    It's funny you mentioned that one geo............ I remember 'C' Sqn. of the 1st Hussars in Sarnia has a PAM library up on their second floor of the Armoury they parade at.  There was a ton of old PAMS in that musty little room. Regards

    There is a very knowledgeable Corporal working in the RCD archives at CFB Petawawa.  He's sitting on a mountain of military history. Try getting in contact with him by calling CFB Petawawa and requesting the RCD duty centre, and you'll get direction from there.  He is currently in the process of...

    WOW! 10, 000 posts for George Wallace

    Shamrock - It was a slight at the Reg Force. TN2IC had been trying for a while to CT and he finally got it last November I believe.  I am Reg Force and I'm one of those people who doesn't go for the Reserve/Reg BS of who is better, so I often make light of it. You know, if you can't laugh at...

    OK - George is at 9,953 meaning he has 47 to go............... He averages 8.7 posts per day........ At that rate he should hit 10,000 in the next five days making Mar. 16 the big day, but he's been slacking lately........... I'm going to stick to my original Mar. 24.   Good to see quick...

    Professional Envy/Jealousy in the CF...Does it Exist?

    It absolutely exists.  Everytime you see a PLQ course come along and the names from the Regiment are submitted, you can always find people b@!&*ing "I can't believe He's on that course when I don't have it yet".  It's always been there and it always will be.  It's human nature that when there's...

    PAT leave & Pension

    I ran a search on this and came up empty........... I am currently on PATA leave. When I go back to work, the lady at the PATA office told me that I would have to buy back my pension time when I return to work.......  I have a question on this. When I do return to work, are they going to nail...

    modern history lost to future historians

    I actually made a point to write at least one letter a month to my wife in my own handwriting and sent it home via snailmail for just the reason you speak of.  I wanted something that I knew would be kept by her that someday my grandchildren would be able to read, even though I sent her e-mails...

    A scarier strategic problem - no people

    With the costs associated with children, is anyone actually surprised this is occuring?  If you have 1, 2 or worse, 3 or 4 children, the financial drain on the family is brutal..........  The cost of daycare so the mother can go back to work more or less eats her entire paycheque.  Speaking on...

    Rifle Drill Peeve

    I can remember when I joined the Sea Cadets in 1991, our Corps had the Lee-Enfield as the weapon used by the Guard.  They had black wooden, C-7 size magazine shaped grips screwed into the bottoms of the Enfield's mag to make the shoulder arms position easier.  However, I also remember in 1995...

    NEED SOME HELP UNDERSTANDING

    What gives them the right?  Current serving soldiers like your brother, and generations of soldiers who have gone before, many of them giving their lives. Already, I've stated this before, others have stated it and I'll say it again.......... I joined the Army for just this reason - the chance...

    Greek Cypriots Remove Wall, Seek Turkish Pullout

    This means something to those who served there, but considering I was only 10 or 11 when we pulled out of Cyprus, I'm fairly ignorant on the subject.  I know about the history of the island, but when it comes to our UN contribution there, I have limited knowledge.  Why did Canada pull out of...
