Being one of the stripes, one reason you do not fraternize with the troops is that you are never to be in a position where you can take something from them. This is especially true in romantic relationships, and made much worst if the male is an officer and the female is an NCM.

****!t humint, you guys are holding interesting stuff while I‘m on ex... I‘m gonna have to steal a couple of pages from your playbook for our unit ;) BTW, what arrangements did you have to make to get Diemaco to come in?

That‘s an urban legend. Check here: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/kfc.htm

Mr Baker, a chit, as it is being used in this discussion is a medical chit. Basically a waiver from a doctor specifying that you suffering from some condition allowing you special priviledges for as long as your condition lasts. There are other types of chits as well, red and blue come to mind...

I‘d sign up for a tour if I knew I had a job to come back to.. hmm.. seems to be a repeating pattern for us reservists.. ;)

*shakes head*...Sign of a bad officer.

Yes Man, if you haven‘t already, come down to the armoury on Monday night and I can introduce you to some of the officers doing the jobs that Gunner listed above. They can tell you in their own words exactly what they‘re responsible for. PM me and I‘ll give you more details.

Not anymore. Now you have to be a Canadian Citizen to serve in regs or reserves.

Boomer what unit are you with?

****, that would fun for me to go too (if just to watch).. but I‘m on ex that weekend.. crap.

That‘s all well and good, but I‘m not holding my breathe to see job-protection anytime soon...

axeman, I agree. I was re-inforcing medic‘s opinion that a hummer would not be a good platform to tow the 105. I personally have nothing against the hummer. I see it as a good, general purpose jeep. As for whether or not we need them, well I‘m not going to comment on anything outside my area...

I believe that certain airsoft guns are illegal here because their muzzle velocity exceeds some predetermined limit. Can anyone clarify? I have a Glock 17L myself, but it‘s not CO2 powered, it‘s single action. And yes, you can spend a fortune on airsoft. If you have a major chinese mall near...

Do you have any linkage on this?

My Question to you, martin, is why do you want to emulate Canadian soldiers? And as for Cadpat, no, you can‘t BUY the original ones (at least last time I checked you couldn‘t).

This isn‘t the same gun as a C3 (it‘s closest match), which is a full 300kg heavier. Also, the M119 was manufactured by Royal Ordnance, Nottingham, England and the C3 by RDM Manufacturing of Rotterdam Netherlands. Besides, it‘s a moot point, since the hummer doesn‘t have the internal capacity...

I can tell you about my experience. My BOTP course ran over the weekends and then I went for one full week doing "leadership" training. After that I went for 5 weeks in Gagetown doing CAP(R) (Common Army Phase - Infantry training). After that it‘s your MOCs, and the length of that will...

Neither do I... anyone care to get some episodes online?

Love my helmet. It supports my head perfectly when I‘m lying on the ground trying to get some sleep ;)

rookie: You can call them "staff" if you‘re in doubt about the rank. Actually, you‘re probably better off asking them what rank they are if you are unsure. Also, don‘t know any places in Georgetown to do PT, seeing as I‘ve only been there once. But head over to the local armoury and ask...
