    How's this for a rumour..... Reg's getting out of the PW handling business and giving it to the toons because that's all we've been trg on for the past 10 yrs where you guys had to focus on Pol Ops. Bandied about by people I thought would never think that way.... mind you this was before the...

    Alot of the stuff we seem to be disagreeing on are the same thing. Once I've had some sleep time (getting old) I'll try to post something that sounds intellegent. Or, if someone has a specific question ask and I'll try to answer as a hardcorps PRes member who has his own ideas of what we should...

    MILCOTS conversion

    You don't have to have had your 404's for a year. You do however, need a Dvrss crse with trg on a core veh ie.LSVW. This is because the MILCOTS is still classed as a conversion crse. Same thig happened back when we got the LS. The conversion course if done correctly should take 2 days. 1 day...

    One of the big show stoppers is time. We don't have the time to train up to the same level. It's not just MPs who have this problem all reserve trades do. It doesn't make them less of a troop we just have different roles. There is a gap in capabilities in all trades between regs and res. Just...

    I'll try. Keep in mind this is only not so humble opinion. For Police type trg I want to see us do accident investigation. The majority of issues we dealt with in Bosnia were TA's. We'd have to get some use of force trg to provide commonality of equipment ie Sigs etc... Another thing I'd like to...

    I knew it. :o You got to him before I could and probably said it better than I could have. We have issues but this is no way to solve them. A clear and defined role is wher we need to start in order to get this mess sorted. Once we know what we have to do we can go about trg. as we all know trg...

    Rules of War Controversy

    As someone who does this sort of thing on a regular basis...there is nothing illegal about the use of flex cuffs and blindfolds/bags over the heads. Not everyone carries handcuff keys with them...flex cuffs are lighter than belly chains and you can carry more. I've served with with Maj Wilson...

    Jumper, As far as I know it depends on the what restrictions were put on upon release. Your local CFRC should have a better answer and if they do a VFS find out suitability.

    I'll step in here and try to clear up some of the rumours floating around out here. First I'll provide some background on myself. I was involved with the QS boards for 811s 2 yrs ago and I was a member of the writing board for the PRes 811 new QL 3 package. A few years back (2-3) the then CLS...

    Canadian Health Care System

    One way would be to have health professionals working for the universal system for a set number of hours per day and if they want to..they can set up their own for profit clinic. As long as they provide the federally mandated service I see no issue with them having something on the side. As for...

    Worse Beer in the World

    Bavaria...bad. Molson gave some of it to deployed troops. Over 10 cases! Bartenders in Canada House couldn't give it away still had 7 cases left after 3 months. Also bad: Le Fin Du Monde ( The end of the World) and La Mon Dit both strong Quebec brews. Also remember Labatt XXX? Made my eyes...

    while Garb811 makes a whole hockey sock of good points one of the big reasons there aren't a lot of us out there doing VCPs and convoy escorts is that our numbers can't support it. Another reason is that under the past direction from former PMs the army side of our trade was all but decimated in...
