No, actually, it IS approved, which is why it was passed on to us at an O Gp from our OC, who in turn got it from the Commander at his O Gp on Monday.

Oh for god sakes guys! The article was posted on 1 April  "April Fool's"!!!! Gotcha!!!

This has now been officially passed on to us in an O gp on 2 Apr 08. Here is what were were told: 1. $238 per month for all mbrs posted to "Field Units". I am pretty sure that if you have the word "Regiment" at the back-end of your Unit's name, then you probably qualify. 2. This will be a...

CF Express is the new standard upon initial recruiting. Make sure that she knows  that not being able to complete it prior to enrolement is not nessessarily a show stopper, but she had better damn well be able to pass it by the time she finished basic. For her own benifit, however: Make sure...

I completed the Basic Fitness Training Assistant (BFTA) Course in 2004. If anyone cares to know the particulars, imagine PT all day, every day, for about 2 weeks. It SUCKED!, but it was a damn good course, and recommend it to any JNCO or SNCO out there that wants to know the DEFINITIVE...

As with any posting, it is what you make of it. I have been with: Comm Sqn Lahr, 2RCHA, 2Fd Amb, 2RCR, CFSCE, and most recently 4 AD Regt. That said, you can easily see that most of my postings have been Brigade postings. Each of those postings had is good points and its bad, but a positive...

I know that this topic is getting a little off the mark now, with all of this talk about CDs and such, but I thought: "what the hell. Throw my 2 cents in too". I had not read the thread that Blackadder had posted, and I admit that I had never thought of my CD in quite that way. Having only...

According to the Trade Spec, optimum Trade progression will have you posted to a Brigade Unit upon completion of your QL3. Of course, history has shown that this is not always, if ever the case. While there are certain skill-sets that you will only be able to develop in a garrison Unit, those...

While i will not give you the exact numbers or details (suffice to say that I COULD..), there has been some (what I consider to be) rather "drastic" reductions in the Canadian ADATS fleet size in conjunction with the Series 400 Upgrades currently underway. As far as getting something to...

Truth be told, I can see where MS was wanting to go with Vista. While there are a large number of irritating (they call them "features") quirks to the OS, almost every single one of them can be turned off or if nothing else, tweaked to a point where they are no longer such a pain in the butt...

Body Glide is the absolute best. So far, the only places that I have been able to find it is at the Running Room, but I swear by it. It works for nipple burn, chaffing between the thighs, and I have even used it on my feet during my BFT Ruck March. It really does work! Personally, I can't...

Those of you in the C&E Branch are all well aware of the fact that currently, Comm Research is the only C&E Trade with a Trade Specific Occupation Badge. LCIS, Lineman, and Sig Op all share a common Occupation Badge on the sleeve of their DEU Uniform. on 20 Feb 07, during a Branch Adviser...

CWO Voisine = Branch Chief CWO Blais = Foreman of the Army Just FYI

Every Two weeks. Almost (with the exception of the rare zero-load) like clock-work. Make sure you brush up on your math.

A Bridge too Far. One of the best movies ever, not to mention the war movie aspect. I actually had the opportunity to do a "Market-Garden" Tour when I was posted to Germany in the early 90's. We followed the route right up to Arnhem. It was actually pretty cool, since we had copies of all of the...

I remember Wolf from years ago on our BOTC in Chilliwack in 87! The man had the hairiest back in NATO! We were in the Gym working out, and he had a tank top on. I looked over at him and said: "Hey Wolf...looks like it's gonna be a cold winter, eh?" He's a tough ol' coot, and stuborn taboot. If...

BTW....just so you know: Training Command (the Lantern), and Communications Command (the Lightning Bolt one) no longer exist, so those particular badges are now nothing more than momentos...Not sure about Northern Command, but I image that it went the way of the dodo as well. As for new Badges...

The Command Badge of which you are referring is CFSTG (Canadian Forces Support Training Group).CFSTG is responsible for nine Training Establishments, including six that call Canadian Forces Base Borden home, two located at Canadian Forces Base Kingston and one located at Canadian Forces Base...

Our O Gp today stated that Corporals will start getting their Spec Pay effective DAY ONE of their QL5 course, so that is good news for those LCIS Cpls who will be attending the Pilot Serial. Unfortunately, while it is readily apparent to those of us here at the school, that they are eager to get...

von Garvin : Hey sir,I am posted back to Gagetown this summer, albeit, not back to the Bn. Regardless, I will d/l those vids for you if you like and stick in inter-base mail if you like. Did you want it converted to DVD video? or is mpg video fine? Let me know, and I will fire it off to you, no...
