I'm envisioning some sort of octagon battle. It would be cool.

It's amazing how much harder things become without 429 in effect...

I don't know how deep of a thread we can have with OPSEC hanging over our heads, but Tomahawk - can you explain further? I found that national and ISAF ROEs were liberal enough to allow all intelligent reactions...whether those with the final say always agreed that a certain effect was needed is...

Gah! If it's not in 371-4, it doesn't exist!!

Are you talking in adj or FFE?

Hey Kat, you tell me how to drop some napalm on the compound housing three bad guys without injuring the friendlies/neutrals living in the surrounding compounds and I'll give it a go...

Ltmaverick25 is talking about the reserves. Furtry is talking about the reg force. It's guavas and pineapples...

Glaring at the sometimes-obtuse 371-4, I would agree that in either scenario, ordering FFE will give you the rounds given in the message to observer.

Thucydides - I agree. Staying in school and passing proves you have the ability to a) complete a task and b) complete it correctly. No different than taking an army course and passing all the POs. Nobody cares less than me as to where I got my degree and what it's in. However, the CF requires me...

Open letter to all CF officers who have one of those actually useless degrees - he's found us out, comrades! Increase your agitprop and leaflet distribution fourfold! The people grow surly!  ;) Kommissar Ralph

Main reason why reservists don't become/remain FACs: a) Reservists don't go on ex during the week; b) Pilots don't fly on weekends.  ;D

When we start fighting enemy tank/pers concentrations of several hundred square meters with no collateral damage concerns, I'll be the first knocking at the door to bring back DPICM and CBUs  ;D As for PYs, I'll think out loud and point out that our Air Defense brethren will be without equipment...

The US is moving towards deploying the unitary warhead the majority of the time anyway. Just because they didn't sign the treaty doesn't mean they're willing to deal with an unacceptable dud rate, especially in current ops...

Hear hear! My tax dollars should only go towards supporting opinions I share...

Try http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/20/ I had no problems getting it into MapSource and onto my GPS76. Lots of village names and topo features. No detail on KAF or Kandahar, though. Cheers.

Well, nobody else is biting, so I'll add my dinar. As with all calls for information, I hope you have used the search function on this site. That and the CF recruiting site should answer most of your questions. The majority of the people I did training with starting with five years ago will have...

Unless things have changed in the last five years, as soon as you rec your attach-posting msge to undergo trg in Gagetown, you can staff a memo requesting a PMQ there. The Qs are in the town of Oromocto but are administered by the CF. You can rent a PMQ whether you're undergoing training or not...

They can go with you if you're willing to take care of and pay for the move yourself. I had guys from all four schools living with their families in PMQs on my street from CAP onwards. You will be ordered into shacks during courses, but at least your family will be there on weekends and between...

Good day, all - the subject of renaming trig points and OPs around the Shilo training area has come up around the ol' gun park now that we've started losing troops overseas - Capt Goddard had one named after her a couple years ago - and after searching around we realized there might not be a...

Yes. Normally after a couple years as a TC. Staying within my lanes, STA is brand new and I don't believe any pointyheads have taken the STA Tp Comd course yet, so they're learning at the same time as their troops on the ground at the regiments. As for AD, maybe one of them will weigh in. I...
