    Correct Grammar, Punctuation... vs Text (Tweets, Emojiā€¦)

    Many people of all ages seem to prefer shortcuts. It is indicative of their own lives when they can't even put out a little more effort to type properly. Yes, it takes take a little bit longer to formulate a proper sentence rather than spew out a continuous line of incomprehensible garbage...

    the Infantry in Mississuaga

    I recall someone saying you guys were either on a 3 or 5 year lease? If it is 5 years then the 2010 date would make sense, but who knows? I'm really hoping for the best for you guys. It would be awesome to have a really strong presence in out there, and having a permanent Armoury building would...

    the Infantry in Mississuaga

    Well, he wanted the current address, so that's what I got him. However, since he hasn't come back in 7 months he probably won't see it, but it will be useful for anybody else who is interested and is searching for it. My information is that there has been a multi-year lease signed for the...

    Would that make PAffOs our shock troops in that arena? ::)

    British Exchange

    You're pretty lucky! You'll be at Moss Park Armoury on Queen Street, right downtown. A ten minute walk to lots of pubs and shops. EDIT: (And women)

    HMCS Toronto

    "The ship will be arriving on the night of the 29th. It will be open to visitors on August 30th and 31st." He didn't know the tour times and where it would be docked, but I'll post it when I find out. It'll most likely be on the local news, CH would mostly likely report on it towards the end of...

    HMCS Toronto

    Nice name, too bad we aren't signed up for that program. The tour is self guided, with crew members along the way at key points to answer questions. The main areas of interest were the flight deck, the hanger, the Harpoon tubes, the bridge, and the BOFORS gun at the bow. This is how it was in...

    Sooo When do I get to Jump out of a perfectly good Airplane!

    I know something similar happens with the US MFP course. Except that in this case it is an Official standby list, and there are a bunch of guys waiting and hoping that a just a few people don't show up so that they can get slotted in. Does something like this happen here? Is there an official...

    Sooo When do I get to Jump out of a perfectly good Airplane!

    I still doubt that a Reservist Private would get on a jump course, but I would be happy if we had that many spots to give away. In my previous post I've clarified my position. I accept that I should've been more clear and shall strive to improve on that in the future. But my intent has not...

    Fort York Armoury to be given up by 2031

    I appreciate that. I've considered the 48th before. Lots of good friends in there. MCpl Young was one of the instructors on my course, and so was Sgt Martin (before he left last year, just so you know which one I'm talking about). Good people, good times...

    Sooo When do I get to Jump out of a perfectly good Airplane!

    I don't think I've been clear on my point and I would like to clarify. First of all I'm not challenging anyone. I understand you guys have been in for a long time and I respect that. That being said, I'm very interested in the jump course myself and have spoken to numerous people with wings...

    Fort York Armoury to be given up by 2031

    Sometimes... But that is good, we should continously test ourselves and improve on what we find lacking. Too many people aren't interested in history, which is a real shame when it comes to the military and our own Units. Thanks. I was just recalling what a buddy of mine from the 48th said...

    Purple Trades: Definition & Trg Discussion

    I just looked at the course list and you are right. It was listed as a Naval serial, but it was listed under a reserve heading which I did not notice at the time. Sorry, my mistake.
