    Light Infantry - a definition, roles, requirements, capabilities, and a vision for the future

    The USUAL distinction currently in use (and it's not all that accurate, but accurate enough for your purposes, I think) is that light infantry is dismounted - IE, they don't have AFVs as their main form of fighting. The "Light Infantry" in PPCLI is an historic appellation which is no longer...

    CF Dress regulations RE Air Force

    Actually - it was your posts that stuck in my mind and enabled me to recall that thread - figured it might give the fella' the answer (and some perspective on it) he was looking for.

    Do you still shake hands with people?

    Yes - and they will have invented a NEW way to greet one another in a respectful way.  And then, a couple of generations after THAT, they will say "can you imagine that they used to ... " And so the cycle continues.

    Tips for making a good impression and getting a JOB (any job, not just Military)

    Heck - your school uniform sounds like it would a good thing to wear.  ZERO dollars to spend!

    Do you still shake hands with people?

    HA!  That's great. I'm a cabinetmaker - buy me a beer sometime and I'll tell you about the time I failed to properly clean my hands before peeing, after using cyanoacrylate glue (crazy glue)! I've never worried about physical contact with folks - even the cheek kiss is no big deal.  You may...

    Tips for making a good impression and getting a JOB (any job, not just Military)

    brandon_ Be neat, be clean.  Lose the piercings.  Wear "decent" pants - IE, not your ripped, bleached jeans.  Doesn't have to be fancy - just neat and tidy, "Dickies" come to mind as a cheap pair of trousers (should be able to get a pair for less than $30.00) that look neat and tidy.  Lose the...

    How to get family on board

    Good on ya', Bianca. It sounds to me like you and your Father love each other.  He's doing his best to accept your decision, and you're doing your best not to shock him too much all at once. Best of luck to you. Roy

    Fitness Standards

    Nope.  But in my experience it was rare - and it was usually self-correcting because of the aforementioned (perhaps misplace, but real nevertheless) pride.

    Woman stranded in Kenya sues

    There have been, no doubt, some extremely disappointing actions (or non-actions) by the Government (ALL governments, not just the current one) over the years.  I suspect that there is much more to these stories than ever gets published - I imagine DFAIT's hands are tied regarding what...

    "I'd do it again if I had to."

    I remember the Kessler thing when it happened.  Don't forget that this took place in 1986 - BEFORE the Gun Registry and accompanying silliness.  And also don't forget that Mr. Kessler WAS charged - but a jury wouldn't convict him.  If he hadn't had public support and dollars, I'm not sure he...

    "The Hurt Locker" new feature film on EOD/bomb squad GIs in Iraq

    For the record.  A user uploaded a link to an online movie site.  I've removed that post until it can be determined if the site is legal or not.  I searched the net looking for answers, and came up with lots of OPINIONs - but no answer. I'll not knowingly leave Mr. Bobbitt open to legal...

    "The Hurt Locker" new feature film on EOD/bomb squad GIs in Iraq

    You may be right, I don't know.  But it begs the question - who uploaded it in the first place? (And yes - I've been guilty of downloading pirated stuff - I'm certainly not holding myself up as a paragon of virtue here - despite my earlier flip comment).
