    Questions regarding COM RESEARCH.

    I‘ve heard commsresch get to do field work messing around with the enemy and a whack of other cool stuff...but then again I have limited insight. I worked with a group from intel once and asked about this trade while I was in the reserves on a tasking. If I could get them to ROTP any trade...

    Letter to American Troops about Iraq War *Anti-War People Please Read*

    Are we forgetting that the US is installing their kind of capitalism? YAY, salaries for doctors and teachers have gone up...what..so they can be as unaffordable to the average Iraqi as they are in the United States to the average American? Great, lets help create a great new consumerist...

    Joint Missile Defence.

    It is a mixture of capitalizing on the potential of the program if it does work...maintaining close North American Defence ties with the US, and potential bidding contracts. If we don‘t get involved, we risk having the to enter at any later date on entirely US terms should we ever need this...

    Why does Canada need an army?

    I kind of like the Swiss model of a military. Not that I really want that model, but it could be a feasible option at least as far as the army is concerned. (I better be careful before I put myself out of work) It is conceivable that we could have one large militia, (reserves) for all home...

    Why does Canada need an army?

    Actually, we still claim that territory, and the US still sends its ships through there. The point of contention is that we let them use it, and when they have ships going through, we send planes to do a routine flyby so that it cannot become an ‘international custom‘ and be entrenched into...

    Recruiting in the Canadian army

    The luxury of waiting is not given to all people. The first time I wanted to join, I needed a job then, within a month or mabey I could have held on for two months...but not eight. Eventually I went home and went back to school and had the time to wait while joining the reserves, but what I am...

    Recruiting in the Canadian army

    The only prob I see with that Peters is that civilian employers don‘t take 8 months - at least most don‘t - to hire you. Generally speaking, if there is an opening, it is filled as fast as possible, and you usually know within a few weeks or a month whether or not you have the job. The army...

    Recruiting in the Canadian army

    My security clearance took a while, I think my application was in progress for about a 8 months in total and you raise what I feel is a really good point: they never call to keep you interested. I do think that is a problem. The army is desperately seeking manpower, and the process is so long...

    Drug use/drug testing in the CF (merged)

    Speaking of amusing stories, I‘ve got a rip off the internet which shows and talks about LSD being tested on British soldiers back in the 50‘s or 60‘s,it may even be a bit earlier cuz it is in black and white. Mabye someone who knows about the weapons they were carrying could tell what time...

    Drug use/drug testing in the CF (merged)

    If people wanted to make pot legal, then it may eventually become legal. As for any drug ()being legal or illegal), I feel stongly, about possible effects upon reliability or job performance. As many have so eloquently put, I don‘t trust my life to a rip-head. That excludes use of marijuana...

    IAP and BOTC???

    So it has been a while since I have been to this website. I am happy to see that it has done so much. I‘ve now gone from the ranks of the reserves in BC, transferring to the ranks of the reserves with a remuster to armour in Quebec (for language limitations), and a transfer with a re-re-muster...

    The "accidental" terrorist-Jason Morley and Free Speech

    The private and me sat down for a while at the last night we were at the barracks for a few and he described the stories to me and another member of the unit. Until this point, we had no idea what had been going on. He told us his view of the events and described us the "take down" at the...

    The "accidental" terrorist-Jason Morley and Free Speech

    Pte. Morley is a good guy, he‘s not a terrorist...and he is interested in how things are done. He thinks...unlike many "grunts". So he thinks about strategy...is someone not allowed to think about it? He was nit thinking about how to get away with storming the legislature...he was THINKING...
