I know that I have been a reservist most of my 20 years and may be missing the bigger picture that the NDP have of the world. So the Forces should not plan for an extension of the Afghanistan mission until Parliament has its say on an extension . OK BUT how is the government of the day going to...

Thank you Reccesoldier for your info! Geo I was asking not for myself but for Aussiechangeover!  As I stated in my earlier post I have my VRSM and the 2 clasps! I was asking if Aussiechangeover had a Long service medal . If not could he use his service towards a CD!

Looking at your list of medals! Do you have a long service medal? I served ten years in the CF Reserves and now currently am in the TA. Because my CF service was in the reserves when my unit applied for a TA  service medal they were told it was the wrong one they applied for . By counting my...

This rock mural comes from the best place THE HEART! Thanks for posting this  :salute: :salute:

Been reading this post from Scotland with a bit of interest! If you allow me to spend my 2 pence! The TA that go over to Iraq and soon A'stan are not officially volunteers because of the way they are called up. The British Government has used part of the Army Act (1995 I think) to call up...

The voters in the States would have to forget about all the bagage from the past to elected Hillary ! Remember she was not the First Lady but in her words the  Co-President! Every decision her husband's government made she said she had a large part in it!

When I was in Iraq with the British in 2004! The troops were ordered to stop handing out items on the move! The fear was one of the kids would run into the road and get hit by a British vehicle! You got Iraqis asking for water all the time !

Thanks for posting this story! Its a story that some people would not wish to see the light of day because it does not fit in with their  ""its is wrong that NATO is in Afghanistan and their are doing no good" way of thinking! If you look back in the history of the Canada soldier this is the...

Speaking as a current member of the TA (who served in the Canadian reserves) the way that people go on tours have changed since the beginning of the Iraq war! At first two or more people were mobilized for every one post that needed to be filled! 2/3 of the TA soldier past the checks at the...

Just changed mine today! Was using the TAC sign for sigs but that did not fix! Now its the RLC (Royal Logistics Corps) with  crossed signal flags! I am presently in the RLC (V) my trade is rad op and I am at the top of my trade as a RSI (Regimental Signals Instructor)! As for the nickname I...

Maybe its time to think about the Apache crews who flew this mission! Yes they are in an armoured cockpit but it was them who came up with the Idea! They had to Fly straight and at 50 mph because of the commandos strapped to the side ! They had to sit on the ground as the commandos unloaded...

From the 21th of Jan07 issue of THE NEWS OF THE WORLD .... Regimental Sgt Major Colin Hearn 45 who lead the daring raid , told the News of the World "There was no way we were  going to leave Matthew, or anyone else, on that battlefield. "...   The RSM is also quoted "One of the Apache pilots...

Cougarking the Apache crews are Army Air Corps! British army! Rifleman the four who tried the rescue are Commando trained and past the couses and wore the Green Beret and what is wrong with signallers??

The Telly news reports in the UK showed how the bootnecks were strapped to the apache! Not on the wings but on the side by the pilot's cockpit ! There are handrails and this is the offical way of getting downed crews out of danger! The apache crews must have been trained to do this and carry the...

A few years ago a female LCPL in the RLC in the regular British army did a topless spread for page 3 in one of the British newspaper! She was discharged from the army after she was told that if she did the spread she would go ! Well as it turned out she had been offered a modelling contact for...

To get the British QGJM you had to be an active member of the forces or emergency services for five years and in the TA have qualified for 5 bounties out of 6 including that year! I got the British one along with a Telic medal (Iraq 2004) and a VRSM (Volunteer Reserve Service Medal) and 2...

As somebody who has been to Iraq (2004) with the British I have to ask WHAT DRUGS IS THIS PERSON ON???

On the point of the pipes being a weapon of war this goes back to the '45 Raising! Pipers where sent to London to stand trail with other Jacobites because they were with their clans! The legal ruling was made that they was combatants and not musicians because no Highland army has march without...
