We hear this in Halifax fairly often directed at newer members who have just been issued their DEU.  They may get them in Apr or May, then go on tasking or course and when they get back they get told 'Oh sorry times up for free tailoring, you will have to pay for it or go to a civie tailor and...

While manning Camp Canada at the airshow at shearwater yesterday as the Snowbirds were doing their show 'There's way to much of a military presence here' Run that one through the logi mill

Built a swing set for the Kids and took them on their first camping trip.  Getting ready to take take them camping on Labour day weekend becuas ethey want to go again. H

Yesterday I installed a new storm door, got to use power tools as it is a pre-req for manly stuff to use and impact drill when a simple screwdriver would do.  Today I set up all the new camping gear sans instructions and didn't break anything. Vern:  I need photographic evidence that Darrell...

Just a note on the specialty training available or open to reservists; I know of one unit in particular that has 10 Basic and 2 advanced mountain warfare qualified troops.  It also has 3 Close quarters Combat instructors, 7 Recce Patrolman 2 Advanced Recce patrolman.  It has 5 Urban Ops...

Vern: Where was the good Mr Bush (no pun, slur meant here folks) during all these goings on.  On a related note for all the Crewman in the audience, summer of 2000, I was motoring down the Lawfield corridor with an individual from one of the Armd regiments crew commanding an M113.  The...

the government governs, only so long as the are favoured with the confidence of the house.  If I understand my basic poli sci classes (mandatory arts class) and the talking heads the have been dissecting this for days now, if Parliament says cough up the docs, that is what must be done (with...

Well, washed up Dippers run for the Liberals ;D.  Washed up liberals get appointed to the senate or crown corporations and CHRC etc.  The old PC's just disappeared for the most part and we'll have to wait and see what happens to the CPC members. 

For all the Rad Ops 211 (the real trade) you remember what tuning and loading is and you have your own alignment screw driver for a TD660 out of the old radio relay van. You walk into the museum in Kingston and realise that you trained on almost every piece of Radio Gear they have. You...

Hey there youngun!  15.0000Mhz was always one of my favourites in Recce sqn.

I do have to be careful I suppose.  But then again being as I doing all the grocery shopping and cooking as a way to relax, I could always cause trouble of my own.  It's hard shopping for no Name stuff in cans when there aren't any pictures on the Cans to show me what's inside. As a quick side...

Sig Ops arn't smart enough to wear a unitard.  We'd never be able to figure out how to put it on, and where all the bits and pieces go.  I know I'd be completely SCR***D if it weren't for the fact that I married an RMS clerk who can read the dress manual and explain what it says while I look at...

I think "a sig op" just proved one of my points. Until the powers that be look for the underling reasons / causes for this type of outlook, in a few years the infection will spread to the other two trades getting sucked into this vortex. I'm too far gone to worry about it anymore.  I will be...

I've seen and read that canforgen.  I, too, did not realise we had such a group as the ASAT running around.  The Sig Op / Rad Op trade needs all the it can get, however, having been following this thread in particular and listening closely to the jungle drums around work the the C & E branch I...

Wondering what to do on sick leave with the Olympics wrapping up this weekend.  Recovering from Back surgery with not much to do since I'm not allowed / can't do much in the way of work around the house.  Canada - Slovakia game is on now so that should be interesting.

Bezt boots that I've ever had on my feet are mt Matterhorns.  Next best after that are the SWAT s that I have.  I must be out on the fringe of boot tying because I do the bars on boots as well.  Doesn't work on the Matterhorns b ut works well with the swats.  No knots to freeze in the winter or...

It's the way that the BIS passes the information to the server that presents the problem.  For DND own devices we control all the settings.  We also control the authentication system.  Should your crackberry be lost, stolen even borrowed, then it is now an open access port.  That could allow...
