Wow. I went last year and completed it, there was no hot weather like that. Being in Texas right now on leave I can understand how hot 95f is... its over 100 here every day. The cold water tap is always luke warm. Anyways, its to bad its cancelled. I wonder what the troops are doing with all the...

Thanks for that link Eddie. I was looking for a comprehensive mil discuont site!

To find the solution to stop people from defacing the memorial, you simply need to ask yourself 1 question. The answer should lead you to a reasonable solution. Why did they urinate on the memorial? Was it because there were no sentries? Absolutley not. Sure sentries would of stopped them, but...

Posting sentries is the extreme answer, when an extreme answer is not needed. Its not the fault that no sentries were posted, its more of a lack of understanding on thier part. Sentries would not educate this type of people, they would only keep them away and ignorant of the memorials purpose.

Anyone from Petawawa interested in starting such a club? We'll pick a night, meet at the mess. Everyone coming brings a strategy game and we go from there. The mess would no doubt support it. I would like to get tournaments organized with prizes available. If your in Pet, and are interested...

That is a good point. However, even locked threads come up in searches so the user will be likely to read it. Mike, Michael, George & Bruce you have all made good points,  I do realise the rules and customs of this board do not change overnight. I only ask that you consider what I have had to say.

My point is try to encourage talk by not locking so often. For example if someone asks what the minimum age is to join, big deal, someone will answer him, as a mod just dont jump on it and lock it because its been covered 100 times over. Its discouraging, why discourage? I am merely suggesting a...

Even as I was replying the thread was locked... Anyways.. My reply to the 1st reply.. How ironic, I wish I could say that those threads were locked but I didnt even check. Further proves my underlaying point that not many people want to use the search functions and wade through everybody elses...

I keep seing threads locked all the time with comments like "this is covered in another thread perform a search and read it." Really, whats the point. If someone wants to start a new conversation why not let them? Locking a thread simply because its a topic thats been talking about in the past...

People join the military for a very wide variety of reasons, theres too many to even start contemplating about. Its better to just accept it than reject it cause these people are here to stay. Many currently serving members do have valid reasons to keep them back in Canada also, this isnt all...

Finally got my message. Off to 2 RCHA. Should be a good go.

Howdy... I am posted in this summer, just got my message today. I have a few questions I hope someone can answer as I really dont know much about the Artillery. I am wondering how big the unit is, how big is Sigs Pl and whats the unit like generally? Anyways, I am looking forward to coming, I...

I think the DND banking system is way out of touch with reality. I attended a briefing on it about 4 months ago held by the people that started it. After reading the pamphlet before the breifing started I knew it was a pile of B.S. I found out why it was such a pile of B.S..... He said that this...

I am promoted and posted to 2 Sigs Pet... Anyone else movin?

Wow people are pretty quick to pounce here... who cares about what a profile says... I wouldnt be suprised if he did, or someone somewhere in the Canadian Military did. My 1st tour to Bosnia we had a "fun day" at the ranges. People were firing two 9mm at once, 1 handed rambo style C9.... Yeah...

From what I read from the General Dynamics website, TCCCS is referred to as IRIS. From what you'd find on the DND website, TCCCS and IRIS are both 1 in the same. Both mentioned as being the system we use but nothing would make you think its one over the other. Many refererences are made to each...

22lbs dry weight. Then your food, whatever and whatever else is added. There are periodic random weight checks by staff as the checkpoints. We never ran into any, but we did hear a few other countries had members disqualified on the spot for having less weight.

No idea why it changed. Small pack doesnt have and metal frame on it so it was softer fitting... but the small pack sagged alot and we were always pulling our straps up.. didnt handle weight well IMO. Plus it looks better, matches the uniform and all...

You get to go basically because your a deserving person. The march was really gruelling, 45km a day, 4 days in a row, wake up at 3-4am, march till 3-4pm, get back to shacks, bandage, eat, shower, get kit ready for next day and finally go to sleep. Pride... well I cant say I really felt much...

Didnt see many posts ref the last Nijmegan March so heres some info.. If you havent gone, but have heard about it you may believe its only a 40km march every day for 4 days straight. Thats true to an extent. For the military marchers its about 45km each day. We have to march to the startpoint...
