Housing(PMQ‘s) isn‘t subsidized. The rent rates are competitive with the surrounding area now because the civies complained too much. If you live in a high rent area like Toronto or Vancouver or somewhere(off base) you do receive a posting differential allowance(PDA, used to be AAA) to help...

My Info may be a little old but it is out of the C7 Pam. I‘ll check the CFAO‘s tommorrow for the badge info, if it‘s there. 40% eh?, that‘s pretty sad. The actual pass mark for the complete PWT III(inf) is 70%+50% on the night suppliment. For OAS the pass is also 70% out of 59 possible...

Being a sapper of course you will be basic demolitions qual. What else are you looking for? EOD in itself is an ammo tech‘s angle. You could do combat diver but it will definitly be later down the road. Basic Para? Units get spots on the course all the time, it‘s usually a competition to...

Sure the pattern is great, it works. The material is crap, it tears too easily. It still fades a lot but that‘s to be expected. The quality of the overall worksmanship is also total garbage. Just like the gortex which comes apart at the seams all the time. This equipment was made just to...

I know, I‘ve seen others wear it also. That doesn‘t make it right though. In dress regs, the only "arm" that is authorized to wear it is the Infantry. Only the Infantry is required to do the PWT III. But if you do the PWT III and you qualify, then I guess it could be a unit‘s call on if you...

A separate PWT does not have to be run at all. The PWT II is the almost the same as the III minus the run-down and the night supp. All you have to do is participate up to this point and you should be good to go. However, doing level III may be a good experience if you‘ve never done it before...

A minor oversight. You have to leave a link/url for us to check out your page.

Since the Canadian issue desert boots are of American origin and manufacture(off the shelf) these new boots are an improvement. The desert boots were just a spin-off of the jungle boots which we also bought from the states. It would be good to have a non-black field boot (not the current...

20/20 Corrected vision! Comms is not a prereq. Must be recommended by immediate superiors, screened and OK‘d by the CO. Must be a reasonable shot, with potential. So many other skills that you MUST develop and perfect. If successful you will either move on to the sniper cell or act as a coy...

Waste of space government and a punish the group mentality. They couldn‘t weed out the few and repair the damage because the "Public" DEMANDED action. However, the majority of the population thought that disbandment was too harsh a verdict. Disbanding the Regiment took the heat off of other...

I completely agree with you Jungle. Now we just need someone up above who can understand and see the sense of the matter. Preferably someone who can do something about it. AIRBORNE!

Of course they do Infantry trg. However being the GGFG, drill does seem to be of a little bit more importance that the average inf unit. I‘m sure that it will be mostly the same as any other res inf unit so don‘t fret.

They‘re testint the durability and the leather‘s retention of the pattern now but I don‘t think that the results will be positive. The "paste" that is used on the boots is the same as the Prospector black paste, only it‘s clear.

If you make it into the JTF2 from tha reserves then you must sign a 3 year basic engagment and therefore become regular force for that time. Of course you could go back to your reserve unit after that engagement, if you really want to....I don‘t know why?

I put a bunch of pics of the Dutchs‘ Gwagons in the photo album last year. Check it out under "Vehicles", yes I took the pics myself.

Of course we don‘t need all the silly little decorations that the Americans have. Some of them have some significant though. The CIB being one of them. The Combat Infantryman Badge There is nothing wrong with this decoration being awarded to the Canadian "Infantiers" who took part in the...

I don‘t think that that‘s the patch that they‘re talking about. The government would never allow that to happen. It would make more sense if the badge in question was the CIB (Combat Infantryman Badge) It would be more plausible to receive this badge/patch because it could be worn under...

If it‘s not broken don‘t fix it. That‘s the bottom line. Things work just fine as they are. Maybe things wouldn‘t change much but then what‘s the point. If it wouldn‘t make any difference then why change it? It seems to me that the Liberals are spending money for nothing again. Why don‘t...

Finally I got hold of the picture. I took the photo myself, so I know that they really do exist.

The vests were obviously prototypes or copies that someone picked up some where. Contracts have been awarded for the manufacture of the vests, and they are the next thing that we will see issued by the clothe the soldier project, to be followed shortly by the new frag vests. They are also...
