I think the now ex-AHS staffer made the correct, if unpopular, call. Imagine the disruption in line if a local celebrity like Iginla was there? What about the personal security risk to him and his family once word got out to the media that Iginla, Kiprusoff, or Phaneuf would be standing in line...

"So sorry we couldn't stop your village from being ethnically cleansed, we were to busy organizing a peace summit." You can't hug a child with Combat Arms, but you sure as f*** can use them to stop that child from being hacked apart with a machete.

The Maple Leaf is pretty typical of internal newsletters that one would find in a major corporation. The value of internal newsletters is they allow the corporate body to share information and experiences that may not be otherwise available to geographically/departmentally dispersed staff. My...

I'd love to see the Powers That Be make Mike Holmes an honourary Sapper.

Why would you waste a perfectly good source of bacon on a Taliban?

I'm sure the MSEOP's are relieved they won't have to add LLVD - Light Logistics Vehicle Donkey to their 404's.

As a general rule you should be putting between 5-10% of your gross income (that's income before deductions) into retirement savings. On top of that you should strive to put an equal amount into regular savings. Life happens, and not everyone can fulfill, but it is a good goal. Good resources...

I think this is an initiative that could be sustainable over the long term if the Conservatives and Liberals can all agree that a viable ship building industry is something Canada needs. If the ship yards can be guaranteed x many ships over y many years they can plan to create z many full time...

Denmark also has a fairly healthy ship building industry based around the Odense shipyard.

A Carl G, in the training area, on Ex. My section was providing security to another section that was clearing an obstacle when we got bumped by the Phantasian Hordes (read the Adj with 30 blank rounds and an arty sim.) During the counter attack I looked over to see one of the new privates in my...

Just don't take a lighter to all those loose threads.

Being in the CF does not make one right wing, left wing, libertarian, or totalitarian. If anything, being in the CF will probably bring your views closer to the center of the political spectrum. You should be asking yourself, maybe you already have, what aspects of service appeal to you? What...

Thank you Xena, that was the sort of response I was hoping for.

Hello, Can someone describe for me what duties a ResF RMS CLK does when their unit is in on Ex.? I realize that I'm making the assumption the RMS CLK's actually get to go into the field instead of settling in at the armoury for a weekend of photocopier drill.

Book an appointment with an audiologist. If you have a tube in your ear after two years you probably need a follow-on appointment anyways. If your hearing is damaged an audiologist will also help you with a treatment or prevention plan to maintain your hearing.

Probably time for a thread split. I agree in principle that detachments in some of the smaller cities in Alberta would be a good thing. I'm told that the reserve units in Calgary (Calgary Highlanders, King's Own Calgary Regiment, 41 CER, 14 SVC, HMCS Techumseh, 746 Communications) are having...
