    Travelling as a reservist?

    I agree with the rest of these guys... When traveling to NATO countries the CF ID has been a handy thing to keep around... Especially when crossing the border... I'm not one to pull it out and flash it right away but if I run into a border guard who is questioning our credentials it does...

    Steven Staples & Company

    Ugh.... I'm going to take the position with Mr Staples that if you cant say anything nice, dont say anything... As such, were it possible to have less then nothing to say about him I would.

    3 years for sex assaults of girl cadets

    I'm sure there could be someone who might be able Try to argue that it may help with the grief process...  That being said, I'm not in that Camp....  Let her deal with the demons in a private manner.

    Cpl Wilcox court martial - Sydney NS

    :+1: Lousy way to Start my roto.... Good riddance to Wilcox though... Anyone who can claim they were all torn up about killing their "Best Friend" and then claims "Self Defence" is utterly unfit to wear the uniform of a CF Member.

    3 years for sex assaults of girl cadets

    No, I'm expressing frustration with a society that continues to waste taxpayer dollars on Feral creatures such as this...  And quite frankly I could care less about occupying moral high ground at this point. I certainly wont loose any sleep if he were to suffer some sort of unfortunate happening...

    What a Dirtbag..... Hope this PoS makes some nice new "Friends" in Prison....  Maybe somone can do the same thing to him....

    A Question I Must Ask ...

    Just walk in.... It's on the Second floor of the Government Building on Bay St, Across from Copps.... Tell them you are interested in Joining the CF, give them all the details you have given us, and they should be able to tell you exactly what you need to do, say, write, etc... as far as...

    Quitting CF for civ.police

    Hence why after my second deferral from a Police Service I have put in a CT....... Though I am getting the feeling that It's not going to go very far as the CF seems to be trying to cut numbers, rather then bring in new people... Plus I'm also doing an OT.... Oh well... we shall see...  I did...

    Ballistic Vests on Paramedics?

    I have a few friends on with Hamilton, and some feel similar to what is stated earlier about the risk of looking similar to the Police, going into the same kind of "Hot calls" etc... as well as the potential for things to go sideways.... I dont know if an external carrier (aka outside vest)...

    Improved Combat Uniform

    Each pair is inspected by the General in charge of procurement, and he even personally signs the "Inspected By:" slip that falls out of the boot when we get it.... Really though... 180 days??? My SWATS last longer then that! (Even the ones I had overseas!) If they are actually working out to...

    Queen's Diamond Jubilee Super Thread

    Thinking up ways to weasel a QDJM out of someone so we can make our Chest racks look bigger......  ;D Seriously though, Now that I have a GCS, and a CD on my chest I wouldn't have a problem wearing one of the "gimmie" medals like the Diamond Jubilee, but I also would make no bones about what it...

    Packing a Ruck

    I just use the same music on my Shuffle that I do for going to the Gym... High energy motivational stuff... BFT's get pretty boring otherwise....  Sure it can be done without... But a little music does make it a bit better....

    Quitting CF for civ.police

    I've heard that about everything, except most of the people who made the jump from little r to big R.... not too many of them look back with regret... Ultimately they ended up going from a job to a career though... so it really was a move forward....

    Facebook Rants

    To be honest the changes dont really bother me much..... And I'm a pretty active user.... I also have a google plus account... because I have Gmail i guess.... So far it doesn't do anything for me... I also have no interest in getting all up in with ANOTHER social networking site... I already...

    An Awkward Question

    Ballsy Question.... I give you major props for coming out here and putting on the line... That, in my opinion says a lot of your character. Now keep in mind that Cold Sores are part of the Herpes family.... and are also one of the most easily spread STI's on the planet....  I cant see...

    Challenger/"VIP" Jet/CF Chopper Use (CDS, others) [merged]

    Wow... As soon as the Mission changes, (Or "Ends" as the media like to say...)  The knives come out, and public opinion changes.... I hope we dont have "Decade of Darkness part II" looming in the near future... My take; This is a pathetic non-event news story and a baseless smear...

    Legal Status of ASP Batons

    as previously stated, you can buy "Collapsible" ASP style batons at many gun and army surplus stores... Buying an actual ASP or Monadnock brand baton is much trickier as most stores that sell them here in the GTA such as R. Nicholls or MD Charlton will not sell one to you unless you are a Law...

    C7 replacement

    The "B" Veh crews could use em just as much.... I had a hell of a time trying to get my C7A2 in and out of an HLVW when I was over there... When I did have a C8 on Swamper duties I found it to be a lot easier to use in, out, and around the vehicle, and would take it over a pistol any day.... I...
