i have always hoped and thought if any of my friends with children and the notion is there that it better to kill them than to let them live, that the friend reaches out to me and I will come get the kids. as a dad I cannot never imagine being so mad at the kids mom that I figure the best...

seems like a good number to send, we sent 4 M777s, that is almost 1/10 of of total guns. So 8 tanks, and 80 some odd tanks, 30 some odd are running we are sending 10% of the tank force. If we sent 10% of the air force or navy that would have real impacts.

Since they announced another 4 tanks to the Ukraine efforts. I saw this today on line https://globalnews.ca/news/9510170/canada-military-anand-leopards-ukraine-tanks/

Anyone here besides me have pieces of trench art from the First World War? My parents have collected it over the years. Anyone know of books on it or websites? Have ashtrays, butter like knives and match box holder.

Biggest issue with a missile system. Training area and range limits. 1AD had those issues, Petawawa ranges and safety areas were maxed out for any live fires. AA Gun systems, how big of range do you need to operate in and how much becomes restricted air space?

But we are steps away from shooting at targets. Balloons, fighter, bombers are all coming to our borders. With the supply and purchasing systems so out of touch and then the long wait for the items to be built, tested. Time delays. Etc. Do you order it after you needed yesterday, or do you...

There was a RegF kilted Regiment up until 1970. Rumors of a Black Watch Cpl into the 80s was at Gagetown as barrack warden. Never in Gagetown but heard the rumor. A lot of history is lost when Regiments are taken out of service The Militia history predates most of the Reg Force units, some...

A lot of paper work required everyone who read it to just check the box they read it. The General actually checked the boxes that he read the Routine orders, and checked that he paid for his coffee that month. All in Green, if he could take the time to read them, meant you had the time to...

There was a General at LFCA HQ, I do not recall which one it was but ( Hall or Stewart) he signed things off in green ink. If you got a piece of paper with green ink on it you knew it was to handled quickly. No one else was allowed green ink there.

Lots of talk of medals and awards, but with most things the past few governments have killed it off or ignored it. If you joined the military in hopes of coming home with a chest full of medals to impress your non military friends with, you joined the wrong military. Canadian governments like...

Had President Carter been a President in the 90s or 2000s he could of hit the guest speaker circuit and made a killing. But instead he semi retired from public life and went did the stuff he believed in. Building homes for the poor. I always wondered what his security detail thought when he...

I was using it as a price point, quick research shows L119/M119A3 around 2.5 million. Still not talking a huge amount of money to come up with.

I was doing some thinking on this. 19 Res Arty Units, if I got the right count. Simple math, if there was a new gun platform picked. 3 guns per unit, 60 guns that only gives 3 spares across the country. So 80 are needed in my thinking, gives 23 spares, Reg force would need some of those 23...

It is done under the Memorial Dedications for Provincial Highways and/or Sections of Highways. Working on one right now

The SD&G out of Cornwall, and the Hasty Ps, have also done it, was just hoping for some input on what they did, how they did it etc. Hasty P has been helpful but waiting on the association to come in to answer my questions. Maybe other Regiments in Ontario have done it too and might have some...

I am past the MPP stage, now writing the proposal to the MTO and my MPP's office. I know a couple regiments have done this before I was hoping some one here had some experience or knowledge to share.

Cooks, the most unassuming trade. Food can be good or bad, does not matter we eat it, I really disliked cooks in the field kitchens, I always had the night shift in the CP, and I would be up all night and all I could smell was the breakfast cooking, the bacon and all fresh baking for the...

Digital ID? I thought it was already here without Government input. Almost everyone here has some sort of smart device and it tracks you better than anything the Government could come up with. One day a week , I pick up my kids at the ex's home. My phone beeps to let me know what kind of...

Is there anyone here who has arranged or been part of a group that has requested a highway or building dedication? Looking for information with regards to Ontario. Looking to have a roadway dedicated in memory. I know some regimental associations have done this. Anyone here involved? thanks...
