    Policy on Personal Combat Gear?

    And how would you, mr 1 weekend of bmq armoured recruit who will probably put on his webbing once a year (no offence to the true armoured troopers), know how good our webgear is? Don‘t slag someone 1) whose experience you don‘t know, and 2)who you possibly have a minute more experience than. His...

    BUDGET ‘04

    I think soldiers should be wary of this new tax break, it seems like the Liberal‘s are just trying to buy a bit of support from the individual soldier while neglecting to address current and long term concerns. The idea of waiting for a defence review before approving any more defense projects...

    Rucksack Weight

    I get the sentiment, but I highly doubt any fighting is "easy".

    Close Quarter Combat (CQC) [Merged]

    Geoff, You‘d probably be interested in the US Marines program for martial arts. Check out the following link: http://www.defenselink.mil/news/May2001/n05162001_200105161.html or go to www.marines.com and nav to "warriors" then "martial arts".

    Close Quarter Combat (CQC) [Merged]

    Geoff, To a certain extent, you are right. As soldiers, if we are resorting to h2h combat, the proverbial crap has hit the fan and something has gone seriously wrong. But also, as soldiers, ignoring the possibility that you may have to choke the enemy to death is dangerous. I take this view for...

    JTF in Iraq??

    scm77, Your not going to find a correct answer here for many reasons, one of which is I highly doubt any jtf members post here, and if they did, they probably wouldn‘t tell you anyways. Wait til the funs over and someone writes a book.

    CF focus on targeted recruiting.

    I know why your application is taking so long, it‘s cause the recruiters have to sift through pages and pages of your unnecessary periods! :evil:

    My trip to Vienna, or how my liver got pickled

    Franko, Welcome back. That restaurant by the ibis your talking about, was it out the front door and to the right? Sounds a lot like the restaurant my buddies and I hit up.

    has anyone done the 4 week battle school for reserves in Wainwright?

    In terms of training area, Wainwright isn‘t actually that bad. I agree w/ brin11, the mess hall is alright. For field ex‘s, the terrain is generally flat. The only piss off is the crappy town and mr safety bear.

    Federal Budget - Will I know then?

    I can think of a few reasons why it takes so long to process applications: people at CFRC being more concerned with the latest lumbar office chair in the new Office Depot catalogue than actually working on processing applications, stupid brigade and area policies which prevent more courses from...

    Translation: Yes, in certain circumstances the government can send the reserves into war. PHANTOM_FLIGHT:DOZER I‘m curious as to your reasons for asking this?

    Bosnia Landmine Casualties

    http://www.peacekeeper.ca/cavunp4.html This seems to list all casualties of CF ops for the past 50 years, no manner of death is provided though. No Pte Lance there, why?

    Don Cherry Supports the troops! - MERGED THREAD

    I think Don Fairy should shut his hole. He should have called it quits after Rockem Sockem 4, what‘s he at now? 12? Sure he‘s good for Canadiana but someone put a leash on him and only bring him out for parades. We‘ve got enough retards with opinions (myself included at times) without some dork...

    Major-General Lewis MacKenzie CM, MSC, OOnt, CD

    Whether the reserves have a current deployable status or not shouldn‘t be the question. What are the reserves for if they can‘t deploy to a combat zone? If the militia is just a domestic help line for national/provincial emergencies, we may as well turn in all our weapons. This speaks to...
