Another sad day... CBC Article: Article Link

No... No Hamiltonians allowed.  >:( Just kidding... you're more than welcome.  ;D Besides, I think we're going to have a bunch of Argyles and Rileys there as well...  Everyone is welcome; it's open to the public and it's all-ages. If you want the "advanced" tickets ($15), just send me a list...

HESCO doesn't weigh 1 lb when it's empty, but sure can weigh 35 lb when full. As well, standard sand bags are versatile, they can be filled with anything; sand, snow, rocks/pebbles, and brass casings... or just about anything else you want to carry or build with... They can even be used as...

Interesting product...  just a couple of questions though' 1) How does it compare in price to the issued sandbags? (which are generally very very cheap... and effective). 2) Why would someone (specifically soldiers) want to buy their own sandbags if the military generally provides them...

Yup... and it's these "Sergeantsaurus Rex's" who'll say; "back in my day, the enemy dug in zig-zag trenches, wore uniforms and wouldn't think of using unconventional tactics" as they try to fight the taliban with a bolt action rifle ('cause it was proven in battle... in 1942) It is a dynamic...

Yeah... I remember that..  It was Norwalk virus, or dysentery, or something along those lines, and Petawawa had you guys quarantined in shacks for most of the Ex...  That sucked.  Well... to be fair; fighting in the desert is a lot like fighting in hip-deep snow... except for the snow... and...

Heh... yeah... that sucked a lot.  I wasn't sure if A Coy was with us at that point, I only remember working with them after May-ish... but then again, they may have done that in Wainwright too.  Either way, it was brutal.  Fighting in FFO and armour in the winter, with snow shoes, is...

There's a lot more to it than that, but that's kind of the idea.  The deal is; most MOs (medical officers) at a recruiting center are employed to administer a general examination, and it's really not within their realm to do much more (due to time more than qualifications), so if they...

Piper 44, Your best resource for your questions will always be the Recruiting center... especially in this case, since it's in reference to your medical status, and since no one here is qualified, or has the necessary information, to judge and/or advise you on your medical condition, your best...

Damn it... Rickrolled on Army.ca  :(

Not exactly an "in the shacks" solution, but definitely not official use; Hay Boxes. We were trying to figure out where to get large basins to fill with ice and beer for the bar at New Years last year and the RQ mentioned that he had a bunch of hay boxes...  They work great, particularly...

I can't comment on the "Arctic" aspect, but I've done winter warfare in full FFO... as did anyone else on TF3-06... ie. Company attack up a huge-ass hill in the middle of nowhere, Petawawa...  Anyone who was there would surely remember this event; most of the company ended up upside down...

Third name released: Warrant Officer Robert John Wilson Link RIP  :salute:

I was on tour with Mark in '06 (he was a reserve augmentee as well) He was a damn good soldier and a damn good friend.  As with the others, he will be missed.

I would almost say "a German without a beer is like a Canadian without a beer" ....  but we manage... somehow (Timmies... lots of Iced Caps.)

Being one of the "pudgy" guys in the CF (I'm working on it), I think I'd have to say I somewhat agree with yukon... but i also agree with Modlr, Haggis and Dariusz; I think every NATO army has their fair share of pudge, (I don't know anything about the Brit women in Afg, though... sorry...

How eloquently put...  ;D

??? Really? These guys don't appear all the "fat"...  But, then again, this could be just a small cross-section of what is there. Is there any substance to this? Has anyone here worked with the Germans and agree with this article? I've personally never worked with them, but while I...
