840.million for 4 Oilers vs $2.6 Billion for two. Hmm let me do the math, twice as many ships and save how much? And how much are the Mistrals going for again? Yup this one is a no brainer, someone want to send this to the new Finance Minister. Yes we'd have to figure out the Helios and the...

Well Candy may not have been the appropriate choice of words, the kids earned them and are rightly proud of what they did to obtian that little ribbon, I concur there are a lot more medals available to the Cadet organization these days then when I left 38 odd years ago and I don't see that as a...

About halfway through Bugles and a Tiger: My Life in the Gurkhas by John Masters http://www.amazon.com/Bugles-Tiger-Gurkhas-Military-Paperbacks/dp/0304361569 I read [i]The Road Past Mandalay years ago which covers his experiences in the old Indian Army in Iraq, Syria and Iran and then as a...

It is within the realm of possibility some grunt in the 101st did Ranger School, EOD, and deployed to Iraq long enough to earn his CIB. Something tells me though that while there may be a few guys wandering around Fort Campbell dressed like that, this guy was never one of them.  8) Edit for typos

The quality of the video isn't good (cell phone I'm guessing) but I take it the offecnce was th Walt was wearing a Ranger Tab and/or Ranger Scroll. I guess one could make an argument that they are "decorations" in that they are akin to hazard badges. I think he also mentioned the WALT had a CIB...

There is a second video on FB now showing the confrontation with the cops

Last time I was ARSO on an 84mm range was Gagetown 1988 or 1989. The number of rounds doin range (60+/-)sounds about right as was the screaming headache from the multiple explosions. As an added bonus there a fair number of misfires that day and always with the newbies  and numpties every unit...

Someone check the serial number on it. We might have finally found the missing GGFG one.  ;D

Excellent thanks, I think I can use this for some individuals. Owe you a beer or six next time I'm up your way

Same here, even went to try and get Poppy funds to pay for the cleaning, court mounting etc for some of the older guys on fixed incomes. Apparently this is not an appropriate usage of Poppy funds, and I know I could get a local guy who mounts medals to do it for cost to.

That's actually quite common among some of the older RCL types I've come across. They probably retired long before the CPSM came out and many had/have no idea they're entitled to it.

Especially when the bun fight about what units can claim to be awarded the Battle Honours.  ::)

See above, this is all part of Disneyland on the Rideau's master plan to make your transit from military to civilian employment easier.  8)

What no Second Ypres Pin (1915) No Battle of the Somme Pin (1916) No 100 Days Pin (1918) :worms:

Good training for that post army career as a Walmart greeter and/or RCL member.

The squaddies over at Arrse have given this their due consideration it seems.  8) http://www.arrse.co.uk/community/threads/gen-cowans-edict-a-reply.211041/

Jed I think JM just volunteered to join and help you. All his bling would look smashing on a Navy Blazer  :stirpot:

Finally got around to viewing this clip and couldn't agree more. Absolute gong show even before the PSAC shill started. ::) Good luck with that. You're right but only have to undo about 50 years of neglect on behalf of the RCL (deliberate or not)  and get the "new guys" onboard before the...
