A 2 year stint on the ground before going to your trade... are you crazy.  Many people who join the CF have no desire to be a grunt, and doing that would make recruiting that much harder.  Take me, I'm 34 and joined FSC because I wanted a good trade and a good career... but if for a second I...

No not at all.  I think there are many people on this site who have a great deal of experience and way more than I'll ever get as an FSC tech.  But I'm just stating my opinion on the C-7 and the AK series of weapons.  Because this an Canadian army forum most of the people here will only hve...

The C7 is a good weapon, designed in the 50's but still a great weapon.  And with the American firearms industry creating more and more products for it, it'll be around for years to come.  Are there better weapons out there, sure.  I'm not an expert on the subject, but I think the G-36 is equal...

I just finished reg force basic in june, and you should the civy cloths you need for at least 3 or 4 days.  They have a common lock up and your stuff will be safe there is you put a lock on it.  Also don't forget that when you pass basic they ship you off right away and you might not get home...

Hey I'm back online... the site looks so much better!!!! I have easy question that for some reason I can't get a straight answer for here at ST-Jean basic.  Do all army trades take SQ after basic, or is it just combat arms trades?  I'm going as a FSC tech, and just wanted to know.  I've asked...

Well its certianly not for women‘s right. Which going backwards everyday, now that religious leaders are free to promote their sexism, it won‘t be long belong before women loss any right to vote, drive, or even attend the schools. You just to watch any report on Iraq, and it details the deline...

Just want everyone needs more people going to jail trumped up charges. It was P2P that made the recording industry lower their prices, making it illegal won‘t stop it filesharing. But it might be the break they need to raise those prices back to the 20.00 or more it was just a short time ago.

I‘m heading to St Jean on saturday, and wanted to knw what the rule was on sunglasses? Do they let you use them while your there, and if they do is their a style that they prefer?

"Amazing when you think that back in Sir John A‘s time polaticians didn‘t get paid at all...they had to have a day job as well as run the country. Kind of makes you think that they actually cared about the country instead of their own fat faces." Yeah, and were all rich too, and could afford to...

When anyone does something they know they shouldn‘t they want it done fast. I‘m disapointed that Base staff would let this go though without letting anyone know. But when has Canada, really respected it‘s past.

Yeah I think if M8 goes into production, it would be way better than the LAv-105/MGS. BUt its tracked and it‘s a tank and that does work with the Liberals and people they apoint to make the dscission in the CF so it won‘t happen.

Since we‘re on the subject, what about shower gel? I never use soap, and more just shower gel. If I bring with me,a nd keep it for for my personal use, will they take it away? I totally realzie everyone has too have the same locker display, its just part the training.

ETA or Basque seperatists have only been killing people connected with Spanish gov‘t, and this would be be step in the wrong direction for them. So I‘m leaning on AQ. After with ETA connection in Spain, it gives them a cover, and its possible because of history that the ETA will be blamed no...

I was looking at insoles today, and I wasn‘t sure which would be best for CF use, during Basic? Is there a type that works well with CF combat? Just looking for ideas. Thanks

What about FCS techs. How often are they out tours?

Thanks I was just worried about student loan payments. I have money from current job that will cover teh first the month, but wanted to make sure monet would be there for the second month. I think I will move the payment date to the end of month just to be sure. Blackhawk, I finished...

I just got the call today and I‘ve been accepted as FCS Tech for April 5. Wow its a real surprise as I thought I would be waiting at lot longer for that call. Now the question I have is this because I have only a month to plan this, I was wondering when you get paid during basic? I have...

Hey any word on when the NCM Trades will be open again? I was talking with the Kitchener center last week and they said they were still closed until late March/April. But maybe people here have heard something? Interested in SigOp. Thanks

This was really just created by the media. They watch Conan, and saw the peice and a light wen off... saying we can use this!!! So they went out and found people, they knew would answer in just the right way to create a story.

Hey Goerge. If you look at my post your will see that replacement, is from the Toronto Star. That is what they are calling it. I know its not a tank, its not even close. That‘s why I have problems with deal... it smells of kick backs and wasted cash. But then why would trust the liberals...
