Although this has been touched on already, it is always good to see a view from a different light.

Yesterday it was 3 months since our son Donavan has passed away.  We all miss him so much, his little sister and I talk about him regularly, she says thats she misses him too. Please have a look at our website, and pass it on to all that you know. Today we walked to Donavans school, the...

Canada has declined the offer to be apart of the US missle defence plan.  As a nation protecting their boarders, the US extend their airspace 200 miles past.  It is not that bad doing that over either ocean, but now the US is forced to protect their northern aiespace too.  So that would mean...

I hope you don't mind me bringing this up again. We hope that parents and caregivers have a look at our website.  We hope that Donavan's Campaign make people aware, informed, and educated about the hazards of removable robe belts. We have started a new phase of the campaign,  The 23rd...

As some of you know, My son passed away two months ago.   In a tragic household accident, our five year old son was called to heaven.   My wife and I have began a campaign to educate, inform, and warn parents of the dangers of children housecoats with detachable robe belts. My wife and I...

I have a question, and perhaps someone out there may know the answer. My father pasted away recently, and I was given his CD2.   Is it possible to get either the Queen's Jubilee and, or the Canada 125 medals awarded to him? Does anyone know to whom I could inquire to whether this is possible...

The best "trick of the trade" that I find is to simply keep your mind active. Regardless if your are on OP, in a trench, at a VCP, or just on CP watch. Just keep your mind active. Go through IA‘s, Drills, just keep the cogs moving in your head. However in doing this, don‘t forget to check...

I have a quick question. Why was it such an outrage when Iraq showed their American POWs on TV. But it is nothing wrong for the Americans to show their POW? I believe the capture of Saddam Hussein is a great accomplishment. He should be tried and sentenced for the crimes that he has...

:cdn: Pro Patria :cdn: Our hearts feel heavy, in times such as these. Carry-on Troops. :army:

The program last night was called "Foreign Fields" on Global. I must say that it was really well done. However, as it was mentioned above, Global is supported by the Rightwing. Regardless of the political associations or allignments the program stated that 60% supported more spending to the...

Stick to paint ball! Leave the soldiering things to soldiers that care. :akimbo:

It is fine for the Department of National Defence to make these grand plans, and better ways to make use of the assests in the CF. The LFRR sounds as though there has been thought into using the reserves more. However, with all the incentives, plans, and encouragement I think that there is...

Lui, People like you are the cause of the never stable drinking policy at CFSCE. Need we remind you why you are there at CFSCE? Then people wonder why the Reserve courses are allowed to drink one summer and not the next. The reason...people like you Lui. Have you ever heard of the...

The best thing that we all could do is stop guessing and stop starting rumors of the JTF2. If you are interested in joining or knowing more, as members of the forces, you have an open invitation to the annual briefing that are held across Canada at bases. As for their tactics, equipment and...

Should we not remember September 11. I had a friend that passed away that day. The Americans did not start THIS fight, some else did. It led from a rogue country, to an already threat. Why did the US go after Iraq vs. North Korea, simple equation. The likelyhood of use of WMD. If N. Korea...

If the Government is expecting a number of fatalities from the mission in Afgan. because of the hostile evironment they will be in. Then, when will the Government acknowledge that the Canadians in Afgan. are entering a zone of conflict or combat. Allow the men and women to have the full...

Religion is no longer the striving force behind society, it is now merely a guideline for those that believe to follow. I have said this many times with family and friends. In the CF, religious freedoms, and the right to practice is a right that needs to be protected, just as mush as the right...

Mines are a highly effective defensive weapon. They force the enemy to move in the direction that you want them to. They create ‘traffic jams‘, stops, and the uncertainty of safe travel. They have a devasting effect on the morale of the enemy force. However, they do create massive amounts of...

Both in my Platypus and my camelback hydration systems, to get rid of that ‘rubbery taste‘, or before you use it if it has been for a while. I a do is rinse it out with hot, HOT water. Then I put two tablespoons of baking soda (in a 2 liter bladder), and mix it all up. I let that it stand for...

I am not goimng to begin to down play what the troops that were on the ground in Afgan. went through. I have many friends that were over there. Although they were in combat, in war zone, the Canadian Government had refranded from calling the region, the operation, a war. They were in combat...
