    World War 3 Timeline

    The four moosemen of the apocalypse? But, but...  there's no mention of the zombie hoards...  and we all know THAT's gonna happen! Oh yeah... "All hail, Technoviking", blah, blah, blah.

    BGen Ménard relieved of Afganistan Comd & other fall-outs

    For what it's worth Mr Campbell, I heartily agree with your assesment.

    Heroes (almost) mugged.

    Oh, yeah, made me smile too, and I felt all good about it.  Kinda wished it did happen, 'cause that'd be something to see - a guy in a wheelchair giving a yob a good shoeing.  ;D Actually, being as hard as nails as he is (IMHO) he probably could.  :salute:

    The Reserve Thread- A Merged Collection of Q & A's

    Best thing to do would be to speak to Recruiting personnel in your local Reserve unit. Pretty much the same as Non-Commissioned.  You'd need to get through the Recuiting process, get enrolled, and then pass the required courses (Basic, Phase 1, Phase 2, etc.). I don't know about nowadays...

    Thinking About Joinging The RHLI Army Reserves

    Wring your neck in a bit.  Look at Occam's profile and see how much time he has in, and re-think your reply. And yes, I think a Sgt (even a cadet one) should know better.

    Heroes (almost) mugged.

    It's been discussed (and dismissed) on the other side of the Atlantic already. http://www.arrse.co.uk/naafi-bar/152784-chavs-picked-wrong-people.html

    Canadian Logistic Corps?

    Yeah, the lack of Corps or Branch pride may have something to do with the overwhelming diversity.  I remember when the Admin Clerks were absorbed into the Borg Logistics Branch.  I didn't feel good about it. I understand that there were very good reasons for it, but it nonetheless did kill a...

    Heroes (almost) mugged.

    Would make a great story if true. Major Peter Norton is in a wheelchair. And, why on earth would they attend a reception at Buckingham Palace in civilian attire, while wearing medals? The UK Sun newspaper is a serious tabloid, up there with the journalistic greats of the National Enquirer and...

    Vancouver’s Remembrance day

    I missed it all.  I blew my back out getting out of bed yesterday morning (yeah, yeah, I'm not a spring chicken anymore, I know...).  I didn't get to the Cenotaph, Armoury or anything...  :(

    Eddie Bauer Rememberance Day Sale - enraging bad taste or so-what?

    I don't like it. But then, take into consideration the fact that I don't like most holiday sales, and the idea of stores being open on Holidays and Sundays in general.  I'm just a curmudgeon, I guess...

    Commissionaires, CF Announce "Return To Work Program For Wounded CF Personnel"

    I know many members of the Corps in British Columbia, and many (or most!) have no military or police experience at all.  Quite sad really. It was the quality of personnel that came from military and policing backgrounds that gave the Corps it's advantage above it's competitors.  Now we're just...

    When can poppies be worn daily?

    I got out in 2000, but unless it's changed, you can start wearing a poppy in uniform on 28 Oct - two weeks prior to Remembrance Day. It is (was) in the Dress Regs.

    Caution! Moderators know better, so don't mention it.

    Sidearms for Officers? Some questions.

    Faustus, Some of the folks here were already serving in the military while you were still filling diapers. Wring your neck in about "concepts" you think "they'd understand."

    Sidearms for Officers? Some questions.

    ...not as tough as Cornwallis was. Just MHO, of course... But, considering the attitude you're throwing around, I think you may find it harder than you think.  The staff just LOVE guys with attitude...
