Too whom it may concern, I agree that many things "slide" because of an officer being in the CIC. But when push comes to shove, I would rather be told I am doing something not congruent with SOPs, and be corrected. It is wrong to let this unacceptable behavior continue, seeing as CIC officers do...

The Arctic isn't so bad, it's the dry that gets you... I agree with Infanteer, you can only go so far with love it or leave it, but that doesn't mean love it or have a hissy fit as I feel this man did. I don't think that the office he holds is the best place to start overt protest.

How would you solve land issues then? Have the Crown surrender some or all of the lands on which reserves sit?

These questions will not necessarily reflect my private views, but are meant to provoke thought. Firstly, are land claims and self gov't effective means of replacing the treaties and Indian Act? I know quite often there is no perfect solution, but can the mentioned items be ammended or replaced...

211 - all persons can be addressed as either sir, ma'am, lad, lass or mate

mz589, I'll agree with that to a point. I think there is more of a "gun culture"on the prairies and the east coast (more space, means you can shoot for more freely, also a source of food! I'm from the prairies, and hunt). I now live in Vancouver in Kitsilano, big change, and I'm sure you'd find...

Sure glad he didn't teach my Hunter Safety course...

oakley, in defence of both cadets and the people who responded... I know a lot of reservists (not sure about regular members) who like cadets as they generally make better recruits. I was a cadet and am still with them as an officer until the end of summer. I have heard many good things come...

Yes fdl, My first post here was very poorly typed and GW pounced on it immediately. Now is the time in life to do more listening than talking, not an easy habit for us young men to start   ;D

191 - you ask friends and family for their sitrep or locstat 192 - all conversation is ended by a "roger, out" 193 - you meet someone from across the country because you're whistling pipe tunes (happened to me, stopped a guy from NS dead in his tracks)

So... we need both balls and the Americans? Is that what I'm hearing or am I off base here? I'm not a political guru, but with how things have been recently does that work?

glad you said that, didn't think the Megaherz version was much of a marching tune!

black bear, highland laddy, wings

I personally believe the gun registry should be dropped. Those who intend to commit crimes with firearms are most likely smart enough not to be caught before the crime. You can make a zip gun from many things, none of which need to be registered. I think reform of firearms handling courses would...

anyone out there know more regimental nicknames? links and winks, loyal eddies, run chicken run...?

I'm not looking to hijack this thread, but thought that this was close enough to keep it in the same thread. I'm curious what nicknames the regiments have? Such as Loyal Eddies or Bullwinkles. I don't know that many, so maybe some people would be nice enough to make a list as nice as Michael's?!

and how well does it handle IAs and stoppages?

Even if you couldn't get any vehicle (G-wagon or Leopard 2 and anywhere in between) have a demo of some sort to be part of the event (more 'exciting' than not of course). If there is no vehicle whatsoever available, more work would just have to be put into the smaller demos.

I think the Griffon demo had the right elements to create interest. Those being flash/demonstration, it was right in front of the audience and not a video (though I've seen a lot of cool videos, hands on is better at creating interest). After the demo the students were able to look at equipment...

The urban CADPAT almost looks like the new american camo coming out.
