Good thing you ran it past us, your reply is rife with errors. 1. Officers do in fact fight. 2. Your third sentence makes no sense. 3. Combat Engineers are part of the combat arms. They have officers too.

From what I know it isn't an overloaded trade. If it is they should have mentioned as such. Feedback is simple and easy to provide. No excuses, I absolutely refuse to accept "bureaucracy" as a reason. I met the branch chief a while back and he wasn't impressed with how long this is taking. I'm...

I'm a reservist so I was under the impression that once I came back to Canada the CF didn't give a rats ass where I lived. Is DP1 newspeak for QL3? I do have info on up coming QL3 course dates, though that info is over a month old. I have my Level III security clearance. My anger is directed...

Month 7 of waiting. Res Sig Op to Reg Comms Research. I submitted the paperwork in Afghanistan. I am profoundly offended by the idea that a civilian off the street could easily have signed up and joined and gone into the trade of his/her choice while a dedicated serving member who has adequate...

I need to deploy again! I've always wanted to see UAVs up close.

Overseas I used the small pack at first, and then a "Bug out gear" bag from the AAFES at KAF. I'll never use the standard radio harness again.

Maybe a thread split is in order. I am in favour of this idea on combats, overseas I never really worked with the British, but with the TRFs I'd know who to approach. I thought about the TRF on the occasions I was sent running around a leaguer or convoy to help people who didn't know I was a...

Been there, done that...only once though. Great motivation to get the mask on uber fast!  I only managed to bark out "Gah"

Either that or we've got an epic militia unit full of 130 year old bad ass Fusilers.

Aeroflot is Russian for Air Canada...?

Roger that. I am getting sick of explaining things to civies, should it be my job? Yes and no. I talk about my experience and it blows peoples minds. And explaining it to military members? It blows my mind how ignorant some folks in the forces are about the mission. Most folks in the forces are...

If only "journalists" were required to time stamp their images and footage and provide footnotes and sources for their reporting. Alas, "journalism" is one of the few businesses left with no standards or regulations, which enrages me due to the vital importance the news media has in maintaining...

You don't happen to work for/invest in Cymat do you?

What does the CF-105 have to do with Canadair/de Havilland/Bombardier? You left out the CF-5 from the list as well.

That thing can go 72 km/h on the highway! The speed of an LSVW, the protection of an Iltis, and the price of an up armoured HMMWV what a deal! I imagine the designers got sucked into the monkey trap of air mobility, but instead a fretting about a C 130 they wrapped their heads around the inside...

Yep. Once Viking has completed production of the FWSAR project we can pull the jigs out of the secret barn and build CF 105s to replace the CF 18. If we seriously intended to build everything at home it would require a harmonized plan thoughtful enough to last through multiple Lib/Tory cycles...

I don't know what it would cost for 2 travelers, but I went to London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Northern France. The first 3 are best for singles, and I'd wager the last 3 would be great for a couple. Luxembourg is small, absolutely charming, and english and french are...

I needed to use safari instead of firefox. I was hoping they would demo them on a range somewhere, I suppose that method is safer though.

Mac owner here, I suppose that explains the troubles.

No joy on the first link :(
