    Thoughts on Rum Rations & Field Smokers (From:

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    Not sure what some of you are all "upset"/panties-in-a-knot about the OP. It's just some geeky information, some may find it interesting, some amusing and some not. It may even help some with a similar way of thinking and be totally irrelevant to others - probably most of us. He may have come...

    Engineer/Artillery/Infantry applicant looking for info. Help!

    2 men hack soldier to death in UK, are then shot and wounded by police

    Similar to blaming Christianity for the Westborough Baptist church protesting at soldiers funerals... (there are many other current examples but I'm too lazy at the moment to look them up) but definitely, Islam has a far bigger share of extreme extremists "guided" by their religious beliefs .

    The runways in Haiti after the earthquake come to mind. Wrote off a grader in Pet after one of the 100' parachutes failed to release; We LAPEs a few machines in Baker Lake in 89 I believe but left the D3 there after it broke down. (the town managed to recover it before it melted through) They...

    BMQ Reserves 2010 - 2017

    There we go, thank you! It allows sufficient latitude for me to make a decision on how to employ them and allow them to participate in virtually every exercise throughout the training year - with sufficient supervision! This whole thread is kind of sad in that it highlights the lack of...
