"Canada's Amphibious Ambitions" http://www.canada.com/components/print.aspx?id=40c3f325-cf58-44e3-9049-18ffc7d1e9a3 Very detailed; I'm beginning to like canada.com more and more...

If we WERE to purchase these surplus leopards, would it not make sense to upgrade these tanks to Leo 2A6 standard? Germany is in the process of upgrading 225 of their A5s to A6, so it is doable. If we were to buy these tanks, should we not add some extra cash to the $3 billion redicrected from...

I think the med coys you are refering to are reserve units as opposed to reg field ambulances...? Thanks for the info  :salute:

Hello I was browsing the updated section of the army units site. Apparantly the army has a 4th regular brigade, 3 CMBG. It's based in Gagetown and consists of a few units in atlantic canada. http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/English/7_0.asp?action=Brigade&id=31 So is this a newly-created...

Exactly. I joined cadets just days after my 12th birthday. I started my cadet career as soon as I could, and I intend to see it through to the very end. I just brought up the topic because over the past recent months I have seen alot of my ex-cadet friends go off into the Reserves and Regs. I...

I found another thread on this course, but it was old and I don't believe it was for Air Cadet Exchange. Anyways, I was hoping someone here who has been or plans to go on exchange can tell me more about it (How and when to apply, trip locations, chances of getting it etc...). Any info would...

WHAT!? I thought you were not allowed to have 2 COs, thus not able to be a cadet and reservist at the same time...? At least that's what I was told by my Trg O  >:( The only reason that has kept my from walking into CFRC Vancouver and joining the reserves is the fact that I'm still in cadets...

That 'Act For Earth' guy was a Jackass. I found that Mathew Fisher wasn't entirely competent, either. He had some of his facts wrong, and there was a couple of times where he could of spoke up to defend his position but didn't. There was one enlightening phone call, though. A retired Colonel...

I just realized that Private Mark Graham is in one of the information videos. Under 'About us' - 'Employer of Choice' , then 'Life in the Canadian Forces' video on the right. AIC :cdn:

Both. Joining reserves next year after I'm done cadets. When I'm done university CT to Regs. I have a few former members of my squadron that are getting right into the regs. One of them leaves for BMQ next week. AIC

I decided to phrase it the polite, political way.  ;)

:threat: What then?

What about the Leo 2A6 and the ASCOD? Both are new (and better) than the M1 and M2 and both are available right now. Leopard 2A6: http://www.army-technology.com/projects/leopard/ ASCOD: http://www.army-technology.com/projects/ascod/ Euro style!

Iteresting idea, Armyrick. So we convert the DFS regiment into an armoured cav-type unit?

Oui, but Hillier has this to say:
