I‘ve been hearing a lot o interest lately about military engineers. I have great ambition to pursue that profession. However, I was wondering about the history of Military engineering. There are not many articles out there, not as much as the other combat arms. I have not been able to find...

At Waterloo, we are required to read the book titled Introdutction to Professional Engineering in Canada (Andrews, Aplevich, et al., 2003). Some of the facts about engineering are: -The term engineer derives from the latin word ingenium, meaning talent, genius cleverness, or native ability...

Hi, Well I wore a timex when I was in the field and it was great the only bad thing about it is that the watch strap would smell after a few days of sweat. I think one of the most durable watches are seiko‘s. They are a little expensive but well worth it. they make great diving watches. I...

That‘s the whole probelm with this day and age This photo could very easily be construed as funny. The problem is, unless you‘re living in a military junta where soldiers have free reign, military personnel will always be subordinate to civilian authorities and they most probably will not...

My goodness, personally I do not find that funny at all, I‘m sure his commanders wouldn‘t find that funny. That picture getting around the net does the Marines a great disservice. I hope his platoon or company gets a look at that picture. That, I hope, does not repersent the quality of troops...

Hey Northern Touch Well unfotunately that day was a specially put aside to let ppl not at the university see what the school was about. However, I‘m sure if u came in and asked around they‘d be happy to show you, they would love input from ppl who would use this equipment adn show a general...

The other day I was leading a tour for prospective engineering students at school and we were given a presentaiotn by some bio mechanical engineering students, I must commend them even though I‘m a Civ, who were doing research into protective equipment for the army. Did anyone ever get the...

I wouldn‘t be surprised about the lack of infantry officers or the busy Kitchener recruiting office. I‘ve been trying to contact them for the past few days by phone and email (can‘t go personally because of crazy school load) and no one has gotten back to me. On the other point when I was at...

Hey trynanog, that is rather disconcerting. I bet all you upper year guys and engineers are laughing at us. It seems forever away. well I‘m in civil engineering, and I‘m really interested in structures but then isn‘t everyone. I like materials and we got some lectures from transportation...

You can try searching under the Engineering forumn in the Combat Arms Section for more information. An engineer does a lot of similar training as the infantry while incorporating engineering services. you can also see aen engineering profile at the dnd recruiting website...

That‘s awesome hsndrake. I still ahve a few years before I even graduate from school but whatever information you can get about the P.Eng. would be greatly appreciated. Not much time as a first year student to go hunting around looking for all this stuff

Hi Koach, it seems like you‘ve been working recruiting lately, so I was gonna ask in terms of VFS, I read that in the past few years, if you were in the forces after 2001 or so that your record will be in a databse somewhere and it should be easier to obtain your VFS. Does this exist, cause Is...

I won‘t be able to go in the summer because I‘ll be on my co-op term and I‘ll be working in Toronto. Hopefully, when i do go, the unit will still be taking ppl. I‘m still not getting anything from the recruiting folks, but I‘m sure it‘ll be a good unit when things get settled!! Good luck...

As an aside, I heard somewhere that if you‘re an aboriginal from Canada, you can join the US military. Something about a duel citizenship thing. I remember reading in it during the war in iraq. However some Canadian families were concerned about there sons fighting a war they didn‘t believe...
