A CADPAT flightsuit is currently in development for use by aircrews and armour guys. There are, apparently, some difficulties in transferring the distributive pattern onto NOMEX, so I'm not too sure if or when the kit will be released.

I've been observing this thread since it had started a couple of days ago. Piper, it seems as if your main response to Brit's arguments is "present your grand plan." Well if you've read the statement below, you would realize why he hasn't presented his grand plan. He makes a fair proposition...

That looks like a decent plan; do you have a source for this (I'm curious to read about it some more)? However, realistically speaking, the earliest time frame for getting the A400M would be in the 2014-2016 range, this is due to the fact that the delivery date keeps changing and Canada would...

Considering the fact that our 19 or so CC-130E's are close to 45 years-old and are going to be phased out in the very near future, keeping the Hercs and purchasing C-17's would be impossible. However, we do still have around 13 of the newer CC-130H's and along with a purchase of 15+ C-130J's and...

We all have our motivations for a career in the CF (e.g. challenge, lifestyle, money), and it is not up to you to decide whether or not someone should leave after their initial time commitment has been fullfilled. As long as the person performs his/her duties to a satisfactory standard, you...

The pay for all ROTP students is the same. However, PLD rates across the country are different and can often double the OCdt's monthly income (i.e. Toronto PLD is $1586.00 per month).

Someone else had previously posted this link http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/defense/1227842.html in another thread which debunks most of the 9/11 myths. It's worth the read...

He is currently one of the instructors at the CF Instrument Check Pilot School.

You would undergo a number of tests as part of the medical portion Aircrew Selection at DRDC Toronto. One of the tests is a topography of your cornea which will reveal the fact that you've had the surgery. 

    I just got back from IAP on July 22 and from what the instructors have told us, it is my understanding that BMQ will be extended from 10 to 13 weeks and IAP will be extended to 10 or 11 weeks while BOTP will stay at 5 weeks starting January 2006.     We were told that BMQ was extended to...

But are you willing to be a CELE in case you can't do the the OT? Nothing is for sure, so if you can't change your MOC, then you'll be doing a job that you may not really enjoy.

If you have the cash, then should buy the pedals. At least you'll get used to using your hands, eyes and feet all at once. Remember to set your sensitivity to the maximum and make sure to select the Cessna 172 IFR Panel (the layout of the six-pack is identical to the CAPSS) when you're...

From what I have heard, ANAVs' responsibilities have been drastically reduced, and that all that fixed wing pilots need is a GPS instead of a navigator.

  I've said this earlier and I'll say it again; I completely support anyone who joins the Marines as it is their choice, and freedom of choice is one of our greatest values. Nevertheless, I've noticed a few trends from reading this thread. It appears to me that many of you believe that in order...

I have been looking all over the net for info on the CFWAC. Nevertheless, I've been unable to find anything except for the possibility of the Centre being located in Trenton. So could someone provide some more information on what kind of roles the centre will fill, number of personnel, etc. Any...

If you look at my posts in this thread, you will notice that I have not expressed ANY of personal opinions on OIF. So your statement that confidently articulates how I totally agree with Hack's opinion was pulled out of your a*s, and that is a fact. As to reading your profile and you not being a...

What accusation? I made it clear that that's the image of himself he was portraying through his statement (notice the phrase "it seems" that I used). I did not accuse him of anything. Secondly, when you stated "...because they have a different opinion than you", which of my opinions are you...

2332 Piper Just from that statement alone it seems as if you are bitter that the 'Canadian War Machine' is gathering dust while the US is â Å“doing its workâ ? (whatever it may be) and that you don't give a crap about the reasons for the war, but as long as you fight you are happy. Do you...

I truly believe that it is someone's choice whether or not to join the Marines. Nevertheless, the majority of Canadian people do not support this war and since these people fund the CF, we have to reflect their views through our actions (i.e. not going to war) whether we like it or not. However...

I have heard of instances where pilots get issued a sidearm which is NOT the Browning (i.e. CF-18 pilots in Kosovo getting the Sig Sauer P226 in the year 2000).
