    CTV News: Military to buy new shells costing $150,000 each

    Considering what people have mentioned regarding the improved accuracy of the Excaliber shells I would say that the cost is well worth it. And I would think that the NDP, who consistently talk about civilian and Canadian casualties in Afghanistan would realize that improved accuracy means less...

    Google-earth sightings....

    Cool, thanks George Wallace. That must have been one intense explosion. Perhaps you or someone else can identify the black planes at the center of this google map link of Cold Lake.

    Recruiting Posters, Slogans and Commercials [Merged]

    I was really surprised when I saw the new Canadian ones on tv last night, blew me away. The USMC video was really dumb, and yes I thought it was a Gillete commercial too. I liked the part with the fan though, reminded me of a "play safe" add that was on tv when I was a kid. The British Mech...

    Homolka unleashed

    According to the article I posted she changed her last name to Teale which is a reference from a movie in the 1990s where the character with the name Teale was a serial killer.  Now I dont have any fancy degrees to back up my opinion but I would have to say that since she has not changed her...

    Grey Cup and the CF participation

    While it does cost money to do these kind of things I think that the CF should do this kinda thing more often, it would give them positive publicity. If they do something like this again they should have better coverage of it, and like you said they could have carried the cup out onto the...

    Need some help-NCM questions

    Why dont you give one of your local units a call and arrange a date/time where you could come by and get a tour. Not sure if its possible with regforce but I know my local reserve units do it.  Just give them a call, because really, what have you got to loose?

    Iam planning on being a part of the reserves for at least the duration of university, so 4-5 years.  Thank you for the advice, I think I will be giving the local navy reserve base a call to see what they do throughout the year.

    the best thing about the navy

    Regarding the Navy Reserves I heard today from a guy at the CFRC that unless your naval reserve unit is along the coast you really dont get to do much at sea. I would prefer to join the navy reserve but this changes things if I cant actually get on a vessel. Anyone have some insight on this issue?
