I received a email from one of my collector brethren of a theft of medals from a residence in Calgary. Please keep you eyes and ears open and hopefully they can be safely recovered. I have cut and paste the information below.

Thank you for all the encouragement on sticking it out until 20. I love my job/trade (Best in the CF) and love where I work. I am not just another disgruntled subject. I am not taking this likely as a decision and just taking stock of my options and weighing them out carefully. 3 years is...

If you want it plated, Willian Scully Ltd in Montreal is the best I have found. He has been doing it for years and is very reasonably priced.

The extra pouches are the add-ons that come with the small pack and more with the new ruck wheneverit arrives on the scene. The TV is adjustable and you can lower your 4 mags pouches. But they are hard to get into when the vest is new.

We had the same articles in 2002 in regards on painting our webbing and weapons with tan paint and using LBV's. As for the up armoured turret i was there when they were measuring and making a wood mock up. I though they were out of their minds and NEVER though it would actually happen because of...

Yes, the infantry are suppose to be a hardy bunch but it still sucks when there are other people living better than you and you are on the same team. We lived in tents/holes in the ground for 6 months and it sucked too and we bitch about it. The same type questions were asked in 2002 to the CDS...

Well, General Baril was the Commander of Op Assurance and then the medal was issued when he was CDS.
