    The Via Rail Promotion For CF Members Thread

    So here's my problem. I'm to be enrolled July 25, so I would qualify for this amazing thank you from VIA. I plan on taking VIA from Toronto out to my friend's place, 2 hours away, on the 27th. Would I even have a temp Mil ID to use? Or do I just suck it up, carry on, and pay the price for the...

    F-22 or F-35

    Just an unknowing civvie here, but what would the problem be with replacing, at a 1:1 ratio or better (read: or more airframes) with F-18E/F? I understand that it would be a generation behind the -22 and -35.

    I hope you're not suggesting we keep our Sea Kings flying longer in an airborne cowboy role...

    IIRC, HMC Ships are paid off, not decommisioned.

    Naval High Collar White Tunic

    I think Reven means a high collar navy DEU, in black... Which, I think, would be pretty sharp.

    Who'll be the next CDS? Speculation here, please!!

    Two Generals with serious operational command experience (IE, commmanding multinational forces in a theatre of war), as well as both having been in the command team of corps (and for Nat, army) sized formations. I see good things ahead. I hope. Congrats General Natynczyk!

    "Worst Movie Of All Time"

    Pearl Harbour Mosquito Coast Windtalker All 3 are decent movies. Pearl Harbour is a really good movie. Good memories with that one.  ;D Worst. Movie. Ever. Made. Number 23. Every scene I thought Jim Carrey was going to turn around and crack a joke! The movie has an alright story line, but...

    What does your name mean?

    The Cheeky Monkey: a large yacht of the sail variety that my friend crewed on. The spinnaker had the image of a huge grinning monkey on it, but I can't help but think of this picture.

    WTB - Issued Army Barrack Box

    So no one has any leads? The new Pelican boxes are prohibitively expensive. The manufacturer of the "old" style OD barrack box was, IIRC, a Quebec company. What was the name of that company?

    WTB - Issued Army Barrack Box

    I would be more comfortable getting one of the issued ones. Their 1610 case looks to be the closest in size, but I would prefer one of the older style issued ones. The supply stores in my area don't carry any at the moment.

    WTB - Issued Army Barrack Box

    As the title says, I'm looking for a barrack box, preferably one in sound condition. New or used. PM if you have one, or know where I can get one.

    Canadian: Air Passenger bill of rights [Merged]

    I've flown AC, Sky Service, West Jet and North West Airlines. By far the best service was with NWA (damn well should have been too, flying first class as a silver elite member), but Sky Service is actually pretty good. They're the only airline that has complimentary meals on their flights. West...

    NSCE Finished?

    A better place to look would be the CadetWorld forums. I've heard the same thing, but about National PO1 Exams. http://www.cadet-world.com/

    ROTP 2008-2009

    Always a pain when that happens. I've been fortunate, I've had no problems thus far. Sea Ops is an interesting occupational grouping. Of the 3 trades under Sea Ops - MARS, Maritime Sys Eng and NCS Eng - 2 require engineering degrees. For someone like me, under the BA program, it should prove...

    Server Upgrade

    Military History box is broken again... It updated on the 18th, and again on the 19th, but it hasn't updated since. Dispite that, the site is faster. YAY for no more slow load times!

    Bernier's plane pledge catches Ottawa off guard

    Granted, but what does every child learn in elementary school? THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. With Bernier doing this, to Canadians with no knowledge of DND/CF, it makes the C-17s look not only unuseable, but even worse, a one trick pony. In a time where the CF needs all the support it can get for...
