We're in the old IPTF camp in Bihac proper - now a LOT house. My question is if anyone had a hand in renovating the school in Mala Pec. I was there today, delivering school supplies and noticed a small plaque on it. Wanted to know if those guys wanted a picture or something and if they had some...

Anyone here deployed to Bihac, Bosnia area in around 2000? - I believe it might have been 3 PPCLI. I'm there now and have some questions... Let me know please.

Any comments or help with the photos?

Hello, I am currently in Bosnia and produced this video of our ceremony at the site of the memorial to Spr Holopina (killed in a vehicle accident in 1996). The goal is to fix it up and send it to his family. I can't find any photos of him anywhere. If anyone can help, please let me know...

Ahh... the requisite 'snot nosed LT' comment!  ;) You know, I wouldn't and didn't embarass the RSM in front of anyone. Her comment was "find a reg that says you can..." so I did. If you have a good relationship with your RSM, you can do things like that. Hopefully. And no, the justification of...

I got it all sorted out! Thanks. I found a Task Force SOI that gave me the answer I wanted. It was VERY satisfying to show that to the RSM... VERY satisfying. Cheers!

Hello, Currently serving overseas in a small contingent and we are having the same arguement. If anyone can please provide me with the CANFORGEN or regulation pertaining to the rules of wearing the new fleece (CADPAT version). As far as I am concerned, it has a rank flap and is therefore...

Boreas is only composed of a Liasion Observation team as far as I know.

Hello, Anyone been on Op Boreas / Bronze? I will be heading over in a few months as part of a LOT, and I'd like to know if anyone cares to share their experience with me. Thanks a lot.

Hello, I have just found out that I may being going on Op Boreas as a liason officer. I am really excited. I have really wanted this tour for a long time. On a more practical note, I am trying to budget and determine how much I am going to make on the 6-month tour. It is my first... If anyone...

We all know that he was wrong.  :) It goes without saying that 2 PL (Fr) was the best! ;-)

I was on 05...

C6 IS covered - it's not crammed in... It's part of the TP (training plan) No, comms units do not have C6s in their vaults, but, it's still important to learn. Also, it's very easy to borrow them from other units if we want them on EX. As for not having blanks - there were C6 blanks last...

Ok.. here we go: 1. Quarters last year was a converted school house (T-100) it was barracks style with 2-3 rooms per platoon. Supposedly, that will change this year to something similar but different building. To be honest, I don't think it will be done yet. 2. Chin-ups were not important last...

I had the pleasure of serving as platoon commander of a recruit course at Comm Res School (Shilo) last summer. Any specific questions? I probably won't answer them all....   ;)

One of the troops from my unit has started posting a little blog of his experiences in KAF through our unofficial website. There's only one post so far, but it's an interesting read. http://www.712comms.net/page19/page19.html I'm sure he would appreciate your comments.

He might be in the 712... I'll be on the lookout too.

My prayers are with them all (and with their families). Sgt. McIver - then mcpl, was one of my instructors on my BOTP(R) 3.5 years ago I believe...... It really hits home. I hope they will all recover fully.. and soon.

I spent my summer as a course officer in Shilo and had a lot of issues dealing the "push-up problem." At the start of the course, we (my platoon staff and I) had free reign to decide how and when we would give motivational pushups. After 2 weeks, there was a number of recruits from my and other...
