Activated - 2. I think we have a couple of Civi/Reservist medics out there - best to include your location 3. Check into the shift schedules in your geography - for example in Ontario there are services that run 28 day rotating schedules of 12 hour day /night shifts i.e. of 28 days you work 14...

Smirk - do you suppose the bright young souls that write this nonsense ever consider it's practical application? Like seriously, I'm expected to have my kids show up in the field in civilian clothes, change into field dress and then carry on? Where EXACTLY do they expect us to store said change...

Really? The Wind Lines I've seen use a VERY heavy cord & Plastic tensoning slab.. I can't imagine threadig this thru the brass Eyelets attached to the outer...its gotta be 1/4 inch or more... plus it mught encourage the not-so-bright to hang heavy things... Still,  thanks! KEY RINGS are  a...

Yes I've learned that one should use a contrasting colour (Not white) but seen the two line sets knotted (with slack)  takes time -or- Left loose (they bunch up a little) , but fast to do

I was going to resurrect a 2 year old post but given "Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 100 days. Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic. ": I wil ask something more specific: When lacing up the 5 man arctic (as in lacing in the...

Wow - this is pretty cool - Now the CF will look like invading russian troops - and to balance this out we will be dressing our Army Cadets in MARPAT (A.K.A CadetPAT) so that they can look like underfunded Georgian troops (The Georgians have been wearing MARPAT since early 2007 I believe)...

Have Patience and good luck - Unfortunately previous service works against you here and the gears of the record system, strained to the max, work against you here. Maybe someday they will put some resorces towards fixing this... Meanwhile you can sign up as a CI but not be elegible for training...

Not quite accurate - Bush dress and Even Battle dress (Pre 78) where modeled on "Field Uniforms" Not so sure what "Recent Conditions" made it necessary. This sort of thing went on in the 80s as well the result then was to get the Cadets to sew on RCAC Round patches on their OG107. and good...

Seems to me that the essence of all of this field uniform fun lies in a state of denial - Yes we want to dis-associate our Army Cadets from the Canadian Forces, (We do - don't We???) but no one has looked at this from the public's lens.  Newsflash folks: Joe Public, even Little Cadet Johnie's...

Reaching out to the Brain Trust with a question from one of my Cadets: "Can a young person, say age 16 to 18 be a member of the Army Cadets and the Reserves at the same time?" I know this WAS possible - 'cause I was, as were many of my pals and I cant seem to find any legal reason why not. Is...

Can't help but be curious - what piece of kit are you looking at??? Harris?

I always thought of the Grohmann Boat knife as being best used in the national boat, a Canoe. They make supurb canoe tripping knives - easy to sharpen in the field, great for preparing a nice stew, and comes with that beautiful leather sheath that hangs well and does not get caught up. Perfect...

Catalyst - I'm open to all sorts of ideas around the orienteering. Its one of the few bits I can see hope on, so I'm looking forward to that Gun Runner - PM me with an email address - two of us wrote the origonal CIL / CIC Orienteering instructor course in 89 - and if I look around I might just...

Well , we finally recieved our hardcopies of the CPU in the mail , and having poured thru all 2 inches of this 81/2x11 coma-inducing tome I don't feel any better. The Air Sea and Army CPUs are virtually identical - and as best I can tell the Army got the worst of it. It's completely unteachable...

I know I'm geting old when _I_ can't tell the difference... was up in Borden last week was shocked at how young the course candidates looked at the Cannex. We expect far too much of the civilian world - and its not worthwhile to "educate" them. Let's hope that all can conduct themselves well...

For our Cadets - Name tags are no longer provided, along with a series of other cutbacks - I can't even get medical / first aid supplies anymore. (But I'm not bitter...) Take care!

Any sources of DEU name tags in the Toronto Area? Thanks in Advance

I expect that its a reference to the unfortunate genetic results of procreating in too cozy a gene pool and the unfortunate mental results of such I do know of a guy who had a hobby farm - he did not "trade" his males off and eventually the offspring forgot things a little too often - important...

minor point but it may be helpful Vista packaged with OEM (HP etc) builds comes with downgrade rights. Yes, microsoft hates you doing this but you are licenced to load XP on your notebook and eventually go back to Vista Not that anything is wrong with Vista (if you are careful & patch) Read...

No, I'm not taking that bait...  ;D  I too have used - "change is good. Are you afraid of change?" - as a chant to justify whatever measure one tries to invoke. I understand that you like the quality & direction of the Green Star materials - We differ on that and that's cool. I am, however...
