I imagine if it fell below all the minimum wages of each province then they might make a change, but I don‘t think an individual province‘s adjustment would force the CF to ammend their system.

Living in the States would be the number one influence for me for joining the US Army. I think that would play a larger part in it then betraying my country. That‘s if you have the citizenship of course. Nobodies asked me to jog 20km straight, but sometimes it feels like that ;) Your best...

"We" as in Canada joined the war right at the outbreak in Sep ‘39 and have tales of early combat to prove it. It was the States that waited until Pearl Harbor in ‘41.

Nothing pisses me off more then someone trying to make me look bad or incompetant just to impress some girl who has no interest in him anyway. I see it on my own BMQ and that‘s not even the infantry yet. I don‘t think there‘s any physical reason women can‘t hack it in the infantry, those who...

I don‘t think anyone is saying the guy put himself in grave danger and needs a medal. I just think it‘s a great show of support and something our troops could use from that level.

Our government has definately been dragging its feet with Bush and I think he has a ton of reasons to be PO‘d with us. I may disagree on some of his tact but that move was pretty classy

Don‘t have a link, but I know professional rings can be worn (school, etc).

It doesn‘t matter what they are governed by. You salute the commission, so they get saluted. You don‘t have to like it, but you gotta do it.

Patton was an armoured soldier. He commanded a force of Tanks in World War One as a Colonel. Then demoted to Captain in peacetime and trained up a tank force until the outbreak of World War Two where he started getting promoted exponentially to become a General. He was always a tanker though.

It‘s mandatory I believe. Some of my old cadet friends went to CIC and they said it was required for this exact reason.

Borden‘s food is quite good. A friend once complained that he had a bit of egg shell in his breakfast but I mentioned that it just proved they weren‘t powdered :)

lol @ Danjanou I was issued all the regular stuff at Clothing Stores. Shattering my dreams of CADPAT and Gortex. Doesn‘t help that everyone who has it brags to me about how it‘s a great piece of kit. I had trouble with the Clothing Stores because they forgot quite a few things that I needed...

I was at the National Ceremony and some guys cell phone went off getting many angry "Turn it off!"‘s in return. I can only imagine what would have happened to those guys spraying that stuff on the war memorial if they‘d been caught!

Ok, who hasn‘t day dreamed about this?

I‘m surprised to learn about cadets pulling rank on Regs and Reservists. I was in cadets for 7 years and left as a Flight Sergeant with the Air Cadets. If a supply Cpl at Borden bitched me out for not folding a tent correctly I stood at attention and got bitched out and replied "Yes, Corporal"...
