Whether you are a monarchist or not, you still have sworn allegiance to the Queen and her heirs, regardless of personal opinion. Any sort of slanderous statement made in public or on public forums are not my idea of holding to your oath of loyalty and 'devoted support'. Yes, everyone is...

Pardon me I ment to say BMQ/SQ. As for the SQ troops, they were told they'd be part of their units up until they arrived. I know several officers from my unit who fought to get the troops back so don't say it was the units that didn't want them. And they are fully qualified to go into the field...

Good ex. Unless you were a troop only BMQ qualified and happened to be combat arms. They did dishes for 7 days straight I'm told. Makes me wonder what the svc btns were doing? And the army wonders why it has problems with retaining new troops...  ::) split topic so as not to high-jack the CS...

Perhaps a CF wide mandatory fitness program? You could have several groups and levels of program. For example if you meet 19 pushups, etc you go on the lvl 1, make 30 lvl 2, make 40 lvl 3, above 50, exempt. Something similar to that. That way people would have something to strive towards. If...

The minimum requirements are there simply to ensure that the member is fit enough to do the basic physical activities on BMQ without dieing, or that some one will be fit enough to perform their duties. It is not an indicator of how fit the CF wants an individual to be. The combat arms have...

The soles of the WWBs have excellent traction when you walk on dirt/mud/grass/etc. The material used for the Vibram soles were made harder to increase durability. The only problem is when it comes to walking on ice, due to the hardness of the sole there is little traction. However, they were not...

That would be awesome.

There used to be a base at Chilliwack. Now there is just the ASU, however there are talks about converting some buildings and creating a trg centre as opposed to having just a STC in the summer.

Look at the title of the page, Land Forces of Britain, the Empire and Commonwealth. Not part of the CF and not an official gov. web page. Also, they have had units sent overseas during times of war, which doesn't equate to being part of the CF. 1921  RCMP designated a "dragoon regiment" When...

I'm sure there's an award somewhere...

Calgary is still part of Canada last I heard :P Growing up in Canada compared to England is a moot point, Canadian English... I wasn't trying to toy with your freedom of expression, you can speak any language you wish, however you are in Canada, so why not make the effort? yar.

You don't like using the 'extra' U's and find lieutenant insulting? Well now, that is english. Color is not an english word. American-English yes, but we're not Americans now are we? They seemed to have changed a few things as I guess they tried to get away from the British as much as possible...

Sometimes there is no top candidate. My BMQ we didn't get graded or top candidate as it "may make certain individuals feel bad".

i prefer the sierra and olympia soles.

My point is that no one really seems to care how much the government wastes. However, as soon as the GG spends money, the drastically small amount in comparison, everyone is all up in arms. Also, the LGovs are responsible for representing the Queen to the Provinces not the GG. I think there is...

Boydfish, so you are saying that the PM should never leave Canada, as he represents Canada, and has no business galavanting around the planet as well then? Also, the GG IS our defacto head of state whether you like it or not. A lot of you are beginning to remind me of school girls in...

The belaclava/neck-gaiter was issued two or three weeks ago to the entire Regiment through our CQs. Vancouver Island, BC.

How long is the armoured coarse? Is it held in Gagetown?

Honour in the Queen's English, not honor.  ;)
