The Warrior program come on under MGen Nick Hall, I just came off my CLC in 1992 and it was put in place. It was the first lecture I official taught. LCol Ike Kennedy ( former PWOR CO) was the OIC of the program. I taught map reading and how to use the protractor to HQ persons.

Sika Post Fix Fast Setting Fence Post Mix - 979-ml Rona sells it, 25 bucks a bag. Depending on the number of posts, it can get costly fast. Ontario Hydro ( or what ever they call themselves today) use a heavy duty commercial product very close to this product, bigger bags, but deeper holes...

I use to follow various Air Shows in Ontario. Anyone have a schedule. I see I missed the Barrie show. Looking to take the kids on a road trip to see planes actually fly. Been to the RCAF Museum at Trenton Hamilton is on the summer list ( Oldest wants to see the Lancaster ) So looking for...

I just learned Stuart Seki MWO died over the weekend. Thoughts with his friends and family.

Saw a strange load this morning on the 417 East as I drove in to work ( Ottawa ) , a civilian tractor and trailer, hauling a smashed up car on the higher point of the trailer and on the lower spot there was what I think was M777 all wrapped in plastic, bubble wrap and other cloth like bags...

I work for a company ( property management group in Ottawa). When I started I got a ballcap, raincoat, pick out any blue work pants that Marks sold, winter coat blue or black from Marks, they had a shirt already with company logo on the red golf type shirt. Then I worn my safety coat to...

I knew that, just it was funny to see this Colonel bring his own AVF pr AVGP on exercise, I think it was like dual work and sales call, showing off the latest toy they were producing

Between the various units and regiments in the CAF, the army has enough pieces of headdress to worry about. Beret, bush cap ( do not know what the new name is for ), forge cap, then the Highland Regiments think they have a piece of headdress for everyday of the week. Balmoral, Blue Bonnet...

I was looking at all the pictures of the LAVs and LAV Models that never were more than a prototype. Does anyone remember the Colonel that use to come to Milcon with the newest model of the AVGP, or LAV type vehicle and it had Ontario dealers' plates on it instead of Canadian Forces plates? He...

Do you have time to finish your education and complete your basic training and trades training? If so get basic out of the way, get loaded on your trades training. Get the job skills and the experience. Then once your education is complete and you wish to change trades and go officer...

I thought it was easy to get up and down while I was standing on the top looking out over the Lake. Then the decision was made and over the edge we went. Then after walking around there, it was the crawl back up the hill and thoughts of how bad can it be to sleep on the sand. But we made it...

if you google it, stuff pops up but some of the information is wrong. You will find all sort of crests and flags, etc, just google the former Militia District etc.

Getting posted is not the end of the world. Many gfs, bfs, and spouses and the family dog and even kids are strong enough to take the posting adventure. They realize it is part of the partners career and going on the adventure. The family dog will find a new tree to mark everyday, the kids will...

Since I started going into Algonquin Park more often in the last 14 years. This is what I have seen : people taking so much gear they needed a rental canoe as a trailer for the excess crap. Watching a youtube video does not make you a canoe expert especially on the Petawawa River and the major...

My best advice, go into Basic with both eyes open, take everything in as you move thru the process and training. Keep both ears turned on so you hear everything. Once you see it and hear it, then engage mouth. Think before you run off at the mouth. Ask a stupid question because if you are...

I did not want to direct this topic sideways with my comparisons to driving a car. Both are legal activities but the rules are not exactly on the same scale or side. You can kill someone with a car and can get a very light sentence, but have a chance of being legal to drive again. You...

Before I say too much here. I am no longer a gun owner in Canada or any where else. Living in the US for almost 7 years has made me change my mind about legal gun ownership. Not for me anymore. I accept that it is just no longer fun for me. So before anyone jumps on me for my next statements...

All programs involving children, and teenagers have these issues to sort thru. Scouts Canada ( formerly known as Boy Scouts of Canada) have law suits filed, some open some closed for abuse Canadian Cadet programs, lots of cases of abuse and court cases Sports programs, too many to even...
