    cameron: As an ex-cadet myself (left last Feb as soon as i had turned 16 in Jan. and joined up to the reserves), I completly agree with what you are saying here. Army Cadets has turned more boy-scoutish organization. Air Cadets get to fly (limited to gliders I believe), Sea Cadets get to...

    McCallum suggests shift in Iraq war policy

    As much as I would like to see our boys go do what we are trained to do, I don‘t exactly support this Iraq ordeal.

    Well, it‘s just a modification, so nobody is getting paid and you can work at your own pace. One of the Tour of Duty (www.tourofdutymod.com) mod coders is Rob Prouse who created the site www.commando.org - I could ask him to join and he could help you out for HL. Also, I can provide you with...

    Beat me to it DnA! kurokaze, that would be great! We are in need of a coder. Half-Life uses C/C++ as it‘s coding language and also OpenGL, but we don‘t need much (OpenGl that is). Post on the forums or please e-mail me at [email protected] or (msn) [email protected]

    The Reserve Thread- A Merged Collection of Q & A's

    Dixon: When I was in Army Cadets, I heard a lot of BS about how you could get automatic promotion to Corporal if you achieve WO and NSCE and Master Cadet. I found out that that isn‘t true. But, I‘m not sure... your thing could be something that I don‘t know about.

    The Reserve Thread- A Merged Collection of Q & A's

    1. I joined when I was 16! 2. I was an Army Cadet for 3 years (left as a Sergeant), all it did that is good for the army is that I knew the rank structure, knew organization (i.e. sections, platoons, companys, etc.), drill, and polishing boots! 3. If you got those in the cadets, they are good...

    The Reserve Thread- A Merged Collection of Q & A's

    I believe that your BMQ and SQ qualifications carry over to reg force, but not MOC (well, Infantry anyways). That is what I have been told because I also plan on joining reg-force upon completion of high school.

    I need some help with some questions

    On my course this past summer, we never had a PT test. The only PT requirements that I had to meet was the test at the recruiting center where you have to do 19 push-ups, 19 sit-ups (in under 1 minute), and do this stair walking thing (which is extremely easy and I think it‘s only for taking...

    enlisting in reserves

    When I went to join up, I was only in Grade 10 and required 3 more credits for the required amount. BUT, I would have those by the time I would conduct my training if I passed my classes. I believe that the issue was the aptitude test. It was designed for people with an education that is...

    The Queen‘s Presentation of the Argyll‘s new colours!

    Ah, thank you for the article Bedpan! Yes, I thought that the ceremony went quite well from the view of the floor. But, there are always some things that couldn‘t be fixed really that were problems such as the noisy crowd where we could barely hear the CO‘s commands. The Queen was 30mins late...

    The Queen‘s Presentation of the Argyll‘s new colours!

    I would just like to inform you all that you can watch the Queen‘s Presentation of the Argyll‘s new colours live today at 1430 on CH (Hamilton local TV station). If you don‘t get that channel, I am sure that a national news channel might have highlights or maybe even live coverage. I am in the...

    More Noise about Kit...

    I was issued a US 2-quart canteen and also a goretex bivvy bag that you put your sleeping bag into when sleeping. That was just my unit, but some others also got them including people from the Windsor Military Band! I am on leave right now from the SQ course at Meaford (I finished the BMQ...
