I first fired the C1 when I was 13, in Army Cadets. Personally I don‘t see what all the complaining was about with the recoil. I‘d heard all the horror stories and was prepared for the worst but was actually disapointed... And yes, I did fire quite a lot of rounds in my time. I‘ve never...

After serving for a year in a hard para position the member can get the same Airborne coin from the ARAC. The coy CSM sends the president a copy of the nominal roll indicating those who qualify. All "after regiment" coins #‘s are preceded by "AR" and start at 10000. For example, "AR10214"

When the 3rd Battalions (LIBS) stood up in 96‘, the manning was only to include 3 rifle coys. The other reg force BN‘s downsized to 3 rifle coys shortly after that, I think the last one was "disbanded" in 98‘.

Not issue yet but maybe in the near future!

N coy is the designated airmoble/hel-ops company. O coy is the BV-206 company. There is no "P" coy. All the battalions lost their 4th rifle coy. 1RCR lost D coy after ROTO 2 in Bosnia...

It‘s true, no real difference except a preference in location. The R22er has the most members at present with the RCR not far behind. The PPCLI are low on people so they‘re the one‘s the are really hiring at the moment. We keep on sending guys west on re-badges to the PPCLI for personal...

Have you ever tried to change a barrel on the MG-3, it‘s pretty crazy. The quick change on the C6 is much better, faster, and safer!

The 3 RCR Para Coy takes the place of Mike Company but is not designated as such. The RCR Para Coy is unique in naming as 3VP and 3R22R‘s Para companys are their Alpha company.

Pay is deposited @ the beginning of the working day at the bank. The pay days are the 15th and the last day of the month. If the day falls on a weekend, you will be paid on the Friday.

Things sure have evolved over the years. In the beginning on the dragon server the "War Diary" was really nothing more than a guest book. Now it seems as it has made itself the main attraction of the Canadian Army Homepage. So much so that most usually only refer to the site as the "War...

Hey, you know it‘s not always in a bay where you throw a grenade. Ever post a grenade in a trench on a live fire ex? I have on quite a few occasions, however it wouldn‘t be easy to steal a grenade even in these circumstances. Who would really want to anyway, you‘re just asking for trouble...

But then again it‘s technically called the IPE bag. IPE for Individual Protective Equipment(read NBCD)

The first icon is the CDN Army symbol. #2 icon is the symbol for Artillery. #3 icon is the symbol for Armour. #4 icon is the symbol for Infantry. #5 icon is the symbol for Engineer.

When I checked with my buddies in 3VP, Gatorade was one of the things that helped a lot due to the crazy heat! Hey, If someone wants to send me stuff I‘m not against it. Just PM or e-mail me and I‘ll send you the address.

If you get into the infantry you will handle every weapon that the CF has to offer...eventually. This will include many foreign weapons. The longer that you stay in, the more that you will be exposed to.

NSE = Never Stop Eating...

MEMORANDUM File # Date To whom WHAT THE MEMO IS ABOUT 1. Short, concise, to the point. a. Sub-para if app. b. Another? 2. Another thing... 3. Maybe one more? 4. Final action. If you were to add something like a regimental motto it would not be #‘d Skip 7 spaces from last...

They tortured him to death(THOSE INDV RESP) but they did not "display him as a trophy" They took some very inappropriate pictures, but then again, the whole incident was inappropriate. The drug that the Airborne Regiment used was Lariam. Also known as Mefloquine. Possible side effects...

I F‘n hate the smokers in the back of carriers and ML‘s. I‘d like to put the smoke out in their eye then kick their *** out the back! One of my biggest pet peevs. I would laugh for the rest of my career if that "policy" came true. I certainly wouldn‘t have the slightist bit of sympathy! HA

Sorry, 408 doesn‘t have any Chinooks. The CF didn‘t think they were any good and got rid of them many moons ago... A person in a "Hard Para Position" must jump at least once every 90 days or he must do a refresher, which is technically better then a jump because you have to practice all of your...
