I currently have a 15" laptop and play similar games. Didn't really notice a difference between the 15" and 17". There are lots of 15" models out there that will suit your needs. I actually use a mac with windows on it. Runs faster then any PC I've owned. Taking a quick look at dell's site and...

A couple things. First thing I'd ask is do you plan to carry the laptop around much? If so, a 17" screen adds quite a bit of weight and trying to find bags for them is a bit more difficult. The other thing I'd ask is how much do you plan to game? While the computer appears to meet the...

Came across this gem today. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/9027394/France-plans-Napoleonland.html "Other curious potential attractions include a ski run through a battlefield "surrounded by the frozen bodies of soldiers and horses" and a recreation of Louis XVI being...

It's only supposed to be worn with cadet slip-ons. Unfortunately that regulation is not enforced as strictly as is should be.

If that's what it takes to get army cadets issued combats, I can live with it.  :P

No idea on any timeline for the new uniforms. Just a lot of rumor and speculation. What I do know is that they have been issued at all the army cadet camps across Canada and they have the Cadets Canada logo embroidered on them. That leads me to think that these are more official then the CADETPAT.

These uniforms have been used at Vernon for a couple summers now so they're not looking brand new anymore.

The picture I posted is the solution to the OG107 running out. These are brand new uniforms, not revamped old OG's. The quality seems comparable to CADPAT and is far quicker drying then the CADETPAT. It also has the added bonus of not making the cadets look like US Marines.

There are combats that have been issued to the CSTC's to replace the old OG107 uniforms. These new uniforms are olive drab with the rank slide in the front and the buttons exposed. Similar to the first version of CADPAT. They have the cadets Canada logo on the left pocket of both the shirt and...

ACU is the actual uniform (whether it be multicam, UCP, or another pattern) The camouflage may change but it is still the Army Combat Uniform. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Camouflage_Pattern http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Combat_Uniform

The only time you need to be "yelling" is to make your self heard across distance or over noise. I have found when dealing with an issue a low quite voice is far more effective than yelling. If a cadet is stiring up trouble, it's often because they are not being engaged or challenged, so they...

Regiment/Regiment Company/Squadron Platoon/Troop Section/Section Also, there is a Squadron Sergeant-Major instead of a Company Sergeant-Major.

That regulation came in January 2010. It isn't a cadet regulation, it's a CF one.

The scuttlebutt I've heard is that the leather was changed on the newer oxfords making them harder to shine and they don't keep a shine as well. I've never had a problem shining my boots/shoes until I ran into CF oxfords. I just can't keep a good shine on them for even a day.

It wasn't used because there were not enough cadets on base to justify its use. It was used as the quarantine last year and companies had cadets that would "disappear" and no one would know exactly where the cadet was (HQ in the coy did). That is where the ghost stories came from. Before this...

No. CIC officers are commissioned officers in the CF. You can't be an NCM and an officer at the same time.

The emergency medical responder course offered by the JIBC is a three week course and you can work as a level 1 paramedic in BC with it. So it might be a bit expensive (cost me $1400) but it would be doable.

What was CL Marksman, is now a third year course, equal to CLI. The new Basic Marksman course is now what was CL. General Training is now the first summer course and there is no specialization the first summer. It would have been nice if the name basic was removed to avoid confusion with the old...

I've had the pleasure to see him speak twice. Once I paid and the other he came to my school. Both times were well worth it and I highly recommend seeing him if you have the chance. Especially cause he's one of your hero's, you should go.  :nod:

When I got my VSS done to be a Civilian Volunteer, the local detachment (RCMP) asked me to come down to pick it up. It wasn't in a sealed envelope or anything. It would have been very easy to make "corrections" if there was anything I disagreed with. Not saying that's what happened here, but it...
