The PPCLI Retired Senior NCO Club publishes, "The Picklie Post."  As a Picklie, I have no problem with the title or the singing of the Mickey Mouse Club song.

Seconded, well done MCpl Valigini.

If you call driving around for endless hours in an AVGP and spending 6 weeks a summer doing drill on 1 RCR's parade square in London the same as parachuting, US and British Army exchanges, submarine operations, PPF course......then I guess you're right.

George, Roger, I was one of those....although looking at the Regiment from the inside looking out.  I believe we were our own worst enemy.  We strongly believed that we were the best thing since sliced bread and told everyone that.  We alienated ourselves from the rest of the army and when we...

Was The CAR where people with discipline problems were sent? No really.  This has be alluded to several times.  Sure, we had some bad guys, but people forget that these guys came to The CAR from the established infantry regiments and support arms.  The CAR did not create these problems.  The...

If you know guys who are Vol Paramedics and FF, use the same ref.  The bit I put in was RCMP policy, not CF.

I was the Aux Co ordinator at the local detachment.  At that time, there was a a list of persons who could not be employed as Auxiliary Cst, that list included members of the CF. The CF isn't worried about the cost if you get injured, they are worried about your not being able to contribute to...

Jim, What exactly are you referring to with "18 years ago?"

The "inside/outside the wire" and "you haven't been to Afghanistan" talk will continue.  This talk goes on in the US and UK militaries and was a highlighted theme in the book, "War."  I have to agree with Sythen, the people with the hardest stories about Afghanistan are those who did the least...

Unfortunately, they are Jim's troops. 

Roger, the branches rangling for their own version of the CIB ended when the CAB was announced.

It is a little ironic that he is wearing a CAB when he was the CDS that cancelled the Cdn CAI.  The CAI was such a hot topic, people either loved the idea or hated it.  In the end, we are not a military that believes one trade is more deserving then another.  Many groups within the US Army over...

Maybe he is wearing a US Army CAB because he secretly wants to have a Combat Action Insignia in gold, but then again, he trashed that idea.

A friend of mine just re-joined and completed CAP at the ripe old age of 47 yrs old. 

Great advice from Noneck.  By all means, keep your CoC informed of the process and your next step.  Keep in mind that most failures thru the RCMP recruiting system come from the polygraph.  Be honest, they will ask you about anythng they feel needs clarified BEFORE the poly. As for the 30 day...

Small Fastex buckle works really well.

DAPaterson, You mean that Inactive Sup Res time qualifies for the Severence buyout? Thanks.

When I was in 1 RCR, we had a MCpl who used to be in the USMC.  He swore to anyone that would listen that he shot the first nuclear bullet and that it "took the top clear off that hill." He was serious.
