    Out on the range!

    I believe that the Carl G was phased out as it is being replaced. I'm not sure about the other... Most probably due to the time constraints inherent in a BMQ reserve course.

    Out on the range!

    Your information is incorrect. C6 is still taught in Shilo. SQ is still 4 weeks. I know this because I am currently staff at the School. Any other questions?

    Help! Unofficial Website Regs?

    I did and had tacit approval. However, this is not about that. The help I need is in knowing what my rights are. Where does my freedom and expression start and end? If crests and cap badges are copyrighted, how come this site posts them as avatars?

    Help! Unofficial Website Regs?

    Hello all, I need your help. I am a reserve officer at a Comms unit. I've put up a clearly marked "unofficial website" for my unit. I tried to do it through the unit, but they didn't want to. Instead, I put it up myself and am paying for it out of my pocket. All the videos, pictures, etc...

    Hello all, I've been working on an unofficial website for my Squadron: http://www.712comms.net I was hoping that I could get some feedback from you. It's not fully up and running, but the look and some of the content is there. I'd appreciate some feedback. Thanks a lot.

    Sig Op to Lineman????

    Just to clarify... I am quite sure that no 71 Comms Grp have their Tac Vests. Some individuals may, but there has been no unit-wide issues yet. If anyone has proof to the contrary, let me know. I have a good source. I know a guy who works in the QM at the 712.  ;)

    The viability of a massive CF intranet

    Actually, there is a commonly used way to get your army email at home. It is technically open to anyone, BUT, it is usually only given to officers and very senior NCOs. It is called a DVPNI account and you need a military laptop or computer to get on. So... if you have access to a laptop, you...

    Reserve LogO training

    Good! You'll really enjoy the courses. BCT 2 was fun and I learned a fair bit. I could have learned more, but IT IS the army. The focus is different from Phase 1 + 2. They don't lead you around by the nose on the trade courses, it's more about learning and figuring out stuff by yourself - more...

    Reserve LogO training

    Eowyn is exactly correct. However, if you are a Log O in a Comms Unit, the path is slightly different. The Comm Res HQ still recongnizes the successful completion of BCT 2 and 1 year as 2Lt. as sufficient to be promoted to Lieutenant. Of course, your promotion will always depend on the...

    Tac Vest Issue (when is it comming to a QM near you?)

    Gun plumber, I believe you are mistaken. The TV was issued to all regs before the res. If you are being attached to another unit temporarily, you may have to sign it from the QM directly. They may not just give it to you. Make a friend in the QM and be proactive. Friends in the QM are the best...

    Tac Vest Issue (when is it comming to a QM near you?)

    I'm a Log O in Comms unit in Quebec. 34 Bde has been issued their TVs but the Comm Groups have yet to get them. According to our G4   , the allocation is set and we are ready to receive them, but there have been bureaucratic issues in distributing them at the unit level. As for its quality.. It...

    CAP(R) and Training

    I can second all of what Eowyn said. I am off to BCT 2 and then ICT S&T on the 28th of June. I did my CAP(R) last year. It cannot be done on the weekends. It includes, basically: 1) Navigation 2) C9 Machine Gun 3) Section Attacks 4) Patrols 5) Defensive 6) Leadership skills thoughout If you...

    Cadpat for BMQ?

    Afternoon All, I can clear up the official policy for you all... I‘m a Log O in a Comms Unit and have had to field tons of questions about this. According to the latest CANFORGEN on the subject the policy is this: NCMs: Only after MOC qualification. OFFICERs: After Phase 2 (CAP) However, in...

    A round of applause for Gryphon664!

    Just to be clear - it‘s not my promotion. It‘s his. I‘m just making it known! However, the RMR Pte is correct. We do share the same armoury. The RMR‘s a good regiment, but I will always be partial to my 712 comms. PER NUNTIUM AD VICTORIAM

    CDN Army Ceremonial Swords

    Swords can be purchased online at the RMC Kit Shop. It‘s a very good deal. Otherwise, you can get your from the ‘original‘ Commonwealth sword maker - Wilkinson‘s in London. Their swords are absolutely beautiful and pricey. I got mine from RMC. Let me know if you have any more questions - send...

    The Merged Thread on Gay/ Homosexual Topics and the CF.

    Mr. Dorosh, I expect better from you. I can only assume that you are not comparing gay marriage to marrying a dog.... Throwing "the baby out with the bath water" seems a little harsh. Your analogy is faulty to the core. A dog does not have the sense or abilty to enter into a marriage aware...
