Fusilier,   As a fellow clerk, I have to say that what you have created is an excellent info package.  And, yes, you most definitely should submit it for official dissemination.  You need to be recognized for your efforts and your concern for the soldiers.  BZ!

Hey Pieman,   The following is a quote from CANFORGEN 079/04: CF DAY IS A CATALYST FOR THE CANADIAN PUBLIC TO RECOGNIZE MEMBERS OF THE CF IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. CF DAY IS NOT CF-DRIVEN, BUT RATHER COMMUNITY-DRIVEN.   Simply put, the CF does not put on functions for Armed Forces Day.  It is...

Some of my troops refer to me as "The Dark Lord".  Fortunately, they are much smarter than I, hence I have no idea that they call me that.

 Just a thought, but perhaps you could try flossing daily and brushing at least twice a day.  Give that a try and see how your next appointment goes.

I would think that any CO would appreciate being advised of your circumstances and would appreciate your honesty.  As for what other folks would think, you can't control that.  But, if they really believe that the unit represents a "Regimental family" then they will accept your decision and...

  I'd like to thank each of you for taking the time to respond to my query.  The info and viewpoints you have each provided are definitely insightful and will hopefully help my Branch (and others, with any luck) to attract more members.    While things like smoking by-laws have contributed to...

You could search by artist name as well.  We had a Mr. Zuber with us during the First Gulf War, perhaps searching by his name will give some results. BTW, how long have you been with the Lincs?  I was with the Regt 82-84.  Cheers.

  Not only am I a currently serving soldier (19 yrs Reg F, 2 yrs P Res prior to that), I am also a member of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Secretary of my Branch.  One of the questions I am asked by some of the "more mature" vets is why currently serving members are not more interested in...

If you are going on course outside of the geographical area of your home unit, you will be on Temporary Duty and receive incidentals at the rate of $17.30/day for the first 30 days then at the rate of $13.00/day from there on.  Personnel on Temporary Duty status and in receipt of incidentals are...

Hutch,   There are a variety of veteran's groups out there, the Legion being one, but there are also Army/Navy/Air Force Veterans Associtiaons (ANAF), Korean War Veteran's Association, etc.  I'm sure that any of them would provide assistance, but as I am a Legion member I know that we provide...

Howdy, Hutch,   Well, if your Grandfather is still alive, you could request a replacement of his efficiency medal from the government.  The Service Officer at your local Royal Canadian Legion can help you fill out the required paperwork and it might cost a nominal fee of somewhere between...

I'm not sure of the exact page you are talking about, but try this link and it should be a good starting point: http://www.recruiting.dnd.ca/engraph/home/index_e.aspx On the bar on the left there is a menu for civilian jobs and there may be something there that piques your interest.  Best of luck.

  I've collected Canadian military medals for 20+ years now.  If you are serious, stay away from reproductions, they are worthless.  Sure, they might only cost $8-$20 a pop, but as soon as it is in your little hands, it is worth $0.  No serious collector touches that stuff.  If you want a nice...

  Right now there are only four remaining Canadian WW1 vets still alive to the best of my knowledge.  The number is steadily shrinking, sadly, but such is the way of life.  I am unsure of the numbers for other countries, but, if and only if you are 18+, go to www.arrse.co.uk and enter the...

RMS CLK, 19 years Reg F, 2 years P Res prior to that.  Served with the Air Force in Winnipeg and the Army in Calgary and Edmonton.  Very glad I wear green vice blue.
