Don't just sit here and bitch about them, write these people letters! Their errors and lies need to be documented, rebuked, and thrown back into their faces! If they get more letters against their idiocy than in favor of it, they might just wake up and smell the reality. I don't take too...

An e-mail sent to the folks producing the "Support the troops, not the empire, bring our kids home" shirts: As a member of the Canadian Forces, I feel you may wish to rethink your T-shirt slogan " Support our troops, not the empire, bring our kids home" for the following reasons: You claim to...

From what I've read they had 73,000 accessions into the Army and the goal was 80000 for FY2005. It looks like this years goal was 70000 and they got 72000. I'm not sure if accession also includes transfers from the reserves or not.

LOL Protesting at a Federal building (Calgary) n a Saturday probably won't work. At least they won't be able to hassle the CFRC, protesting Canada's involvement in Afghanistan at the CFRC makes as much sense as beating up your mailman because you don't like GST. These poor fools don't...

Well, our campaign, new and old STILL works. At any rate, I am fairly sure the US Army failed to achieve its recruitment goal last year...

I was born on a Friday the 13th. Its also the 103rd anniversary of signals in Canada, so we took one of our trophies with Jimmy on it out for a pint!

Pte Pukepail...wow. You've clearly earned your verbal. The "Army of One" idea is idiotic. The military IS about teamwork, we don't need angry bedwetting loners signing up, we need intelligent teamplayers, who are willing to become team leaders. I know the previous ad campaign wasn't cool, but...

Don't be lumpin' the Comm Res in there  ^-^ AFAIK we've got an excellent relationship with our reg counterparts, particularly through CFJSR, and from what I've heard our QL5 course is now the same as the reg one. We also parade ALOT more than the Army reserve does. Perhaps with some tweaking...

I just wrote to the dofus who runs that blog. Feel free to check it out and correct me, if required. I am up way past my bed time and I would have done some research at the office but I've got a plane to catch in a few hours.

That quote almost seems to suggest RMC is for hobos and drifters. I could have sworn RMC was difficult to get into...

I just picked up my copy of the DVD. The ads are fantastic, especially the dom ops one. I think the CF will have greater with success using this as opposed to the previous ads, its not vague like the last batch and its not a high paced action rock video (Fighter pilots and SEALs only) like the...

I like it. No doubt related to the new CF ad campaign? Has anyone from the maritimes seen the new ads?

I tend to get more cheers than jeers. The other day a chum and myself were on the bus in uniform and a man gave us five bucks for coffee, I said we couldn't take it but he insisted, so I put it in the United Way jar at work the next day. I usually get a handshake from a stranger every few...

You won't be the oldest one there, my unit is sending an old guy, super gung ho though. I'm going for PLQ for the same start date as you and I've also been tapped for instructing the next BMQ intake, should be a wild summer, too bad it totally screwed up my regularly scheduled leave plan  >:(  I...

MEC silkweight boxer briefs They are about 25 bucks a pair with GST from your local Mountain Equipment Co-op. God I love that store!  ;D

Hello, I was in the California a while back and picked up 2 elite issue T-shirts and 2 under-armour T-shirts to find out which I liked best, and I've decided I much rather prefer the elite issue shirts made for the USMC, they kick ass. I've mostly worn the shirts in garrison but I had 2 of these...

Lehner, I'm surprised a mod hasn't asked you to fill in your profile yet. I would really like to know what sort of experience you have to back up your statements. One thing I've learned from being in the military and reading these forums is that experience always wins against "book learnin'" and...

MCpl Wilson was from my hometown, my dad was getting calls at the Legion about the roll-over, Rest in peace.  :cdn:

Yep, they're still at it. Protesting in front of a closed CFRC...that will teach us baby killers! They've also decided to protest after the death of every Canadian soldier, as if that person who just died serving their nation has ANYTHING to do with sending  Canadian soldiers overseas. If its...

This thread isn't the first time I've read about MAWO. I finally checked their website and I wasn't pleased with what I saw. Reading what they had to say about the world left me irritated and I decided to write them an e-mail:
