This depends on your unit. I'd err on the side of caution until you confirm it with your CoC though.

I stand corrected. The way Clothing Stores at JFA Hamilton handles it, you get a complete initial issue set of everything (including PT strip, painter hat, over coat, and stuff you actually wear like shirts, tie, jacket, etc). I believe the logic being that if you CT to the regs, you have in...

To be more exact, highlanders are in fact issued pants. The box of goodies that come with DEUs are standard. As much as we'd like to say no, we still are issued pants. We'll simply never wear them. As stated above, the DEU jacket gets cut in a manner that you couldn't wear it with pants even if...

Just from looking in your profile, I'd caution you to remember that typically these no hooks will mirror your career path quite closely. I'm not sure how things go in the service battalion, so this is written in context of an infantry unit. Right now you are an OCdt, and they are no hooks. When...

Our unit has this. Our mess currently has more funds then it can spend. You can only buy so many video games. And the folks with the facilities contract won't allow us to pay for improvements to the mess itself. As for not having reasonable attendance after a parade night, this is a leadership...

Filling the second criteria of crazy safety precautions... Some of the guys from my unit told an SQ candidate they needed night vision fluid. They radio'd up to someone in HQ, who said to give him five mins. The candidate returned with a water bottle half full of fluid from a glow stick...

I recently ordered from dealextreme. The way I understand customs, is that any package with over a $20 value MAY be subject to duty. The may part is always a crapshoot. So I split my order into two packages. Package one was a knock off of a Surefire 9P, and a 2 pack of picatiny 1 inch mounts...

As does every other unit in the Canadian Forces. Don't talk yourself into one option until you've reviewed all of the options. The history of the TSR is no slouch either.

I hate to split hairs here, but try 2 half days "training" between 2 Dec 09 and "Aprilish". And that's pending the next budget does not give us more of the same. A half night a week might actually be enough to keep some of the skill fade off. Not to mention the LFCA Cmdr expects to have 6 Coys...

(Going on the assumption that his tour was as bad as you say it was...) Isn't this what the Padre is for? If he is using the CF's counselling programs, as he should be if he is as you say, then it must be documented some where that he is not 100%. Also, you might want to keep in mind that...

George's reply is 100% correct. I'd also like to add, that my understanding is that a straight razor is a slower process. It won't be uncommon for you to have to shave in 2-3 minutes from start to finish. Keep that in mind, FWIW.

Good point, Rifleperson62.

So what unit did you try to join?

Couldn't you just use an Alice pack? I thought the frames of the Alice/Malice and 64 pat. were interchangable?

Last weekend I was talking with a buddy that taught up there about this. He said the Rocket Sticks are pretty good, and he knows a few guys in the shacks were able to play WoW on it. He did say its hit or miss though, and what works in one room may not work in another. Make sure you get a 30 day...

Two articles with the same text, different photos. http://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1480250 http://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1479853 The service on Saturday was touching, to say the least. I was honoured to be there.

I remember being in tent city one summer and calling to order pizza for the section, for delivery. Long story short, I didn't need to give him an address, he could tell by the (lack of) reception exactly where I was.

You just cannot beat a highland unit on parade.

There is at least one section of Infantry attached to them in the door gunner roles. I personally know a MCpl type currently employed in that capacity.

This is something you will experience throughout your career in the reserves. Take it when you can get it, as it may not be available to you again. If you are entitled to it, get it. If you will need it soon (thermals, neck gators, etc) be sure to pass it up your chain of command. It may very...
