    Recouping Temporary Site Costs

    How about a classified ad section, you could charge a $1.00 or so per ad. Limit it to miltary items, Collectables and Surplus. Lots of traffic and there is alot of people that have extra stuff laying around that are not a business. More ambitious project would be a auction such as ebay or yahoo...

    Troops Forced To Pay Back Meal Claims Advances

    If the mbrs had failed or been RTU in the first weeks of the course they would have had to pay back the advance. If they spent the money before they left on course, it is a gamble they chose and they lost. The advance is to pay for expenses and is not to supplement their income (common thinking...

    Federal Budget - Will I know then?

    You must remember that recruiting did not start back up full tilt until about 2 years ago. The problem is that the training system can handle only so many new people at a time. Who do you think trains these new people. It would be the same if you accept 10,000 new students to a university at...

    Today‘s Globe and Mail

    Nothing new for the regular force as well. We have been in reconstitution (3VP) since Sep 02, just enough to shoot the annaul PWT with no retests.

    Soldier Qualification Course (Questions & Answers)

It sounds like somebody higher on the food chain is making up there own rules or is not thinking about the trg opportunities being presented. Since you have and passed BMQ you should be able to...

    Styker‘s first deaths

    Funny enough, a improvised explosive took out a M1A1 and crew a little while ago in Iraq and others where injured. Other soldiers were killed or injured when they rolled their steel beasts over in other incidents. As well, I think that a MBT would probaly sink a little quicker than a LAV if it...

    New Generation CadPats

    The cover pockets are the new standard. The ideas has come from the Airforce side which worries about FOD. The CDS or VCDS has now directed the clothing and equipment, from all services, to converge all their programs into one. If you look on the new tag you will see they are called for...

    The C7 Assault Rifle, M16, & AR15 family (C7A1, C7A2, C7 replacment, and C7 vs M16)

    It is both about $ and allocation. Remember that we are a small military and we are a aging one as well. Most of our equipment needs upgrading and replacement and that is for all services. While I agree the replacement/ mods that KevinB is speaking about are the ideal solutions and I...

    Care packages

    My unit and myself were on the receiving end of many public sent care packages on our tour to Afganistan in 2002. They were very apprecciated by all. Some advice on sending things would be to keep the packages small, about a shoebox or slightly larger. A major problem that we encounter was the...
