How do you stop the arms trade into there? You‘re not going to just ask these people (the Weapons dealers) to stop selling weapons are you? You might as well ask Ronald to stop selling BigMacs. Besides, 800 000 (+/-)Rwandans were killed using machetes. Not many Ak‘s used there. The Sudanese...

Guys, c‘mon! Look how long it has taken to kit out the CF with the whole "Clothe the soldier" program. It has been 8 years plus now to get the gortex out to even part of the deployable forces. And the Cadpat! I mean jeez! How many of you have stories from work about guys having Cadpat pants but...

What do you call the missions to Somalia, Rwanda, Eritrea, Congo, Rwanda (again), Mozambique, and Congo (again)? These are all missions that the UN and Canada as part of most of the missions (if not all) that have taken place in the continent of Africa. Some lasted years. It isn‘t just financial...

This Jabbertalk place was a dead end. I‘m ‘pooter illiterate. Come someone direct me to a working site that will allow me to use the chat room here. Any help is appreciated. VVV

Not so much that by usually well laid out Bases with good work shops. Nice living quarters, close to bigger cities. Nothing like Petawawa, Shilo, Gagetown or Wainwright. As soon as you can, after training courses and first posting is done, get yourself invovled with the Base sports programs...

Jonsey and Pte Smiley were right about the training with regards to timings, sports, inspections and eyes glasses/contacts. Golf is quite popular within the C.F. but it is not played to the level that hockey, soccer and softball are. The sports in the C.F. are important for units (bragging...

You won‘t have to worry about the food at Borden. Most troops who have the luck to train there find that they have the best grub amongst the Forces. I think the cooks have their training there. At any rate the food is good and there is alot of it. I‘m not sure why Army training is usually...

I can‘t believe I fell for it. I‘m such a sucker sometimes. But mostly my mother didn‘t raise a fool. I should have recognized that.

Hey Mike Dorosh, What did you mean by saying we don‘t talk about war here?

I quickly browsed the site (during commercials of a well made CBC docudrama of course). Very good so far. I looked at a few of the clips from the Somme. Thanks

I really gotta make those shorter.

Bert, First of all I‘d like to thank you for reading and truly getting many of my thoughts and meanings from what I wrote. You noticed something in my statement that I‘ve always tried to keep low key in my profession and life. You mentionned if I was suggesting that they shouldn‘t have been...

Thanks Scarlino.

Re: Armymedic I think there is very little we can do. Since right now Canada has been fixated on our new PM-to-be and the possibility of changes once he takes office, and the old one leaving behind his legacy. Then there was the fires in B.C. There is the Kobe Bryant trial. Oh yeah who can...

I was on the phone a little while ago with a friend working in TO (during working hours of course) and we were talking about the subject and it‘s meaning. He was asking if I knew the significance of it and the tassles. I told him that it was for carrying casualties off the battlefield till the...

I have always felt that it is so hard to really know the general feelings and mindset of a group of people if you only get information second or third hand. There are many Albertans I‘ve met who get most of their knowlegde of Quebecois through the media (with all of it‘s hang ups and political...

Oh yeah right. I sometimes don‘t think outside the Land forces. Thanks

As far as I know sidearms are issued to key positions. MP‘s, Officers and Snr NCO‘s etc. So I can guess that the same applies to Reserves. They require training on all weapons as well. As for what kind of OG kit required, I think that all of it is issued to you once you have a place there. Or am...

It seems kinda funny I thought. Or I am just too hard bitten, Spr Earl? lol
