Ammo Tech is 2 years in rank for some.  We are so short right now it's not even funny.  There is someone I know that I suspect will be a Sgt with only 4 years in the trade.  This isn't the case for all of us but .......

For Ammo Tech: The next selection board is being held soon.  Remember you can apply anytime.  The next course is suppose to start in November 2006.  For all interested get your applications in sooner then later.    I am currently on course in Borden, and will be here until at least October...

I think it was Bill Graham who in the clip in parliament was saying something to the effect that "the PM needed to reverse his decision so that the country can take part in the mourning..."  HEY BILL, CHECK YOUR CALENDAR, NOVEMBER 11TH IS THAT DAY THAT QUITE A FEW SEEM TO FORGET ABOUT  Did you...

Absoluely agree 100%

That is bang-on my friend.  I could not have said it anybetter myself.  Also quick point to non-serving types, if you start to question the mission what does that say to the families of the fallen. They died for nothing?  Those questions should be asked well after the mission.

Thanks a lot for the info.  I am probably going to line "my ducks in a row" so to be able to buy. Not on your life  ;D  There is 1 guy who just left Battalion to start the ammo tech course who wants to return.  That's it :P  Also, next course starts in September......If your interested. Cheers!

Anyone know if there is a waiting list for PMQ's in the Halifax Area? I heard that nasty little rumour and was wondering.  Not sure If I'll have the down payment to buy on my posting this fall and am curious if I need to pray for an available PMQ.  For the record, I am hoping for Bedford so...

I know in 02 it was insane.  I was an 84 gunner and carried 2 rounds the tube, pers weapon, 12 mags, 2 nades belt of C6 etc.....That doesn't include 12 Litres of water.  Lets just say a lot of us needed 1 or 2 hands to help get up.  I'm sure it is much different now but man o man, I actually...

Should not be a problem.  An officer from my old unit was all "sleeved up" ATT58 is dead on with his resonse.  Also think about this, during your application faze, testing, and interviews, wear long sleeves if you think it may hurt your chances.  Once your in, your in.  Just nothing visable and...

Where they the ones who had to go home and explain to their spouses why they were sent home?  Tell me that wasn't a difficult "talk"

Alright here's a new one...I think, I am curious as to how the list goes for your CFAT Results in regards to qualifying.  I remember getting a print out for what I qualified for back in 1995 but..........that was a long time and many beers ago.  Top being hardest to qulify for.  I am looking for...

Four years ago another female infanteer was thrust into the spotlight, much to her dismay.  I had the pleasure of serving with her.  She was a hard worker, no better no worse then most.  The Macleans crew was suppose to do a story on the platoon in general if I recall.  Sure enough, they made it...

Nah, I'm pretty sure you love it there!  With all that snow and cold and.........flatness............who wouldn't love it there  ;D

My thought and prayers are with the families and injured right now.  Being a former 2 VP member who recently moved on I personnely know four of the soldiers including Cpl. Davis, R.I.P. Tim is a very close family friend as well.  These are trying times for all and I wish a safe return and speedy...

Hey guys, quick question, anyone know nay info about this??  It was a ring awarded to very few GG Foot Gaurg soldiersduring or after WW1.  Thanks.

Battlefield 2, by far is the greatest.  I am actually addicted and not looking too forward to returning to work after leave ends on Friday.

Background: Posted from Shilo to Borden.  Wife and I decided to drive both of our cars (2002/2003)  The morning of the second day (Thunder Bay) one of the cars decides to break down (Warranty work thank god).  Now being the Saturday of the long weekend, no mechanic around until Tuesday.  Same...

You do not have to be in recce platoon.  We just sent a number of individuals from our Battalion who are not in RECCE.  I am sure they are not far away but never-the-less.  A little bit of advice a sniper in my Battalion once told us...."If you want to be a sniper, make yourself known to the...

Funny how the motivation changes for some so quickly. You're bang on.  I remember that tour fondly.  Seemed there was no talk about money or medals before we went.  Just the desire to actually do what we are trained to do.  I would go back in the mountains tomorrow for NO EXTRA MONEY, yes I am...
