I can't believe some one called this a B team....  I think this is a good team it will most definitely face some tough competion from the Czech team and the Finns but i think this may be the team or the face of one to come.  Turco while being 3rd on the list is going to be an excellent addition...

First i am assuming you don't want the C-295, that is what i am getting out of your post.   If so then i back you on that one.   Not another hey we can build it cheaper and less stuff for ya purchase i thought they would have seen through that on the Cyclone but guess not.  the only way i could...

I have two trains of thought on this topic.  One being the larger train that says this is silly and really should not be funded by the government.  "to maintain the sill or not" they could be paid for their skills.  The other being the smaller that says hmmm unit moral must be up in some areas...

atticus Yea but again its Alberta.  So it will never happen.  BC maybe, how about Dunduran they could train and run for hours before getting lost.  Seriously though, If they do beef the unit up, I say split it into two teams one East Central it could stay at Dwyer Hill and the other out West...

I disagree Pet is to populated (with Military) an area to have the unit there.  They do like there secrecy.  I think revamping an old installation or building a new one is the way to go.  It also depends on how big of an expantion they are planning to have.  Are we talking 10's of guys or up to...

I don't think Pet is the answer as an influx of Cpl Jones's and Smith's may be a bit suspicious.  I do think that they should have two maybe even three areas to train.  BC being one of them as they could everything from desert to Jungle warfare out in some areas.  Such as Cultis Lake near the...

Absolutely we should have more firepower there is no doubt in my mind that (espically rual areas) all the cars should have a long rifle or a something similar to c-8 or MP-5 in them.  Sometimes back up is 25 min away (sometimes more).  As far as the worst enemy i don't know about Tims its like...

You sweat just as much in the winter from sitting in the patrol vehicle with the heat on full blast with a tactical sweater and breathable t-shirt underneath, but nothing compares to those hot, summer days.... i wonder if R&D is working on inventing air conditioned armour!! Hint, hint... They...

Blackhorse7 No disrespect intended as i to carry a badge but, you and i both know the conversation went something like this...  Guys guarding the scene(1) "bout time, what no fresh coffee"  Guys arriving(2) "Sorry no coffee did you guys see or hear anything last night" (1) We didn't see...

The world is not as big as it used to be.  A major war in any of the areas mentioned in the preceding posts could and my eventually become the next world war.  Look at Syria and Iran as well are they next on the list for the US if they go will it be NK.  With the world shrinking the...

I to attended the ceremony and was overwhelmed with the outpouring support from police forces across the continent.  I also was impressed with the speeches.  There was no political banter pure heart felt sympathies and thanks. rest well brothers your memory will be carried on. BOTB

Thanks for the update.  It sounds like the RCMP and CF are both doing their jobs by the numbers.  Now if the reporters would just shut up long enough to hear a fact once in a while, the whole media frenzy would go back to resembling news, rather than the clusterfrag it is now.  If we have an...

Regarding your comments about the moral right and duty to defend ourselves; I am not quite sure if I can agree with that. I mean, let us say that you and your wife and daughter are being held hostage, and one of gunman goes to you, holds a gun to your head, and says he is going to kill you, but...

He's using a typical "4th Generation Warfare" tactic of using our weakness against us - he is playing on Western fears by trying to promote the belief that we're "putting people on the rack and ripping their finger nails out" in order to undermine our resolve.  Piss on him (and his unprincipled...

It's too late to start fighting after the food, heat and electricity run out. You must be prepared to fight for what we have now and prevent it from ever being snatched away. That is something that i totally agree with.  No matter the enemy or cause we must be able to defend ourselfs before we...

Alot of depends on the base you are on.  If you are on a larger base (edmonton, Pet, Halifax, Esq) you would be busier then say Suffield or shilo (that is changing thanks to 2vp) But the average day shift is fairly quite 2-6 calls on a quite day.  Nights like all police forces very on different...

Have to agree with you there.  Not there on an army job anyway may have gone with one of those private contracting firms though. Need more info to make a proper assumption.  (can't believe i just said that, normally i jump all over something, then get told the story)

guys in edmonton have to share body armour in some cases.  Not enough in the system.  don't think the sewing thing would work out to well. 

I am some what dissatisfied with the Liberals.  But to some it was the lesser of two evils.  You know elect the devil you know and no the one you don't.  Some time is agree with some Liberal Platforms but not all.  I think a straight election for judges my fix some not all of the problems but...

It will go far all the elements have approved it from what i was told.  But it has to pass the CF dress committy or something like that and that is were it may get sticky. Name tags on OPD's don't think that will fly as they would be under the vest anyway so how could you read them? wanna see...
