RHF, How do you know what dry cat piss tastes like? Wait, nevermind, I don‘t want to know. My fav beer? Carlsberg, not the shyte you can buy here that has just been licensed to be brewed, but straight out of the Copenhagen factory. That or a nice tall pint of Kilkenney. As for local stuff...

RIP

I think I disagree with this statement to a certain extent, but then, I‘m not really sure cause I‘ve not no clue what you‘re trying to say. Are you saying that rates in Canada are lower than the States or what? And "then try to repeat this"? What does that mean?

Korus, "Behind Enemy Lines"? I‘m sorry but I‘ve got to disagree w/ you there. Yeah, it went a little beyond small "inaccuracies" when the pilot "dude" made it through a field of bouncing betty‘s with nary a scratch. I loved how they portrayed the Marines too, since when is a mission voluntary...

xFusilier There are a few problems with your statements: 1. The CRIC or D Coy, 1 PPCLI saw more than enough reservists apply from LFWA, I‘ve no idea why other Area‘s were represented. This was showcased by the many reservists cut at the end of the first month (selection), albeit a few stayed on...

I agree wholeheartedly with Recce41‘s sentiments. There are many issues/concerns that need attention in todays CF from strategic lift, future of the armoured corp, artillery guns, and the list continues. One major concern is the state of the militia today. It is a given that the reg force is...

Dorosh, I would say we look more like the Danes, ever seen their cam? Very relish like, wasn‘t it a Danish company who, under contract, originally came up with the Cadpat design for the CF?

SFontaine, Go for it buddy, maybe you can get a Special Forces contract. How cool would that be? I hear that the US Army has all sorts of cool sh!t to play with. I mean the Canadian Army is pretty small and yeah, I guess their calibre of soldiering is pretty good, but they do need new planes so...

That "survey" is just a campaigning tool. Political parties and lobby groups use them all the time under the guise of surveys when their real intent is to sway public opinion in their favor. Just look at the wording. A proper survey would not provide leading questions, nor give opinionated...

NBK, I do see your point of view but your line of thought is scary. At what point do you draw the line? In WW2 for example, if it had been known earlier that the Jews were being murdered, would you just say that it‘s part of the German culture and we have no right to interfere? I know it‘s a...

In my opinion, yelling at troops has a time and place. Some NCOs use it a lot to great effect, others have a different leadership style (the silent, deadly type). In both cases, there was no less respect on my part for either NCO. Sheila Molina, your attitude is exactly what the NCOs don‘t want...

Korus, Unless you‘ve been there, done that comparing the "dessert" CADPAT w/ the US BDU‘s, shut the f*** up.

All things considered, the program that SNoseworthy mentioned can only help. If nothing else, at least it‘ll give a few MPs some insight into the world of the military and best case scenario, actually keep their experience in mind when the military is being discussed in Ottawa. The biggest waste...

I know a few instructors on a BMQ that just started up. Apparently their game plan is to up the intensity as the course goes on. Also, keep in mind BMQ pertains to all arms and trades of the military so if you‘re expected hard charging infantry type instructing, wait for SQ and your infantry...

Olive, If you‘re a gunner, who works for you? Your profile says your a pte but you‘ve got a little leaf and chevrons on your posts. Are you another fasttrack leaf? As far as comfort in the field goes, or any issues with dress and deportment, it really doesn‘t matter what any QR&O or canforgen...

Notice how we didn‘t have an official stance on the war in Iraq until after France and Germany stepped up? Then suddenly we just jumped on the peace bandwagon cause it was the "right thing to do". I call bulls***. Reading between the lines, it seems to me that the only reason we didn‘t back up...

Despite the fact that I promised myself I would never reply to any thread regarding JTF 2, I‘m bored right now so I‘ll make an exception. Alright, I highly doubt anyone on this board has any firsthand knowledge whatsoever regarding JTF anything. So for all you guys who have goals of becoming one...

My advice? If your number one priority is policing, then do that and THEN figure out if you have the time and commitment to join the militia. But don‘t become a cop assuming that you‘ll be able to parade and attend ex‘s regularly. As far as gaining extra "tactical" knowledge, the infantry isn‘t...

DNA, I think he‘s referring to the room clearing portion. They were using "iron sights" (basically remove the C79 sight and attach a single screw iron sight).

Agreed, we are short of equipment. Nothing new there. But, I wouldn‘t look to Afghanistan as the cause of your simunition deficiency. Maybe you don‘t mean to, but you seem to be insinuating that it‘s due to 3 RCR‘s deployment that you didn‘t have simunition rounds. Think about that for a second...
