I don‘t know. Does a "security firm" count? This is a private company, I wonder if they list under hotjobs.ca ;)

http://www.army.dnd.ca/GGFG/index_e.asp The DND updated their site for the Guards, has some good recruiting information.

Sgt Gagnon won the Queen‘s Medal for top shot (Reservist) in August at Connaught.

The new cold weather socks are made in Norway while the liner and wet weather ones are made in Toronto.

I‘m almost finished my BMQ to join the Guards so I can only answer a few of your questions. Regular parade nights are on Tuesday. Advanced courses are available. If you are interested you can also go Ceremonial Guard in the summer where you wear the bearskin hats and scarlet tunics. I...

I would imagine water inside the boot is not a huge problem so long as they are left to air dry. Just like sweating in them. If Gas was poured over them then I would definately draw new ones. Does anyone else think the new boots not only not have much traction on snow but in fact have a...

My prof for one of my history courses wrote a good rebuttal for Granatstein. I‘m sure it‘s still a good book, but don‘t take anything as gospel that‘s written in those things. One thing I‘ve learned studying history ;)

I‘m currently on BMQ there. There are portable type shacks we stay in that are to be honest, pretty crappy. Two people to a room in there. I‘m not sure what type of facilities the Cadets get, I think they stay in tent like shelters with a few portables thrown in. I‘ve only gone through their...

foreign medals go on the right (your left if your wearing them), after Canadian decorations

It‘s 20 days, if it was 4 weekends I would have been finished it awhile ago. I was handling weapons by the 2nd weekend. However that was because we had to go to Petawawa early in the course to get qualified so I guess that made us a bit different.

The videos explain why they call it a joint task force and all that. Pretty interesting if you have no idea what they are about.

I was in cadets before joining the reserves (I know it‘s not the same level but somewhat similar). I was busted while adjusting my DEU belt to fit fit the brass end to match up with the clasp before being shown how to do it. It‘s hard to stay in the grey area, but I think as long as your not...

A CIC Officer should know enough to tell that cadet he doesn‘t have rank on anyone but cadets. I was in Air Cadets so I can‘t say much for the Army side but I found it to be very practical. I think there is less of the wannabes as Air Cadets doesn‘t have much of the military side outside of...

A lot of that stuff can be answered on their website. Look for it off the DND page.

There may be debate over whether or not gun control is working, but unless it personally bails me out of a jam and comes with bloody cupholders there‘s no way you can convince me it was worth 2 BILLION dollars! Imagine that kind of money going into defence spending! I don‘t know if Steven...

I saw this skit when it was first aired and thought it was hilarious. Maybe some of the individuals who were the brunt of the joke might take offense ‘cause it‘s a personal attack, but I see no reason for the Quebec people in general to be up in arms about it. I haven‘t heard of any sort of...

Think of it this way. I‘m on BMQ and a buddy of mine got jacked up for misplacing his gas mask (turned out it was with his kit, go figure). Anyways, the MCpl instructing us had him do a lot more than 19 pushups! I don‘t want to be the one who tells him "But MCpl I can‘t do 35, I only had to...

I wonder if it‘s another rotation, or some Vandoos get to stay.

Thanks for the replies, that definately helps. They posted a list of courses at my regiment (GGFG) and told me I‘d be doing SQ and BIQ and I couldn‘t find BIQ (I figured it was DP1 Infantry). Your input helps, lets me know what type of courses I‘ll hopefully be on in the coming summer and...

I‘m wondering what courses are available for a Reserve Infantryman. I‘m currently on BMQ and I‘m wondering what I‘ll be doing after. (SQ, etc). Is there a list of courses out there? I‘ve tried searching on the DND site with no luck. Any help is appreciated.
