??? I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a good website that states Canadian casualties by numbers similar to http://antiwar.com/casualties ? Also, on the side an not needed, anyone know of where to find Civilian deaths in Iraq due to sectarian violence, both the hospital and the morgue counts?

My four rubles worth... We had females on our basic course who got transferred to another platoon when we hit SQ. In basic, they didn't have too many problems being that there were a lot of females going ofr other trades and that. The testing they performed okay on but it was the phyical work...

Hey-o, As was said earlier I am home as an out-patient, but the other two are still back at the hospital. Please keep the prayers going for them as they both recover. Just thought I woulf stop in here and say how I am, but thank you for your prayers and wishes. Without them, I don't think I...

First forming up outside in BIQ. Marching NCO: "For all of you who don't know me, I am MCpl *****. I will tell you now, I swear a lot. So, if it bothers you come to attention, fall out, come up to me and say 'MCpl, I have a problem with your swearing'. I'll then tell you to f*** off and get back...

Just wondering what the reasoning behind advancing a pte to Mcpl is. If you are short on leadership in the platoon, why not just have the Pte (or Cpl) be the section commander, let them have a lot of on-the-job training from it and bump them back to section member when more leadership arrives...

Cost of living raise? It's not hard to raise people on the wages we get. With all the extra pay we get (some of it even non taxable) we make over enough. Field pay, seperation pay, hazard pay - all things that get added on. I was raised in a single-parent household of three boys on an income of...

Well, I'll say 3VP. A Coy will be the current neo Tasked Coy B Coy is mountain ops C Coy is Jump Coy Each coy does normal basic things, but that's just what they are classified as. -Spooks

It's at times like these where I like to take a moment out of my life and reflect on our country. The great accomplishments we have made, the redefining political decision over the years and then I goto my internet browser, and find a link that has brought me much happiness. I'm sure many of you...

Sweet Mary! Thanks a million. Still want to take official on-paper stuff. I can study on my own now though. -Spooks

I'll try to give you a call in between classes next week. Right now I'm on the PCF cycle. Anyone I need to ask for if it's a Gen.Use phone? -Spooks

J.F. If I were to guess, yes. A bunch of us al went to get tested, already submitting our choices. We tested and then were told that we passed for the trades we selected. I think the list is for those who go in saying: "What can I be in the military?" -Spooks

Well, thank you very much, sir. The only thing I'd wish is that my current Pl Cmdr, OC, or Co would venture onto here and read this board. :) -Spooks

I believe Junior officers (ie. my Pl Cmdr) can change up PT since PT is usually at the Pl level or Coy level, and if it's at the Coy level, 80% of the time it's ran by the OC. Our OC likes to runs - a lot. IMHO, no matter how inventive your PL Cmdr is, he'll still change as to what the OC would...

Does anyone have or know where to find the CBC coverage of the broadcasted ceremony for Sgt. Leger, Cpl. Dyer, Pte Smith and Pte Green? I have been looking for it for a very long time because I missed it when it was aired. I couldn't find it and ran out of places to look until about 5min ago...

Is there any courses available CF-wide for language training outside of French? I'm looking to polish up my russian and expand maybe 2-5 more eventually (eventually is defined as by the time I retire). IMO, IntOps would have something for that since foreign languages is a bonus to get into that...

I suppose this should be on the recruiting forum, but this one is here. What is the period you have to wait after your operation/procedure before you can enlist. My brother has V4 and needs a V3 or higher to get into the combat arms (Sapper) and was wondering. I had no clue myself. -Spooks

Welcome to QuickTime VR Spooks

Does anyone happen to know where in the City of Edmonton I can find a helmet camera. I'm looking for it to be small yet not sacrifice video imaging quality. Durable is a must, waterproof is a bonus. Color image in NTSC mode. Now it can be a seperate unit which can plug into the external video...

A pay raise cut?! That's insane!! Actually, it isn't. The way most of us young guys feel about it is A) We didn't even work for the raise, it's just a reaction to the civy worker pay raise and B) we're only looking for the back pay because we enjoy large chunks rather than $10 extra to spend on...

a.  why do troops get out of the infantry? I'll go on the stand point of why troops leave after their BE, which is where I sit and observe the most of. First would be a sense of falsehood of what their job was said to be by recruiters and that. Recruiters and even the DND website show an...
