Steve-O: That kind of namecalling is not acceptable. This thread will be locked, and if you continue this, you will receive a warning. Oh, and to answer the inevitable question, the suggestion someone is not well-travelled is quite different than calling someone an a**hole.

So you don't allow reservists to move past the rank of MCpl, force them to work days they are not able or threaten charges, do not allow them to go overseas, and have them do all the s*it tasks that the Regs don't want or can't be bothered to fill. Boy, I can see the recruits flying in.  ::)

GO!: I personally met a kid with less than 6 months TI who had a cadet para course and the moment he finished battle school, was put into a hard jump position, and was wearing a maroon beret. He was a complete tool, and was a c*cky bugger who thought he was God's gift to the military. I would...

The kit belongs to the army, and therefore must be returned to the army. Selling issued kit is illegal, and you would be well advised to bear that in mind before asking about stuff like this on a public forum. Topic locked.

Hazard_duke: I'm the webmaster for the Seaforth site, and have access to some pretty good videos of common weapons. Send me a PM and I can get you more information.

I think all of this very much depends on the relationship, but whatever the usage of names, it should go both ways. Example: I once had an officer (Lt-Capt type) come up to me and address me by my first name, so I responded to him with his first name. He seemed pretty shocked by it, but I think...

If you go back a ways in history, you will find that it used to be that officers were comprised of nobility and other "upper class" types. Could you imagine an early victorian Duke or Lord sitting back and sipping sherry with a teenaged, illiterate peasant? Furthermore, part of differentiating...

GI Jane, you want the cat to stay off your counters, lay down some tinfoil covered in double sided tape around the edges of your counters. After one or two times coming home to a metallic sticky kitty, they will likely get the hint and stay off. And yes, humane traps are the best way to go. I...

I'm female and did my QL2 in '99. What can I help you with?

sdimock: Since it seems like the Engineers are taking over a lot of tasks that were previously occupied by the Pioneers, I think it would make a lot of sense to offer the BMO course to engineers.

Wow, I don't think I could have possibly locked this any faster. No, this is not even remotely true, and has not been for about a century.

OK people, back to your corners, this one is getting locked.

Watch and shoot on this one... it's in the works, more or less. Furthermore, while the Jericho land is pretty valuable, so is Deadman's Island in Stanley Park in which HMCS Discovery is currently situated, and the Beatty Street Armoury where the BCRs are. Besides, eventually the land in Delta...

Time for me to throw in a couple pennies myself. When I originally joined the PRes, I signed up as a musician. I was pursuing a university degree in music at the time, and it seemed like a good way to have a summer job doing something I liked anyway. Once I completed basic, I was able to...

OK, this is getting pretty hostile. *locked* If you feel you can discuss this in a civil manner, you can start a new thread.

There was also the Leslie Nielsen movie "Wrongfully Accused" which used the armoury as a prison, and in which a bunch of serving Seaforth soldiers were employed for the drill team in one of the final shots.

Mike, still having the login problem. Login forever, but when I navigate away from the page and come back, I have to login again.

Mike, I seem to lose my login each time I leave the page, even though I have the session set to forever. Also, there are some scrolling issues in posts when I load in Firefox (latest version).

Furthermore, under the RESO program, you must complete your degree before you get your commission.

Well, 1-1-1 means you have virtually perfect vision, colour vision and hearing. "G" refers to geographic factor, and basically refers to your ability to work in different climates, living conditions, and with varying access to health care. Most people score 2 on this category. You'll rarely be...
