And to go a step further, many people in Estonia considered Germany/the Nazis to be liberators from the Soviets.  This is reflected in the many, many Estonian men who signed up en mass and voluntarily for service in elite German units like the Waffen SS - to fight off the Soviet invader. This...

I'm going 11 May-21 Aug it looks like, not sure how many Anglo serials are starting up at this time, but I'm in one of them!

Yes, because I joined this site almost 3 years ago knowing that one day someone here would say something questionable, and then finally I'd be able to "post and run". To paraphrase the Big Cod - we're not the Public Service of Canada.  That said, we're the physical (muscular) arm of the...

Which is what something like "Durka Durka" would do, especially in such blatantly ethnicity-oriented context - it would draw unwanted attention to the CF if picked up by a reporter. I thought we were past this kind of thing.... Edited to improve sentence structure....

You're right, I do.

George,  I believe he was referring to the use of "Drukha Durkha", and not "Taliban".  I also have to agree with him; we're not fighting the ethnic group, we're fighting the TB and AQ.  That said, I'm glad as hell those Taliban got smoked. Corps of Guides

Interesting stuff!  I have been to Texel, and all of the other lovely little places you've mentioned there. I'll look into this book!

time expired: Interesting perspective - enjoyed that post.  I personally have long found the case presented by Israel's internal/foreign policy to be one of the great paradoxes of our times...

Acknowledged - I just received the same info from my recruiter this morning.  Kind of unfortunate that we'll be halfway done the course when we get word, but such is the service.

I had mine Monday, and as ballz said, it was a relative breeze.  My recruiter was unsure about the whole process though, as it is a new one.  That said, ballz, did you ask when offers would come out?  I was told that it was "almost certainly" before I leave for course, but that seems like a...

Sorry about the lateness of my reply - I was led to that conclusion by the recruiter who had told me that the INT-O course was much larger.  I believe I was inititally told that it was in the order of 8 months, so I had to assume that the course being described here was the shorter, PRes version...

A Modest Proposal, anyone?

Feel free to e-mail Greg Gutfeld of Red-Eye, I sure did: "to: [email protected] from: Corps of Guides Mr. Gutfeld, I was linked to a youtube video of you and your panel discussing the role of Canadians in Afghanistan.  You all said some extremely slanderous (and sadly misinformed) things...

George, I cannot access the site as I'm not around a DND comp but regardless, thanks a lot to both of you - the more you know!

Thank you very much Sapper - but I believe that must be the PRes course?

I tried doing a search, but didn't want to start a new thread as this was close enough.  I know the Basic Intelligence Officer Course is run at CFSMI in Kingston, but does anyone know the approximate length of this course?

This has long been my fav, daft  >:D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVJp3Xouxk&feature=related

I just watched all of these last week - great stuff!

The British AF colour of their "DEU" is so very, very classy.

Having read the other posts will give you a pretty good idea - it really depends on the numbers that arrive once we all hit the ground.  Generally, there isn't a ton of time off - that said its still a good tasking. The rooms in Carleton are by-and-large doubles, although a sparse number of...
