been out a very long time so i am sure the rules have changed. It use to be the member would not get paid for the Monday to Friday part of their training, as they were drawing a pay cheque from the Civil Servant side of the house, they would get paid weekends and holidays. Put a memo into...

I strongly disagree, our world famous socking wearing PM showed up the Queen's funeral. He was dressed in matching socks and underwear, and he performed as the Piano Man in some hotel bar. I am sure the real Piano Man ( Billy Joel ) was offended and outraged and mostly likely more than the...

Looking at all these posts. F-18, F-15, F-16, F-14, A-10 ( I love the A 10 ugly and more ugly) , it would not have mattered the RCAF would have still been flying one of those models well past the best before date. Canada is famous for buying once every other generation for major defence...

my question. What happened before the video was running? What did the camera miss or not show us? Crazy day for everyone there involved

A friend of mine way back when, was interviewing to join the OPP. He was asked questions that went along the lines of this. Do you have problems with getting up at 530AM for PT, breakfast, room inspection? Do you have a problem wearing a uniform and being told how to wear it? Do you have a...

He is going to show up at some mess and no one will believe his wings, cap badge and trident all on the same uniform. All he needs is dolphin wings now. Some Wallys have a new role model to out fake. Wow that man has done some serious training and some serious education.

Maybe I am more enlightened or more open to change. I never cared who my army roommate wanted to date, or who was dating who in my platoon. I never cared if my bosses were male or female. Never cared if they dated the same sex, or the opposite sex. All I cared about that my life and life style...

from the web site https://www.warhistoryonline.com/featured/tears-of-the-sun.html?chrome=1&Exc_D_LessThanPoint002_p1=1 While realistic, what’s depicted in Tears of the Sun is fictional. The film repurposed real-life events that occurred on a Canadian Joint Task Force Two mission in Columbia...

I use to work at the VIP photo line at the Hamilton Air Show in the 90s so I got to hang out in the VIP lounge afterwards and meet the pilots of various groups. I forget what US team was there but they were saying if the Snow Birds had the high power jets and did the same style of show they...

Some Reserve Unit messes have people from present serving to past serving members but also members of the general public who like to support the local unit. Some are real characters and a lot of fun at mess dinners and functions. Others are very boring people. Some messes can be very boring...

If you are really concerned. Ask to speak to the Chief clerk of your unit and they will have the latest information and have knowledge of how to the paperwork. If still confused go to talk to the Padre, they know the rules because of the duty of informing next of kin and who gets informed...

Snowbird replacement project has been kicked around the clouds for decades. One report has the cost at 1.5 Billion dollars Canadian. Says the government has no wish to spend that because of blow back by the tax payer Instead spending 30 million to upgrade them...

The guns are already paid for , the OPP use a version of the C8 without the scope and the full auto. DND has the weapons in storage, they are already bought and paid for by the tax payer, time for the departments to wake up and share the stored assets. They already got retooled and...

One of the issues I have read about was the lack of police issued fire power. What would it take to remove some of the C7s or C8s out of storage and modify them to semi automatic weapons and give them to the various Police Departments. The RCMP keep saying it is a budget matter that there is...

Innocent or guilty no longer matters in the court of public opinion and in this day of public perception being the only judgement that matters. If he is innocent, every mother ( yes mothers have opinions) will always judge the person by what they see on google. People will think of safety...

Not knowing much about Artillery other than what I read. So how large of a range would you need to test fire rounds with round with a range of 100km plus?

I find it funny on a dark way that even the Taliban now suffering terrorist attacks. ( Not sure what side is the good or the bad side) No one can control that country.
