    Thanks for the reply. Hopefully, I like the LCIS/lineman part of the job.

    Close Combat Vehicle: Canada to buy another AFV (& keeping LAV III & TLAV)

    I thought Cavalry Scouts drove Bradleys. Also, the Puma is part of the German Armoured core.

    Close Combat Vehicle: Canada to buy another AFV (& keeping LAV III & TLAV)

    I have been researching the CV90 and Puma for a while and in my unprofessional opinion on the matter of tanks (I only know kinetic mathematics and basic tank warfare principles) I would say the CV90 fits Canada's wants and needs and will most likely be the victor unless the program is cut or the...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    When will this take place? For example will Sig Ops/Linemen/LCIS techs be effected by this now or in 1 year or 2? Or will this transition take place in as little as a few months. Also, will this amalgamation happen in the regulars more so in the reserves? I can imagine how the reserves might...

    "The Hurt Locker" new feature film on EOD/bomb squad GIs in Iraq

    If you listened in the movie you would hear that the Team Leader was fully qualified on the weapon and he had been in Intelligence for 7 years. As for the "ranger" I am not sure it takes much qualification to hold a telescope and be a spotter.

    Hey look, another one...

    One thing that sucks with the CF is the amount of information that's clear and the amount of information that's available publicly. For example, there's a 50+ page debate on the use of CF uniforms on these boards just because no one has bothered to clearly outline the policy and procedure on a...

    Cali to potentially legalize marijuana for everyone.

    Yes, because anti-marijuana laws and Ontario's new anti-smoking laws are so "draconian and frivilous" (spelt frivolous). Sorry, but if that isn't pro-smoke then you need a new vocabulary to articulate what you meant in your last sentence. In one sentence you called anti-smoking/anti-marijuana...

    Cali to potentially legalize marijuana for everyone.

    Sorry, I had a brain fart, I looked back at my text and it's acetaldehyde (with it's carcinogen's included) which, is found in both cigarettes and marijuana but put into the lungs heavier with a joint than a cigarette. Also, because of its lower combustibility it contains 50% more carcinogenic...

    Cali to potentially legalize marijuana for everyone.

    In some states of the U.S. police can take blood tests in a road stop. Many people have complained about this since they end up with infections, etc because the police officers are untrained individuals in taking blood and it is a huge violation of your rights. I only say the last part because...

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    "At 31 Canadian Brigade Group in Southwestern Ontario, the budget has been cut by about 16 per cent. That works out to about $2.5 million on its $18.2-million budget, according to news reports. The brigade also cut 25 full-time jobs. Details about the impact on other reserve units across the...

    Imagine this...in Canada....

    Jeez, there needs to be some laws around protests near processions and funerals. This reminds me of that family in the US of the Westboro Baptist Church that frequently do aggressive protesting at funerals of fallen soldiers with signs such as "God hates America" "US Marines = Fags"...

    How to Maintain Skills and Unit Cohesion while on PRes Shutdown

    Can anyone inform/direct me to a full list on the rules and regulations of Reservists concerning their equipment and uniforms off-duty and off the premises of a DND building? I used the search function and read about people going to hockey games in CADPAT but I could have sworn I read somewhere...

    Reserve Question (Co-op/Weekend Courses)

    Thanks for the post everyone. I got enrolled earlier last week with a unit. It wasn't a merit list issue by the way just the fact that the units are actually full for 2 years.

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    Who are you talking to? I don't see your post pertaining to anyone in this thread. No one is complaining about job time, full time or anything else other than lack of training until late next year. You just started yelling at the corner in the room and now everyone is staring at you.

    WW1 VC Winner saves life of ...... Hitler?

    People argue that the butterfly effect will happen and what was supposed to happen will happen. (Maybe Herr Hisler? hahahaha) As for the article it's very confusing for sure but I think it sends the wrong message. "I'll shoot this guy because he could be the next Hitler" I admire Tandey for...
