The Camerons, like many other Highland Regiments in the CF, wear kilts to honour the traditions of their predecessor regiments.  Most (if not all) Canadian Highland Regiments have roots in Scotland. For Example; A lot of these Regiments have histories which predate Canada, as their...

It is really up to your preference... They're both PRes Infantry Regiments, so from a generic standpoint they should be the same... It really comes down to weather you want to wear pants or a skirt (Royal Winnipeg Rifles wear pants, Cameron Highlanders wear kilts) And before anyone gets pissy...

Hmmm... I kinda bypassed the other questions, but here's pretty much the gist of it; Okay, since you're interested in joining the PRes in Manitoba, here's a site with all the CF units in the Province; http://www.skyhawks.forces.gc.ca/lf/english/7_0.asp?action=Prov&id=3 You will have to...

No problem. The next hurdles will be the CFAT, the Medical, the Fitness test and the interview. There's lots of information around the forums. Don't forget to search before you post a question... and if it's regarding the medical, you're better off asking the CFRC directly, as no one here is...

Steveo, The link for the fitness guide you posted works fine, you just need to download Adobe Acrobat PDF reader. Also, regarding your application; make sure that you bring your Official, original high school transcript...  it has to, for sure, be a transcript and not a numeration of credits...

I'm glad to hear that the CF is working hand in hand with civilian hospitals... It would be nice if there was a military contingent in hospitals in every major city. It would make things so much easier for the PRes and Reg F out of bases.  Even if it's just a civilian doctor/practitioner...

I can see it being swung may ways by everyone; Soldiers in hospitals "militarizing" the health care system. Would this really be a bad thing? maybe more would get done. or Civilian doctors and nurses helping our military medical professionals treat the soldiers and their families. Setting...

It would probably be better the other way around; Military wings in Civilian hospitals.  The facilities are already there and are usually undermanned anyway.  And as you stated; it would help to keep CF med staff current. Besides, most bases have hospitals; even limited ones... and usually have...

As much as I think this new CF hospital is great for the big R soldiers, it really won't change much for the PRes members... It's still fairly far away from the majority of PRes members.  As well, not all injured Reg F members want to recover in the same place; most would prefer to be near...

I know this was posted in The Sandbox and Areas Reports Thread August 2008, but I wanted to comment on it directly... so here it is again. Posted with all the usual caveats. Canadian troops get better care overseas: report Article Link Here's the part that intrigues me; As much as I hate...

Heh... welcome to my world. I rarely get a good night sleep, and when I do it's because I've either done something during the day to absolutely exhaust myself (which is rare) or I've passed out from drinking... which isn't really a good night sleep. I would suggest milk.  I'm trying the...

My personal favorite for misheard lyrics is Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter .... "Make me fries" (you'll understand when you watch the video)

Here's a mirror: Prep for interview Your recruiter probably already told you all this, but I'll reiterate; - Complete this form just before the interview, The day before or the morning of, then the information will be current and fresh in your head. - Make sure you bring the form completed to...

Sometimes... No matter how hard I try, and no matter how much I say I want to, I can never bring myself to actually do it... They're my Kryptonite... But, booty, if you keep up this charade, I will punch this kitten... (not really) I know... I'm garbage.

Like the dozen + others lurking, I've been following this thread for the last few days;  I've got to say, it's been pretty funny...  I love a good roast, especially when the meat is so fatty.  The line of BS coming out of booty makes my bowels quiver with a sort of sympathy squit.  I honestly...

There can be the same kind of confusion when it comes to Reg F to PRes... But much like the PRes to Reg F system; it really does come down to a 'case-by-case' basis. The biggest issue I've seen with the Reg F to PRes CT is the confusion about who should be conducting all the admin; the PRes...

No matter the problems inherent in the current system, it is still much better than what was there before;  It is much more streamlined, much more efficient and definitely a step in the right direction.  I don't think the system can get as simple as we would all like it without stepping on the...

I think that's generally the way they're trying to make it go... The new CT instructions outline a "quick and easy" transition between PRes and Reg F in the same trade... but, as per the norm, this isn't always the case.  As I've just found out from my unit's CC, members still have to be...

Heh... oddly enough, I've found things via a google search, at work, on my DWAN computer, faster than I could ever find them on the DIN search engine... Including items which, in the document itself, state; "Although this document is not classified, it should not be distributed outside of the...

Awesome.. Thank you  ;D This document should be handed out to every soldier when they join... then when they ask for something they're not entitled to, the CQ/RQ/QM staff can just tap a sign on their desk that says; "You're not entitled. Ref: CFS D01-301, etc."...  They don't even have to put...
