Well on that note, I do agree.

The point is, he's the Minister of Veterans Affairs. Under VAC the only 2 groups qualify: Members of the Canadian Armed Forces (and it's previous iterations under British rule etc.) past and present, and the RCMP. The only reason RCM Police are the only police included is that way back in the...

Most of your answers can been easily located on the official Canadian Armed Forces recruiting site FORCES.ca My advice, attempt to quit smoking and/or work on your running and cardiovascular endurance. You will need it. If you get winded and have to stop after 10 minutes at a fair running pace...

I recently spent a week at Valcartier. Food was pretty damn good.

Not sure what the exact exemptions are but the Canadian Firearms Act doesn't apply Status FN in full. Its that whole "way of life/need to survive"/"no hunting restrictions" stuff. It seems they have it easy when it comes to Firearms, I doubt its true, apparently they don't need a PAL either.

Interesting. I haven't had issues or interrogations about mine either so I really didn't care for what he said.

I was required to declare any tattoos upon enrolment and was required to document what they were and their location. I have also heard from a friend that on the annual medical, they require you to redeclare, document, and apparently they photograph them so that in the event you're blown to...

I said a year or more. Also, Depending on your unit, some will show you some drill, weapons cleaning. Ask your Chain of Command if there's anything you can learn or be taught for the time being until you're course loaded.

RCMP unlike most other police services also have Battle Honours. For him to include is disgraceful career as Chiefs of Police for London, OPP, York is sad. He's trying to justify the fact he doesn't know squat about his job.

More from the Twitter machine: "@davidakin: Lots to read in feed of APTN reporter @Osmich. Don't see reports of a tank yet." "@RussDiabo: @davidakin @Osmich it was an armoured personnel carrier w/ a big *** gun mounted on it. There is a pica round." ... "@davidakin: Help me out: Some...

I'm not Twitter mastermind but some of the stuff they're saying  is absolutely absurd. "Wouldn't have firebombed their cars if they didn't pepper spray/aim rifles at children" Ahahaha right. You're not convincing anyone.

You've been sworn in so you would have to do a Component Transfer. If it is what you want to do, do it. Note though, a CT can take up to a year or more. If it makes you feel better, I had to sit around too although I did PT with the unit, learned how to use the weapons while I waited for a...

SQ is now called BMQ-Land because not all trades required the SQ portion. BMQ-L is where you learn your dirt. Sleep Deprivation, and weapons. C7, C6, C9, Grenade, Carl G/SRAW. Vehciles SMP, Dismounted Offensive formations and some classroom stuff as well.

I think uzi means easier in the sense that the applicant would already understand Law Enforcement, and what will be expected during the interviewing and assessment stages. That and Academy/College/Recruit Class will be slightly easier. Nobody said it'd give them a leg up... But it does in some...

LOL

/rant The really big piss off in last fiscal year was the fact that, understandably CIC use only 2 uniforms for everything DEU and CADPAT but they don't require anything fancy or functional just to babysit a bunch of kids. (yes I'm aware there's more to it than that and some have prior mil...

Second this, If you're anything but a parking control officer or security guard doing minimal movement... Zippers are fine. Start getting into Protective Services, Police, Military and you'll either be getting them repaired every 3-4 months or having to replace the boots entirely (repair...

The system is HRMIS: Human Resources Management Information System. Until your personel file has been created and your Service Number is active in HRMIS, they can't do anything or give you anything.

I guess some units just have people with better common sense  than others. Apart from my frustration with the whole Boot fiasco; we've been told to handle the ICU no different than the current Combat Uniform unless otherwise specified.

I am a nonreligious folk. Marked so on all my papers. When I received my I.D. Discs they were stamped with "JEW". Never been bothered to change it because frankly I stopped caring about that stuff beyond High School.
