    Mess etiquette

    It isn't in any regulations I've seen, but you do not put your headdress on any table within the mess nor carry around in the mess. The RSM will likely tell what to do with the beret if found on a mess table. There is usually a place to put headdress upon entering.

    The Erosion of Etiquette?

    Lets not confuse the two. Now a  days, there is a difference between a mess and a dining hall. Officers and NCO Messes have dress standards.  Dining hall and JR have looser standards but still have standards.   For those who feel  that the standards are archaic and should be loosen up are...

    Artillery Day

    But all gunners, serving or retired, I wish all a Happy Artillery Day, 26 May. We celebrate Artillery Day because: Artillery Day is the 26th of May each year. On that day in 1716, King George I issued a Royal Warrant forming the first regular artillery force in Britain. The Royal Regiment of...

    Lynndie England - Patriot or Torturer: What do you think?

    "If you going to do something that violates international law, don‘t take pictures" interesting spin - If you murder someone and nobody sees, is it a murder, hmmmm. "Now people in the middle east are going to hate america" - I guess they were just tolerated before Think before you type...

    I made the comment just to get a rise and see what direction you were coming from. I can fully understand your disappointment, and if this is what you want, then leave no stone unturned and do everything in your power to make it happen. There is someone out there who can give you an answer...

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    The descion is ultimaly yours, but may I ask what the problem with Artillery is. not sexy enough? The Arillery is one of the more technically challanging trades, and the aptitude required is one of the highest in Land Forces. The team work and expertise to put a round on the ground at the right...

    CENSORSHIP AT TRAVIS A.F.B.?

    The reason I equated the two was because the sense of negativity each brings. They dig for the dirt, put their spin on it and let it go. If looking at the site in isolation, you get the feeling that no General/Colonel can be trusted and the little guy is getting screwed. I don‘t think its news...

    Reserves - Kit

    I will vouch for CTD because we have served together in WATC Firing Troop last year. I'll even forgive him for going Air Force. If the bullshit I hear on here is indicative of the 48 Highlanders, there‘s a Regt you might want to avoid. You are arrogant without the experience. (This does not...

    Vets must pay for D-Day trip

    And the solution would be?? VAC decided to send a representative of each unit involved with the landings. The altnative I guess would be send 2 or 3 but where do you draw the line, beacuse I think everyone agrees Canada cannot afford to send them all. As to the 70 support staff, a lot will...

    CENSORSHIP AT TRAVIS A.F.B.?

    I‘m guessing that anybody yelling/interupting a Base Commander while talking to the press should expect something to happen. as for MilitaryCorruption.com. They are alot like Scott Taylor but more pit bullish. In Canada, some comments made against individuals might be considered slander.

    Cadpat for BMQ?

    You are suppose to trade in your combats for CADPAT, so if you have them, that is what you wear. So if you have them, you are not expected to have combats. The policy is you must be MOC trg to get CADPAT, but doesn‘t seem to be hard and fast, even for the Reg F. There are some BIQ candidates...

    For anyone who has see the differece between a 105 and 155, its a no brainer. And any grunt worth his salt wouldn‘t ask for second best.

    C3 to the Regs

    As far as I know, all the C1 are gone and probably at Longe Pointe. If memory serves me it took a 1 to 1 1/2 yr to get the C3s but I don‘t remember being without. Some units probaly did better then others, but being without for a year wouldn‘t be a strtech

    C3 to the Regs

    Not all C1 were converted to C3 so I am not sure how many C3 are out there. My guess is most are at reserve units. So if the RCHA are getting them to replace the M109 (appox 2 bty/3 regt x 6/bty = 36 guns)the question to ask where are they coming from. But then again all this is stricly rumour...

    Quality Differences amongst Units, re: Equipment

    M203 are not on the scale of issue to artillery units, beacuse there are not enough to go around. I imagine that appliesto the Recce and Engineers also. As to radios, we just received the 522 just recently, although we had the 521 before. We were using the old systems up to then. Its just lag...
