Self propelled guns were retired which left us with no 155mm at all. Im happy with 777's.

My wife was 5 months pregnant when I left for Afghanistan. I provided a list of a few care givers and detailed plans for any eventuality to the padre and then asked my chain of command for a "preferred" leave date. There was absolutely no problems, I went on tour, came home for my block leave...

Although it would look sloppy, there are times I wish that as soon as you login you would get a full screen flashing banner that says STOP....HAVE A QUESTION?USE SEARCH FUNCTION FIRST. It astounds me how on a daily basis, a new thread is started with a topic that has been flogged to death in...

A really sad thought is that if the federal gun registry (estimated at around $2 Billion cost so far) were used instead to buy the estimated 7 million firearms (registered and unregistered as quoted at http://www.garrybreitkreuz.com/publications/GunsinCanada.htm), Every gun could be sold back to...

Has anyone in Pet, seen or heard of plans for the new infrastructure being built for CSOR? Any ideas where its going.......maybee the old airstrip?

After watching the news last night with the Conservatives "edging" ahead, I wouldn't doubt if Mr. Harper didn't call all conservative MP's and threaten them with their lives to keep from making "stupid" statements to the media. The liberals are accusing a conservative MP in Calgary of too much...

Use the search function with every word you can think of to describe the question. Try using google and ask jeeves and if you still come up empty handed, theres a good chance it hasnt been asked before. Tons of reading available here.

I can't think of a single time where an authorized exercise, road move, display, or deployment where a soldier would be put in a situation that they had no recourse but to leave their weapon insecure. Firstly you were issued the weapon for a specific reason, therefore you are authorized to...

Dano-mac, your best bet is either stick to cheapy disposeable razors or bring an electric(saves time waiting in line for a sink). As for the rest of your abolutions, bring what is listed on the kit list and provided your kit is clean, serviceable and displayed in the proper drawer layout, you...

Although we can all speculate as to who might be most likely to be the "victim" of this theft, I would hope that in this day and age this situation is not another example of a cover up to protect a soldiers career or rank. Lately we have seen Lcol's being charged with negligent discharges and...

Since there are so many internet chat rooms out there, I believe the intent of this chat room is to keep some kind of decorum based on informed posts. How else are we going to keep the annoying people just looking for a 5 minute babble fix out.

Oh great, he gets 60 days of food and lodgings on the taxpayers dime and then he can resume trolling. The only possible saving grace is pedophiles arn't well received in the prison system.

Although i'm optimistic, its usually when things are going great that a conservative MP steps on his **** and makes some lewd/crude comment that puts shame on the whole party.

Oh my goodness, imagine any police officer taking personal precautions when approaching a vehicle with unknown occupants... So you feel that several unmarked cars would flash their lights at you to steal your car? Are you saying the officers asked you if you had any weapons or drugs? Boy...

Although any seperation of Canada in my view is disgusting, maybee a measured approach to seperation would take a hell of alot less flack. The seperatists would need to adresse each problem individually in stages before getting their desired result in the end. And that would take decades. ...

As I understand it, the reasoning for not moving 1 CMBG to Wainwright is the community doesn't have the water or sewage infrastructure to sustain that many people and although there is a bit of commute to the ranges from Edmonton, Im sure those posted there would prefer to stay in a major city...

Agreed, the current PT standard is too low and sadly there are still members (all ranks) failing to achieve even that weak standard. Bring up the level, ensure all members meet it, but keep in mind not every member needs to be able to pass JTF tryouts.

My "clerk" comment was in no way a jab at women, but rather I was making the point that with the difference in trades in the CF, a person whos job in garrison as well as wartime, does not require running the 7 minute mile, should be fit as a soldier but not need to be fit as the "ironman"...

Does anyone know if the "problems" a separation would cause, have been addressed by the bloc? The native land claims, portion of national debt, currency, etc. It seems the rest of Canada sees the problems but we havn't heard any responses from the seperatists. If anyone knows of links or can...
