    The Gagetown Thread- Merged

    During CAC my patrol ran into an en position.  I hopped into the Ilits and placed my rifle in, and once my crew got in we zipped off (I drove), stopping along the way to keep observation.  The en kept advancing so we kept taking bounds back.  When we backed off far enough I discovered my Rifle...

    Past Co-op Students to be paid in LFCA

    76 a day can be a lot of money for a teenager, especially when they're on CLASS B during their summer courses at Meaford.

    Past Co-op Students to be paid in LFCA

    I've heard from a few people on this matter, that unlike common belief, the pay is a back pay. Former students will be getting paid based upon what the daily rate was when they DID the course, not the current $76 a day. I know a couple of guys who will be dissapointed their check will not be...

    DDC and civy insurance.

    You've brought up another point.  I brought my 404's and Dangerous goods in.  I asked if they offered discounts on military driving qualifications and they had never heard anything about it, infact, she was surprised the military had a seperate licensing system and thought having a G was enough...

    DDC and civy insurance.

    I did a search but did not come up with what I'm looking for. So, I'm doing my G1 Exit Test soon, yes I should have done it long ago. I went to the local insurance broker yesterday and got a quote on insurance for having the DTC and not. I showed them my certificate for the DDC I got on my...

    Use the search function and search everything that is BMQ on Army.ca. Print out the hundreds of pages and staple them together. You now have the most useful pre-BMQ book you could ever read.

    Popular Science: Robotic Armour

    The problem with robots, and the reason why I think they won't be around for awhile, is that they're chosing how to react to a particular scenario would be too selective. I'm no computer programmer, but I remember the days when I was playing with Visual Basic on my old Coleco, complete with...

    Psychological stress in training.

    Don't mean to resurrect old threads but. . . I didn't get my assignment back, but, my mark did increase from midterm substantially as a result of whatever mark I did get on my paper. My thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread,  :)

    Hey - We are hearing that Canada is/are DESTROYING over 67,000 FNC1 and FNC2s

    Did they ever have BFA's for the FN?  I assume they did. Why not keep some for En force purposes.  I was on an en force weekend and some guys had FN's.  This was for a DP2 Armd Recce course.  The purpose of the FN's was to encourage the candidates to look for more than 2 guys smokin and jokin...

    C7 Zeroing from the 100m with a 300m elevation setting? Why?

    Maybe the coaches had the idea that it would be easier to hit targets at the 300m line, if the rifle was zeroed at 300m? ???

    Popular Science: Robotic Armour

    I Guess some people got to excited over the concept of UAV's. I wouldn't doubt the use of robots in the battlefield.  I've read the article, and I think robots are further off into the future than popular science and the pentagon think.
