    What are the plans for the Queen's York Rangers Vehicle wise?

    No, it was in the sqn class room at the Fort.  I think it was the same night we had the two Gwagons on display. Other things the CO talked about were Iron Talon 1&2, CAC, the Gwagons (Jan - June 06 ) and a possible visit from Prince Andrew next year.

    Mozilla Firefox and Army.ca

    I use Firefox as my primary browser.  When on this site all the buttons used to create, edit, quote etc do not show up.  I can still click the area where they should be and post away, however the buttons themselves seem to be invisible.

    When is using first names appropriate?

    I'm a Pte and this is how it works out for me. Mcpl and up Rank and lastname (unless in the mess). Cpl's, usually by last name, some by first if were buds and the SNCO's / Officers aren't around. Other Pte's, last name / first name depending on how well I know them.  If a SNCO / Officer is...

    Exercise Southern Drive 2005 Opinions

    That was A coys attack on the airfield. They attacked in a big "L" shape and I am pretty sure, got all confused and screwed up when they discovered the trenches in the middle of the field were fake. We did a lot of work to get those positions prepared for the Infantry and I think both the...

    Need computer for RMC courses but have no $

    You should give RMC a call. Most schools let you sign out laptops.  You could just continuesly sign out a laptop very couple of days.  Buy a USB drive for 50 bucks to store your data.
