Aren't there laws that are supposed to prevent corporate entities like google from photographing private government entities (and even miltary) like Camp Mirage. I've looked at Meaford with Google Earth and noticed that the area was photographed with very little detail.  Tell me that Google...

At my school I've never really seen a lot of left wing people protest the CF or generally act stupid.  Everyone at my school knows what I do and yet none of the arrogant questions or remarks I've received over my career came from anyone at my College. I suppose it's a University thing, or...

We have that rule in my unit for our regimental christmas dinner. Last year was my first one and no one warned me about this rule.  I though I was going to explode!  :-X

Gramps, I believe you have misinterpreted my post. I'm not saying that punk artists are writting anti-war music because it's the cool thing to do.  I know a lot of "true" punks who know a thing or too about Canada in the world.   What I was trying to point out was many kids follow the...

It is a strong belief of mine that anti-war, anti-government, anti-theman sentiment is nothing more than a fashion statement.  It's all you see on MTV and hear in a lot of "punk" music today. It's like all those kids who dress like punks but aren't, or the kids who walk around with skateboards...

I know a couple of Mcpls who finished the first DP3 with Gwagons this summer.  Since the guidelines weren't written yet, the CC's trained in both the front passenger seat and the rear gunners seat.  Based upon experience and experimentation on the course, it was decided that the crew commander...

I found this SG had a much better training value for me than last years, despite the horid lack of vehicles and comms. I absolutely loved the mine field placed south of one of the bridges, we got quit a surprise when we drove into it (after my crew commander finally agreed with me that it was...

Shortbus and I have already completed DP2. [EDIT] oops, I didn't see shortbus's post about the course. . .

I think they should just use iron from other historical war artifacts, or even just regular iron. Sure the material used to make a VC makes the medal unique, but what it symbolizes is much more important.

I would say a Recce Crewman should have good field craft skills.  Properly using the ground and foliage can go a long way to having an excellent OP or patrol base.  Or would this fit under tactics?

Reg Force Sapper experience can help you get licensed to be a Civil Engineering Technologist in Ontario. www.oacett.org

I got a compass in MILS from MEC in Toronto.

An important thing to consider is retirement. If you have QL5 and some other training done with the sappers, as well as a certain amount of time in, you can apply for license from the Ontario Association of Certified Technologists and Technicians to be a Civil Engineering Technologist.  Usually...

I'm fond of the MOC commercials the US Army has. Each commercial highlights a different career that the US Army offers, everything from the SOF to being a clerk. The CF does need to show some more action in the ads but I think they should still show some of the things we do now. A variety of...

I think he is referrinf to that rumor about the new infantry regiment being created.  A lot of fellow reservists I have spoken to seem to think it is an airborne regiment that is being formed.

This story is from my last course, DP2 Armd Recce. One of our Mcpsl has us presenting our kit for inspection, while wearing our gas masks, to make sure we brought everything on the kit list. The Mcpl gets pissed of and tells us to get into MOPP 4. One of the guys on my course had not taken...

A buddy of mine bought a small rail that screws into the holes on the handguard, he then just mounted a vertical grip to it.  No mods to the actual handguard were required.

From talking to them, I'm pretty sure it was the basic SERE.

4 guys in my unit took a basic survival course this year. I believe it consisted of a few weekends lecture, followed by a field weekend practicing their skills then a final "survival" weekend. There is also a more advanced survival course after this one they were to participate in but got...

Let OHIP pay for it. To get my type I told my doctor to check my blood for any diseases and such, and to guage my health from the quality of my blood.  When they called me to tell me I was fine I then asked what my blood type was.
