they were returned to the family.  :cdn: Marc

You would be surprised at how often stuff like that happens. A number of years ago when i worked at the Dive unit in Shearwater, our EOD team received a call about an explosive at someones house. It turned out to be an old hand granade. It was sitting on this old guys mantle for years and years...
