I've never gone to a ceremony outside of uniform, as the crowds really bothered me. This year, due to events, I want to attend the ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. I know its ok to just put your medals on your jacket, etc.. My question is, do people wear their berets? I've heard...

Things might have changed, but when I did BMQ (in 2006, so not long ago really) PT started after the physical fitness test.. So day.. 2? or 3? And it happens every morning, except when you are in the field. Evening PT happens if you piss off your instructors. You will be running a lot. And when...

I required a scope on my knee for a meniscus tear in.. I want to say 2002. I had no complications from mine, and recovered fully within a couple months. Joined the military in 2006, and spent 5 years as an Infantryman. I did fine, when it came to my knee, but with all your complications and such...

This is perfect, thank you!

I am planning a Europtrip, with the intention of visiting all the Canadian military memorials in the UK, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany. I could use a little help with the planning stage. My googlefu is very weak. According to Wikipedia there are 4 Canadian memorials in the UK...

Congo and the General More on link. It seems someone in a position to make a change is realising spending over $1 billion a year with no noticeable improvements is not sustainable. I wonder if this new policy will be effective, or if as soon as casualties happen if they will be back to hiding...

Hey, I resemble that remark!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6mZhly5tMU Just a funny little story from the UK that I thought others might enjoy.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I can't stop laughing at it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVSBtivbUs4&feature=youtu.be

In your original post, it asks if someone should be able to be removed from an elected position. The answer is no, unless they break the law. Democracy chooses who is in charge, not some one elses "sensibilities" in regards to personal behaviour. If you don't like how someone acts, don't vote...

No one should be able to be removed from office, unless they break the law. This is a democracy. Simply because you do not like someone, or their hobbies, does not mean you can undermine my vote with your drama. This in why I do not care what Ford, or anyone else, does in their private time. If...

Very much appreciated!

So I had to renew my license, and while there I asked about Veteran's plates. The woman at the counter gave me an application form, and told me I would need to bring in my Veteran ID card. I told her I had never gotten one, and she said it was necessary. I called my case manager VAC and asked...

This album was posted on another site, but I figured some of the people here may appreciate seeing it. Tombs of the Unknown Soldier from around the world. Sorry if this thread not the place for it, but it made sense to me.

With all due respect, if someone can't put a protein bar or something similar in a pocket during a patrol then I dunno what to say. One guy in my section said it best when he said, 'A patrol is just a very long walk to find the perfect place to sit down.' There was so much downtime during a...

Its all about the Canex special. Just go to the Canex, get one for like $30. Mine lasted me through BMQ, BIQ, 2 work up training cycles and a combat tour. I gave it to my sister when she went to BMQ and it was still working fine.

As much hate as the RCL receive (and I am not saying whether or not its justified), when I was having issues with VAC, one phone call to the RCL basically fixed everything in an astonishingly short time frame. I am not a member of the RCL (though I keep meaning to change that), and they haven't...

I hate to be that guy, but I've seen too many attention seekers pulling stuff like this. TBH, we have no proof that this was delivered and not just printed off by those who said it was delivered to them. It wouldn't be the first time (remember that woman who carved homophobic slurs into her own...

Wow! What an incredible story!
