    armoured trade

    Sometimes when you have a good driver going across country in the leopard the gunner can get motion sickness. For some weird reason the only timeĀ  I got motion sickness was sitting sideways inside the ARV bowgunner seat going over really hilly terrain while my crew and I were being transported...

    'Hard-sell' navy targets lagging military profile

    I fully agree on the scale.And I think it may have to do with the generation as well.I'm willing to say the generation before me were more inclined to go to sea due to family history at sea.Here I sit at my computer and my great grandfathers picture of him building a schooner is on my wall here...

    'Hard-sell' navy targets lagging military profile

    I think you are right about the OP connection.Coming from a army guy I can see why many kids would be going army.Movies,video games,main stream media have made the combat trades appealing.Join up and kill people.when I think of the Airforce again movies, video games, and combat flying in...

    U.S. Military Deserters in Canada Megathread

    You know I can actually understand maybe a conscientious Objector moving to Canada during the Vietnam draft.I actually can.Some people it would go against all their religious beliefs etc.I get that. What I don't get is men signing up now and when they are asked to deploy they decide they are...

    Sacrifice Medal Mega Thread

    We had to fill out a survey last year while deployed about the changing criteria.The consensus with all my guys was thatĀ  anyone dying in a service accident etc should receive it as well.However they also were asking about service related injuries.Which we said no to as all we could picture is...

    Previous drug use question 2002 - 2018 [Merged]

    The big thing they are trying to find out is if your a addict,if the drugs have made you borderline retarded,or if your past will become a future problem.Go in be honest and they will decide if you make it in or not.Using drugs is a dangerous recreation period.Even more so when it's the guy...

    IRN Media: Brit Chinooks Airlifting Taliban from South to North

    Has anyone else caught on yet?Here they are pointing the blame that Canada and Italy are funding the terrorist not to hurt them.The Brit's are giving them transport. Maybe they realized how dumb the average European/North American is and how our media greatly accepts their thoughts to broadcast...

    I went in and filled out the list with the recruiter during my interview. -Coke -Weed -Mushrooms -Hash -Oil And was in basic 2-3 weeks later. They aint looking for saints.She did express concern about the usage,however at that point of my life (ripe old age of 17)I was bored with all that.I...

    Yep sure is.We have had reservist on work up training as Cpl's with PLQ whom were sent on regular force DP3A.We have also had reservist who had completed Dp3A in a G wagon get the Crew commanding qualification,and just had to do the basic turret operators course and was qualified to crew command...

    "Canadian general vents anger over bombings to Afghan village elders"

    I also asked Mrs Smith about that as well,and expressed that concern.She was quick to reply that in no way would she be trying to get someone in trouble with the COC or have one person who was released there as well as a PAFFO approved.Although she did wonder if a person whom was no longer in...

    Military Messes - A question of authority

    It's different to see someone in the NCM rank actually worried about their mess.I know with most of us could care less if the mess got turned into the CO's personal skating rink. Our mess here in Petawawa is the home of lonely Cpl's the 80's left behind,who somehow thinks you and your buddies...

    CF Ordering 25K "Hybrid (Combat) Shirts"

    Here-here Your right 25 sure isnt a lot. I don't see the exclusion of KAF members when it comes down to "comfort gear" either.Now if they do I'll have to try and pack a extra cadpat shirt in the veh somewhere.The one time we made it back to KAF half my crew forgot their floppy,as it was sitting...

    CF Ordering 25K "Hybrid (Combat) Shirts"

    Yeah apologize for that actually.I understand that this project was probably started 3-4 years ago before the 2011 outcome was decided.And no doubt it's a great product.Should feel nice in under armour without that combat shirt rubbing. As for the tail between our leg's I'm referring to...

    CF Ordering 25K "Hybrid (Combat) Shirts"

    Does it really make sense to even buy for the matter of a year before we put tail between legs and leave?We survived this long without it.In 08 our RSM banned them after guys paid a hefty price for them. Nice shirt if your a fit looking guy/gal.Should look hilarious on our army.
