Just a thought; why not contact each unit and arrange a visit during a training night.  Since the Argylls and the RHLI are co-located, it would really mean only 2 trips.  This way, you could talk to the troops, officers and NCOs and get your answers first hand.  You can also then see what your...

Gotta love the nicknames he has been given; General Douchey McChinpubes General Ballduster McSoulpatch Brilliant!!

Yeah... seems to be the way of things.  I've always been told "Cpl is just a pay rank", told I have no leadership / instructor training, therefor have no responsibility / ability to lead / instruct... until there's no one else, then it's expected without question.... Kind of a double standard...

Veteran preserved the stories of the regiment he loved Article Link Another good write up.

You could also look at it like this;  he had one last visit with his regimental family...

The Regimental family of the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada is mourning the loss of a great man; the last commanding officer of the Highland Light Infantry of Canada (the units predecessor), the first commanding officer of the Highland Fusiliers of Canada, and a thrice-wounded veteran of...

Well... that's the straw that broke the camels back... set another place at the table, I'm heading down under.  ;D

I thought I'd just toss this in here... I have been in since '98 and have put in a request for ID discs every year (sometimes twice a year) and have yet to recieve a proper set of tags...  I stress proper. Granted, I have one of those names that can be easily screwed up; getting 8 letters in...

Something to consider; A Pte joining the CF with minimal education makes approx. $16.40/h* ($31488 per year) gross. A 2lt DEO (after spending 4+ years in university) makes approx. $22.44/h* ($43080 per year) gross. *based on 40h work week... relating to the civilian world (I know some trades...

It's a slippery slope on which we're dancing;  I (and 38 others) was eating breakfast and got hit by friendly fire, not a TIC, yet I wear a wound stripe... only qualifying as I was eating breakfast less than a kilometer from a Taliban strong point, during a major operation.  Point being; as...

There are so many things wrong with that it has to be right.

A little story about TACBAC; So, this past September I turned 30... for such a momentous occasion, a fellow soldier from my regiment gave me a can of TACBAC.  I must say, this appealed to both my odd sense of humour and the "fat kid" in me.  What can I say; I like bacon. A few weeks later I...

Perhaps it's just my inner-designer thinking, but; Cup Holder + Motorcycle = Bad Data Perhaps my math is off, but it works out everyway I try it....  ;D

I knew the people I was looking for were in Borden, I just wasn't sure of the details... thanks for the info. Good stuff... thanks for the link... This is exactly what I was looking for. It was the Mosquito helicopter line that gave us the idea, actually. As for engineering time; from my...

I had considered that, but I'm faced with the same dilemma; I really don't know where to start with radio controlled helicopter either... any suggestions? 

This is going to sound very very odd, but I figured I'd try every avenue in my search for information. I need some information and/or direction on the general operation of helicopters; Why? As I've gone on about in various other threads; I am in College for mechanical engineering...

A copy of the Canadian BOI was given to those of us involved who showed up for the meeting a few years ago, and is also available on the DND/CF site here. I would also like to see the US report, but, by the sounds of it, I don't think its going to be all that different from the Canadian one...

Not that I am siding with anyone, but I find it od how a saying, placed in a certian context evokes a strong feeling. Work makes (one) free; the literal trandslation of "Arbeit macht frei"... in the context of a concentration camp, it is horrible and very offensive... but consider it as a motto...

Depending on where you end up; there are a lot of volunteer bands across Canada, both Civlian/Military as well as Regular and Reserve. If you're keen on ensuring where you go has a band, do some research... there's lots of info on the forums here, just search around. Keep piping. :piper:
