wow, very well put.  Enough said on that.  :cdn:

Worked both, mech now, Light in '02 tour.  As mech I feel it boils down to 2 things.  1.    As mentioned above you cannot take a light inf guy and give him a Lav, sure he can get out BUT that's it. 2.    Mech guys can drive/gun/command, and get out of the back of the lav.  More combat...

keep in mind I'm doing this purely out of evil fascination......I too, am hoping for the best, but after enough years in this man's army, I know better!  I'm just curious what the realistic expectations are for most of us! >:D

Hey, why not.  Thought we might as well amuse ourselves while waiting..........................  :dontpanic:

To my knowledge Op Apollo ended July '02, Op Athena is the current mission.  :cdn:

Will these rates apply to us? or will the big 6.6 % now and 2.5% in Apr rumor hold true?

Don't forget that the Strats do dismounted as well.  The Strats seem to be a good place to go if u wanna deploy!  This RECCE thing, if it happens, may not be for a while.

For what I've heard, yah I'm an RP,  still.....long story.....,RECCE yes RECCE may be given to the armoured.  They will do it all.  Sad day for the infantry.  That leaves SIGS and 1 MP attached ot the Battalion along with HQ.  Not much of a CBT SUP me thinks.  Realistically, SIGS could be...

ok ok the tac vest def has advantages over webbing but, my last tour, in 2002, was the first of its kind for us in a long long time.  Our front line ammo was at a minimum: 11 X 30 round mags 2 X Frags 2 X smoke As much water as u can carry not to mention the normal, socks, back up sight, field...

If int is interesting u then perhaps your course of study would be along the same lines.....international relations, RMC (military major)  I know that for the UTPNCM program there is a specific list of approved courses.  BPSO should have that.  I know I have a link at work but I am on course (in...

Just so people are aware, this whole "What troops?" well there are hundreds of us in Shilo I will speek for who are NOT I repeat NOT overburdened, overworked, stetched thin blah blah blah.  I am sure most of us would be there right now without question.  As far as keeping military readiness, my...

When you sign the dotted line, you agree to put your personnel wants, feelings and fears aside for what your country tells you to do.  NO US army deserter should be allowed to stay in Canada period.  He's lucky that they no longer shoot deserters.  Now if your forced to join, say conscription...

Average day you ask?  That is the single question I am asked the most about my job.  It is probobly the toughest to answer.  As a "Mech" soldier, most of your time is spent doing vehicle maintenance "make work" and low-level training.  Sure map-and-compass, knopt tying, AFV etc has its place BUT...
