Im interested to know if the names and locations of all our old Tactical Infrastructure (ie FOB's, SP's, COP's, PB's) as well as the name of the routes in Kanadahar fall under any classification? Id imagine that the location of most of our TI must have been well known be the locas. Kinda hard...

This part seemed to imply it. I dont know a lot about survey but they seem to deploy on short notice for many things. Lots of Canada taskings surveying bases. I think they do some arctic related survey as well. I know in Afghanistan they were employed to survey part of KAF. To what capacity...

If you are scared of being in combat dont join. While there is no reason a GeoTech should ever be anywhere near the frontline, at the end of the day you are expected to carry a rifle and do what needs to be done. As well, I feel that this trade is better served by people who have been there and...

Any work that is done in austere locations is going to pay well. From what I have seen the CF pays the same or higher for the layman when it comes to GIS. And you are also forgetting the other benefits. Not many companies that will provide you 6 weeks of paid vacation, Medical dental and the...

I dont know what the quote is this year for the Geomatics course, but they are substantially smaller. And they seem to be going almost 90% with Occupational Transfers. As for the pay; I would argue unless you have a degree in Geography, with a minor in Geomatics, and you have several years in...

It's Euchre night, common man.

Looks interesting, but the quality is impossible to read. Is there a link or can you upload a higher res image? Thanks.

We have a system called WES, Weapons Effect Simulator. It is an all encompassing system that allows every soldier to have a WES kit all the way up to every vehicle. As well Arty, mines, IEDs, can all be simulated. Basically a computer generates a result, and anyone in that area is affected by...

And since you cant prove who the OP is, it's a moot point.

I was under the impression that you could appeal a Summary Trial conviction, and that if you did it would usually go to a higher authority who had more powers of punishment. Thus the incentive to appeal was usually pretty small. Is this right or?

Can you build upon this part? When you say refuse your request are you talking exclusively about the right to go to Sick parade for medical treatment? Or are you talking about in the middle of the day you suddenly realize you need to book your 4th dental cleaning in 3 months? I feel there is a...

Cant believe what kind of supervisor would pass on this kinda of garbage. Not much of a leader if you dont stand up for the welfare of your own troops. And how can anyone possibly imagine they can enforce this. If you attempt to apply administrative action its going to get grieved. If you...

This seems to be the only LDA thread remaining so Ill ask this here. Do personnel posted to 450 Sqn receive LDA? Thanks.

While opinions may very on how good of a Recce vehicle the Coyote was, for all intents and purposes it is a Recce vehicle.

The first major difference between XRay and Thermal (Heat detector) is their position on the ElectroMagnetic Spectrum. XRays are to the left of Visible light and Thermal is on the right side of Visible light in the Spectrum. The wave of an XRay are smaller than Visible light, and Thermal waves...

No it doesnt. The cost of living is reasonable in Petawawa.

This morning on my way to NDHQ I stopped by the National War Memorial to pay my respects. It was very moving to see the support from the Canadian Public. But I was also moved by something I wasn't expecting. A retired US Marine was patrolling the War Memorial in his Full Uniform at 0700 this...

I dont have any references for you other than my own personal experiences. But on my QL3/QL5, two of my course mates both were receiving IR while on course for different reasons. I don't know the specifics, but they both had IR for around 6 months. One was AVOTP, the other was a component...

A 40mm cannon would have a higher rate of fire, higher penetration, better distance, more accuracy and a more varied type of ammunition. For example a 40mm cannon can shoot APFSDS (Armour Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot) Rounds which could penetrate many armour types. It could also...
