Last I heard, he's back in Canada and recovering at VGH. I don't think he's out of the coma yet, but he's apparently making steady improvements.

For a course, or if the RSM wanted a parade, you just move the pouches back. I had to do that with the old webbing all the time, nothing new there.

Ok folks, this one is getting locked. If you want to wear a uniform off duty, you need permission. Get permission, or don't wear the uniform, simple.

A modular system wouldn't be as logistically cumbersone as people here seem to be making it out to be. Each soldier would get issued a vest, and the pouches that go with it (standard set to start off with... just like the old webbing). The soldier would configure it to comply with their own...

RecceDG: No, you're certainly not alone. Just about everyone I know, upon seeing the current TV for the first time were pretty much gobsmacked. "What, it's NOT modular?!" Seemed to be the pervasive attitude. While I prefer a vest system by far, at least with the old webbing you could add or...

Mechanic_chick Yes, there are people who are in who no longer want to be there, and people who want to get in that can't. However, it's pretty presumptuous of you to make sweeping statements like "they let anyone in" and that "army standards have dropped incredibly", especially considering you...

You may have noticed that this topic is 2 years old. Was there a reason for resurrecting it, as I'm sure the person in question has long since had their question(s) answered.

If you think Janes is the best poster here, then you really haven't been here very long. There's nothing wrong with protecting one's anonymity, but to be spouting off about what the CF should and should not be doing operationally, or in training, and not being able to back ANYTHING up, is...

Canadian Captain comes through surgery Mar, 07 2006 - 12:50 AM LANDSTUHL, GERMANY/CKNW(AM980) - The Canadian Military says Captain Trevor Greene was seriously hurt on Saturday when a young man identified as a Taliban militant struck him in the head with an axe while he was speaking with Afghan...

Janes, Tread carefully. You are making a lot of offensive remarks to some very experienced soldiers. I would recommend you watch your tone and fill out your profile or you will be introduced to the warning system. Welcome to army.ca combat_medic Staff

Tess, not to contradict you, but here in Vancouver I have had random civvies throw things at me, yell obscenities (baby killer, among others) and other mistreatment. This was just me walking or driving to reserves in uniform. No weapons, by myself, and minding my own business. I don't think all...

Lt Greene is a great soldier and officer, and a credit to the CF and the Seaforth Highlanders. I've had the pleasure of working with him both in the military and in the civilian world. My best wishes to him and his family for a speedy recovery; our thoughts are all with him.

I'll talk to Mike and the rest of the DS about setting up a donation account here on the site, since there seems to be a lot of interest. Will post more when it's available. Also, if we are able to set it up, is there someone who is in contact with the family and could give us contact...

Crash of Canadian armoured vehicle kills one, injures seven in Kandahar Updated at 11:57 on March 2, 2006, EST. KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CP) - A Canadian soldier died and six others were injured Thursday when an armoured vehicle rolled just outside Kandahar city limits while on routine patrol. An...

They can, if they are invited, or they are performing a duty there (Duty Officer, bartending etc.). As well, the CO can enter the mess without permission, although permission is often asked, out of courtesy. There are also functions which are held by one mess, but that are open to the general...

The best advice is to continue on the path you're already on. When you want to apply for the CF, make sure you obtain copies of all the medical documentation relating to your condition, particularly when you're taken off the meds and given a clean bill of health. Get contact information for your...

I don't think the idea of a combined mess is wise, particularly in a combat arms unit. While the MCpl/Sgts may be buddies and did training together, I imagine the last thing an RSM wants to do is deal with a bunch of rowdy privates in his time off. I'm also sure that the privates don't want to...

I love how there's only 5 of them protesting, and only one or two people watching them. That's pretty typical attendance for an Art Gallery protest. When I worked by there, there were protests so frequently (nearly daily) on every possible subject that no one even cared or paid attention that...

Afghanistan is a dry country. If you are on operation there, you cannot drink. Edit - that is the regs currently for kandahar. If you are an alcoholic, you should be seeking treatment, not more booze. If you unable to function without liquor, then you probably shouldn't be overseas, and should...
