The major problem these days, Canadians are making uninformed opinions and taking a stand on them. If Joe Blow loves to exercise his right to protest anything, overhears some misguided idea that the CF is in Afghanistan to steal there oil or because they want to be more American, he will not put...

I suggest if you are looking at advance preparation, get yourself in shape as per topics on this forum and read as much of this site as possible. That will get your brain and body ready which is going to be your biggest hurdle. When you are of age and apply, you will have an edge on others in...

So based on the concept that it is punishable by death to accept any religion other than islam..........are the christian peacemaker organizations over there with a hidden agenda? ::)

Obviously you are yet another one of the many misinformed public who has come up with their own reasons as to why the CF does what they do. Do you sleep deeply at night under the premise that if we just mind our own business here in Canada, no harm will come to us?

Its amazing to see fellow Canadians taking a stand on why we should leave Afghanistan based on little or wrong information. To me the whole situation can be compared to a school yard and a bully. The bully has been running the yard for years preying on the weak and getting fat off their milk...

oooooo those supply techs........you never know when they will snap.

Forget the elliptical. I bought one because the wife didn't like treadmills and I figured it would do for the days I couldn't leave the kids home alone to go for a run. All it did was make me sweat. I since dropped $1300 on a treadmill to atleast get some cardio but nothing beats a run outside...

You should join the Artillery, we need guys like you to stand between the trails and hold up the cam net  ;D

I reccommend that you go back to the reserve unit and speak to the unit clerk. He/She will tell you what your status is and let you know everything you can do to apply for the regs. Im pretty sure that after two years you would have been released from the unit but start your inquiries with the unit.

Anyway, back on topic........Does anyone else find it interesting that the "Christian Peace Makers" seem to be insinuating that they are the only ones there that want to help. Im not 100% sure on this but I don't think there is a large portion of "insurgents" out there that would kidnap a...

Maybee Im missing something but the "Gun" Batteries arn't all co located at one grid. The concept of having a designated mortar battery (or two) and the other batteries with M777's, would mean only the cap badge on the mortar line is different. Weather its PPCLI or RCHA manning the tubes...

I am a parent who has dealt with situations in which students at my kids school have brought box cutters(because they saw them on the news), handguns and other items to school because (in their defence statements) "they didn't know better." I would suggest you re read these and any other of my...

Or would it not serve a better purpose to keep public schools religion free so that all faiths (or lack thereof) would not have these problems. As mentioned before, the student in question with the Kirpan simply chose a school that catered to his religion. I have nothing against any faith but...

DSB, I agree with everything you have said however it bothers me that there is still school systems that cater to what they believe is right. With the Kirpan ruling, one faiths religiouse beliefs are now defended by a court decision but what about a final court ruling for all the other...

Im looking for a kitshop/surplus store in the Western hemisphere that sells the green Belgian Beret. Im not too happy with the clothing stores pizza hat.

In Kabul we had no choice but to sit in bumper to bumper traffic and just hope that if we can't get anywhere, a VBIED would be stuck elsewhere in traffic too. I am guessing the commanders in Khandahar have also thought of this and hopefully are speaking with the Americans about new...

We all knew the day would come where the taliban would try a direct ied on a lav and I am glad it stood up to the challenge. I spent almost every day of my tour in a lav as an op party and always felt safe. Now if we could just get the air sentries and guys in the turrets protected better. Not...

Or maybee the general public has no idea what the CF does or represents. Canadian's have never had to hide in their basements from a war so its easier to believe "nothing has happened before so we must be safe". Its also easier to believe that the government has deliberately chosen to go the...
