The Queen of the PPCLI strikes again!

I missed something about these uniforms? When is the start of the delivery date?

I would gladly take a knee to get posted out of Wainwright and back to a Unit!!

I think buddy might want to join CSOR or JTF.Time for buddy to get out. Personally I would have had a better career with 10 years in Germany instead of two tours to Afghanistan. I mean at least we won the Cold War and the last time I checked the history books it was confirmed. Afghanistan I'm...

One of the first things I did as a Pl 2IC on a DP1 Infantry course was take away all phones,IPODS,and Computers. This lasted anyplace from 4 to 6 weeks in order to get the canidates to talk and communicate with one another. Did they like it? Nope but if you don't know your fellow course mates...

Don't hold your breath for the infantry to open up anytime soon. Even if the tap gets turned back on in April 2012 I can see any Reg Force DP 1 courses starting until Sept 2012, maybe. Why? Because I think we might be the only Army in NATO that completely closes down from May to Sept 01 to train...

I'm wondering if anybody from this web site has any information WRT turning the tap back on to recruiting infantrymen? It seems many Battalions are undermanned but we continue not to be able to run any DP 1 courses. It just doesn't make sense. Then the instructors get side tracked into other...

Alex, Dude were closed in the Infantry. Try something else but what ever you don't find a trade where you have to wait for months in PAT platoon.

Bad typo. The world didn't end because of my actions is what I wanted to say! Sorry!

Would this single location be like Wainwright when WATC is running 11 courses and the line up goes outside the DFAC itself? Totally inefficient for Instructors and people  on IR. For the first time in my career I just cut to the front of the line because I will not wait 45 minutes in line with...

Here is some free advice from somebody that has been "exposed" to the flawed training system by witnessing what happens to some junior reserve officers on the BMQ(R) courses. Listen to orders. React to orders. Ask intelligent questions. Don't make the same mistake twice and for the love of God...

I only hope that we can do drill for eight weeks prior to the 100th so we are somewhat good on the parade square. I'm sure someone has scheduled this in. Right? It was eight weeks for the 75th I think. Good times! VP!

Go Air Force Go!! Sorry I ment Go Leafs Go!!

What ever, people have joined the CF underfradulent terms and have been able to stay in for at least three years collecting a salary.It all relative I guess.

And again the wheel shall be re-invented. Retirement is so close or not!

Taco, I share your view. 100%! You hit the nail right on the head with a 10 pound sledge hammer. Well said!

Best war movie ever is "STRIPES"!! Timeless classic that sometimes resembles the real army.Sometimes!!

What is done is long done. Now it is nothing more than Canadian military history. I think the Canadian army has significantly changed for the better between 2000 and 2011. At the conclusion of the mission in Kandahar I just hope we as an institution don't revert to the 1991-1992 mind set. The...

Listen to all the wanna be Doctors on this thread. If it is your time then its your time. That could be here in Canada or on Operations 2008 we had a great combination of super fit troops and others that maybe were not that fit. In the end they all did a great job and we where very lucky...

KIWI 99, I have came to the conclusion that the whole Honours and Awards has become a complete sham in the last few years. Unfortunately their will always be support trades in waiting with their palms open saying "What about me and my unit"  I do not mean any disrespect to any recipients  but if...
