Hi all, I'm just curious as to how you all form your berets and if there is a difference in how they do it between regiments/corps etc. I know some people cut the cardboard backing down, some like the big "trench" thing on the left side, as well as the ones with the leather sweatband that seem...

1) This has been answered already, search for more info. 2) Some people do their BMQ over the summer, however most do it on weekends. If you are BMQ qualified by the time summer rolls around, you likely go on your SQ (now called BMQ-L), and some do their initial trades training right after...

That clip reminds me of a story I heard about Chesty Puller. From wikipedia:

Simple enough, I think I can remember that.

Question, are we required to salute or merely stand at attention when other countries' nation anthems are playing?

Just a heads up, a lot of the members of this forum get pretty cheesed if you ask questions that have already been asked and answered. Read a lot and only post a new topic if you really need to. Search for what you are looking for and read the FAQ and stickied topics in the recruiting forum...

I don't claim to be an SME on this topic, however I'm on my BMQ right now, and I also do fairly extended backpacking trips about once a year and I'm pretty familiar with civvy rucks. I own a civilian ruck which is far more comfortable than the one that is issued, and if I'm not mistaken you...

Answered my question perfectly. Thanks. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all!

I agree, this definitely isn't a disaster on a scale of the ice storms, in fact trucks were out salting the roads yesterday and looks like we'll have power back soon. Just curious as to what protocols were in place to get in contact with reservists when regular communications were down.

So essentially, no real system, just any way one could get in contact? Would it be reasonable to think there would be a broadcast put over the radio/any public broadcast telling reservists to report to their armouries? Was there one of those in '98?

I live in the GTA, and as I'm sure many of you are aware, some parts of the GTA and Toronto are expected to have no power for a while (could be a day, could be 3 days) due to the ice storm that blew through here. It got me to thinking, if the Reserves were needed in such a situation, how would...

It works! Thanks a lot.

Will do.

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the waist strap on the fieldpack (the old school one, external frame, OD green). I don't mean tightness, I mean the vertical orientation. As it is right now, my waist strap sits around my ribs (supposed to sit on my waist or hips), and when...

For what it's worth, aparteid in South Africa was far worse than the civil rights issues in the US, and even today it is not even close to gone. Also, there were plenty of violent civil rights activists in the US which probably also helped move the cause along.

When the POLICE is firing upon crowds of peaceful protestors unprovoked, maybe responding in kind is the only course of action. It worked, didn't it?

I'm on my Reserve BMQ right now, and while it's different than Reg Force, I speculated I would get on the summer course, and my application wasn't finished, finally when I got in a year after applying, I was informed on my second parade night that I was starting BMQ that Friday. It really...

Those are some excellent photos you took. Really great.
