I wasn't aware the 1RCR Battle Group was from Edmonton  ::) Nothing like making it to seem way worse than it actually is. These guys definitely deserve the right to vote, but at least keep the information factual about how many guys are missing out. We're speaking about the Calgary municipal...

#10 - AQ can keep those stupid MedEng Spider Boots...Want to easily knock off a few Engrs? Give them those boots to "help" them clear minefields, and watch them lose their balance and fall over... ::)

I'd say 3-08 was an epic fail on more than just the paperwork front  ::)

Oh I'm well aware of the amount of SMs, RSMs, OCs and COs who have gotten hardware in the last few years. While I would never argue that some of them do not deserve it, for the most part it seems that they received a gong for doing what is expected of them. I mean really, aren't SMs, RSMs, OCs...

While I have no knowledge of the incident you speak of, I have had the opportunity to be enlightened as to the H&A process. Sub units submit their H&A nominations higher, where they are vetted at the unit level H&A board, and then proceed to TF level where they are vetted again at the TF H&A...

Most definitely true. You can expect to be employed as a Cbt Engr for a few years before even being considered to attend the Heavy Equipment Operator Course. And even then, you may never be offered it - it all depends on how you perform in the trade, the potential you display to excel in...

You are aware that the deeming of Op PODIUM as a special duty area, is not for H&A recognition right?

All the gates are monitored 24/7....

The gatehouse is definitely NOT abandoned, or being used for storage. The main gate is manned 24/7, however, sadly, no one checks IDs there anymore. The little guard shacks at the Canex and back gate seem only to manned occasionally, and the storage you saw was more than likely the equipment...

Well look at that. Learn something new every day  :nod:

The link for calendar for courses is listed on the Gagetown DWAN site, on the left side, near the bottom. Class B positions will be posted in routine orders, or on CFTPO, which, unless you have a requirement to be given access to, you will not have.

Whether or not he will have to redo BMQ or SQ will be up to the Career Shop when / if an offer is made to the member. As an example, when I CT'd to the Reg force and went to Chilliwack many moons ago, my PRes BMQ was written off, as were the BMQ's of the remainder of my coursemates. However, the...

Those books you refer to do not include the specific CIED TTPs being used in theatre, which are NOT posted online. Do you really believe that our soldiers overseas really just blunder around the country side waiting to be blown up? That there are no initiatives in place to break down the En...

I am going to assume you're not making spec pay - in which case I would suggest you re-check your math as I am making less than $64, 000 per year at Sgt. Splitting hairs yes, but if you're going to call someone out, best make sure you outline all the info....

Combat Diving is solely a Cbt Engr specialty, and does not fall under the Navy save for the diving regulation / administration side of things. First thing's first - clarify "....experienced some pretty demanding conditions while diving." I would hazard to say whatever diving you've done...

RIP Jimmy...

There are other missions besides ATHENA that 043's are on, however the positions on those are way above the lofty rank of Spr  ;D

Correct me if I am wrong, but does the Heron not have the capability to carry munitions?

Yes she was :D
