    Air Weapons Ranges Near Bagotville

    Quick question:  When the folks of 409 and 410 Squadron need to do air weapons training with their CF-188s, they've got the Primrose Lake AWR just north of Cold Lake itself.  What about the people in 425 Squadron in Bagotville?  Do they have an AWR they can use or what happens?

    My thanks.

    Radar Operators on Ground

    This wouldn't be for an LCMR system, PuckChaser.  This would be an army operated system that would be designed to monitor and track aircraft (like helicopter) for both defensive and offensive operations.  Would this be the province of 4 AD REGT?

    Drum Majors and the Stadacona/Naden Bands

    Quick question for those who may know: Do the Stadacona Band of MARLANT and the Naden Band of MARPAC allow the position of Drum Major to exist in their units?  And if so, are the Drum Major appointment insignia worn on their uniforms?

    Radar Operators on Ground

    Due to the server not allowing me to do a search on this, I have to ask it this way: Who exactly in the Army handles all mobile radar systems, both operating and maintenance?  Or is this part of the ATIS Tech trade in the RCAF?

    Japanese school girls, German Panzers and WW2 Japanese warships...

    I remember seeing this anime when it first came out.  Definitely strange . . . and to believe that "tankery" is a girl's sport in the universe of this story.

    Question About the Army Service Uniform

    Question About the Army Service Uniform

    A question about the officer's rank insignia on the shoulder straps:  Is the background color of the rank straps supposed to be in the approved color of the branch of service (i.e. light blue for infantry)?

    Tom Clancy, 1947-2013, R.I.P.

    I loved everything he wrote up to The Bear and the Dragon and Red Rabbit.  Never got into any of his collaborative works, though. Rest in peace, sir.  You made our world a little brighter and inspired many.

    11 Wing?

    My thanks. Most likely, 11 Wing seems to me to be the framework for a divisional tactical aviation wing to mate up with 1 CDN DIV; after all, why would it have a signal squadron attached to the headquarters element?

    11 Wing?

    To anyone who might know about this: I was visiting the Governor General's website and scanning through the Canadian Heraldic Authority listing of badges when lo and behold, there was an entry for an 11 Wing based out of Montreal. Does anyone have any idea what this particular formation - if...

    Two Canadian warships collide during exercise manoeuvres en route to Hawaii

    I'll bet the Navy's kinda regretting having sunk Huron back in 2007. Just cut the hangar off and replace it; they did it with ship's bows before.

    Shooting rampage at Fort Hood

    Actually, now that you've mentioned it, E.R., that sounds even more befitting than just letting him rot: TOTALLY cut off all news reports on him and make him disappear from the public eye forever. After all, how could he be a "martyr" or any sort if people don't know his fate?  ;)

    Shooting rampage at Fort Hood

    Agreed.  In this case, he doesn't deserve "martyrdom."  Let him rot in Leavenworth.

    CFB Gagetown now called 5th Canadian Div Support Base

    Keep the physical structures and locations the same name.  Rename the ASGs into DISCOMs or whatever they dream up. As I voted on the CTV poll at the link, Gagetown is Gagetown.  Nuff said.

    1 Air Movements Squadron

    Thanks for making that clear.

    1 Air Movements Squadron

    Quick question:  Is 1 Air Movements Squadron in Winnipeg (formerly Edmonton) still an active unit or has it been disbanded?  And what about any of the other movements units outside 2 AMS in Trenton?
