Hey Guest.. thats sounds great! So right after your PCF training and posting you began pre-deployment training? Its great to hear that Armoured is a busy trade, gets me more and more anxious to apply, I just have to finish these last 2 weeks of courses  :-\ It's sad to hear that VR's are going...

Thanks Red_Five, The dual-qualification sounds very reasonable especially for deployment allowing one to fulfill multiple roles, as well as having 1yr Time in in regiment before deploying. Thanks for shedding some light on length of training. For the Gunner and Surv Op courses, they are ran by...

Thanks Quag! I did screw up that term employable, I was under the impression it meant deployable as well in CF terms, So it appears that once completed the first Driver course, or the course after SQ you are qualified as an armoured soldier and placed at a unit, that if called upon, you are...

LOL No worries. I'm just lost, that the media is already calling Canada, United Canada. But essentially, this "nation" is only symbolic... If the Quebecois can be identified as a "nation", what about others such as Aboriginals? I am at least 14hrs away from parliament hill and i am getting a...

Dang this thread is just like them black snake fireworks,( if you can even call them fireworks.) Add a little flame and the thing grows bigger by the minute and fun to watch, well in this case read  :P 

The CADPAT found in most shops or Frontenac's as they are becoming known as seem to have quite a few differences, I believe upon closer look they colours are not exactly that of CF CADPAT as well the size of the pixels differ, and instead of the epaulet being located on the chest there are two...
