More waffle....please make it stop.... Same as the comments eluding to RSMs (and COs) or lone soldiers for that matter doing their own thing without the sanction of the CoC (not that you MCG added to the latter)....laughable at best. The only 'signs" I care about are that this is...

With regard to the Reserve aspect, the Reserve Training link details a reciprocal training policy that allows a reservist studying or working overseas to continue their reserve participation in a sanctioned manner.  It is not an exchange program nor are members seconded (on loan).  I met a young...

More on same.... 2 CER have established a 31 man Airborne Fd Tp...so maroon t-shirts on PT and beret's are the order of the day...they started re-building the capability last Nov IAW the Bde Comd's intent with regard to airborne and air mobile capabilities. By all accounts things are going very...

Not from a 2 CER source but from someone with some knowledge of this matter... "2 CER has, or is in the process of building a troops worth of jumpers.  2 Bde is going with an "enhanced" jump company based around M Coy of 3 RCR.  They will be however on Cas Para only for now but have all the...

My take also.........first time I have ever heard of it....

I was not comparing Kabul to any other area or province...just stating it is far from benign....Fact.

Had the Coy Clerk check mine for the year I spent in 2008/9...I was level 5 (I presume Risk) and 4 (Hardship), I was told 5 and 4.... personally I was all over the country....so all looks well....although I have yet to see the print-out myself. Not sure who called Kabul area benign....total...

ISAF HQ...true (generally no weapons carried by staff on the HQ)  CSTC-A as it was, weapons were carried, at all times. Interesting point raised earlier on the pay difference...between Kabul and Kanadahar...will have to look into that....first I have heard of it.

I will say this... I too served in the post Somalia Airborne Regiment....and echoing what has been said by many, the unit that was disbanded under the leadership of LCol Peter Kenward was not the unit of the Somalia debacle. I continue to serve, now in my 33rd year....but I still have trouble...
