That is definitely some sick shite. Hopefully they can find out who did this and give them the proper punishment.

When I heard the story's from people who did the four week course it sounded like a cake walk. No inspections, week or two in class with a week on the range and week in the field. Sounded like such a joke. I did the seven week course and it was a good go. Inspections were quite intense(I recall...

I suppose that would have been valuable info to have eh??. I think he was more upset that he knew we could have done it with a bit of teamwork(because we had ten minutes the next time and made it with about a minute or so to spare) and just lost it. Knowing what I know now, I would have...

My instructor seems to think it was funny as well, because any time I have seen him since that is one of the story's he remembers(along with getting drug down the road by an ML :o). That was my whole thing. I was like well s*** do I lie to him or just tell him the truth. Being a newbie and not...

I know it was BMQ and that is why I'm not really too upset about it. The only reason I posted again was because I couldn't leave that one untouched. I guess he figured I should have known all the ways of the military in week two,which is when that happened. ::)  I don't know but I was always...

I think in cases such as the one in St.John's those who are caught,if they ever are, should have to go stand in front of the vets and explain to them why they treated a monument dedicated to those they fought with like total crap. That is on top of any other sort of punishment they receive. I...

Rest In Peace Boys. :salute: :cdn:

Any EME OCdt I've spoken with said they got their cap badge after they were completed their phase training. The officers I've seen have cloth cap badges but they are different than the one the NCM's wear. Hope that helps a bit. Somebody actually in the EME branch may be explain to give a better...

I don't know about that. I've seen some guys with sideburns pretty close to that walking around on the tarmac here.  :o
