I've been awaiting surgery on my leg since tour in 08. I would gladly pay someone right now to just fix it so I could lead a more productive life. Unfortunately I am stocked on a list with every person in the province requiring orthopedic surgery. I've been told another year at least to even see...

They still put a Stryker brigade where we had less than 600 men. A few more teeth.

"Another bone of contention raised by the Americans was Canada’s woeful teeth-to-tail ratio for those troops actually deployed in theatre. According to the book, barely 600 Canadians out of a contingent of 2,830 were sent on combat missions outside the wire. The rest of our soldiers presumably...

I really hope interrogator Staff Sgt Smyth has been brought in and Magnotta is spilling the beans about everything. That's my hope anyway.

I wonder if he does birthday parties?

300 milpoints.

Coulda been worse John Brother....coulda happened in a LSVW! ;D

And remember...you don't have to join the army to be a part of it! http://forcesready.ca/2011/07/31/you-dont-have-to-join-the-army-to-be-a-part-of-it/

Still nothing.... Maybe it's just me being accustom to instant dissemination of information that many would deem very important..... or maybe they need to work on their communication department. I contacted the Equitas Society and Miller-Thomson who also aside from directing them to this link...

I had a criminal record, got pardoned and joined. He should go try to get a pardon and go from there. Best of luck.

I also believe any combat arms soldier should be very proud of the role they played. Having said that you have a capbadge and medals that should do the talking for you. People who require telling stories usually are not proud of their role, their capbadge, and decorations.

I want Geddy Lee as our Hon Col!! Make for great smokers!

We had a very Snr NCO at the mess tell us if we were gonna argue with him (over a sports game none the less) "We best get some sand on our boot's". I guess if you have a tour on a satellite base like this; you can get away with that statement for a while...until he mouthed off to another WO and...

On a lighter note; I'm sure the ribbing he is gonna get once better will hurt almost as bad as the wound!My father in law was a GGFG way back when and of course called telling stories of other such incidents.

Hope the guy is doing well. What an unlucky turn of events!

I find it all pretty pretentious. I couldn't agree more. Same as this if you haven't been to Afghanistan shut up thing. Anyone who posts that kind of drivel is a loser looking for attention. Wow you've been overseas to do your job....my f'ing hero.

I hate that one as much as "My daddy fights for your freedom".  What a bunch of B/S.

I'm sad to say as soon as I heard this bomber command bar; all I could think was what a great way for the current government to appear to be looking after vet's before their summer break. Political smoke and mirrors as far as I'm concerned.

So dumbing that down there is no requirement in the future layout of the forces under force 2013 aside from individual augmenters. So basically Res Armd recce is a augmentee battalion for the GD positions? What is the 2013 plan for the future IRT the res armd recce units? Is 2013 nothing more...

I'd support Georges statement actually. A few things come to mind one off the top of my head was watching a young infantry officer plan an attack on a mock up afgan village. He had plenty of thing avail to him for his attack and decided to park his zulu vehicles and tanks 2km outside the...
