Seems legit... ::)

I think people are making this a bigger deal than it needs to be. If I were on class C right now, I probably would still be keeping my beard reasonably short (as I do throughout the training year) and I know that if I got a call saying report in tomorrow morning, clean shaven, it would probably...

My wife's been following this a lot closer than I have, so she's been sending me updates of stuff that doesn't air on the show. He's now telling the girl he's been spending all his time with that he is thinking about reenlisting and asking her if she would move to Petawawa with him. She asks him...

Fair point G2G about the PAO, especially the 39 CBG Instagram...a year or two ago it was actually hacked by someone in Russia.

As you say, as long as he stays in his arcs he might be okay. But isn't the golden rule to always clear anything that puts you in public eye with the PAFO so that you know where your arcs are? Maybe that's just a unit SOP. But at the very least, I can see him getting his wrist slapped over not...

His exact words to his female house mate (when they were alone, of course): Do you want to hear army stories? Can I trust you? I served for six and a half years in the military. To your point, he doesn't clarify reg/reserve service. Interesting use of the past tense as well, despite being a...

I think the concern is he could say something to discredit the CAF.

Oops on the spelling...I haven't received my caffeine yet. It's heading towards embarrassing, especially since he's already hyped himself up and slightly misrepresented himself. But I know what road it's likely to go down when he couldn't hold it in any longer and just had to tell one of his...

To be honest, I'm surprised this potential circus hasn't come up on here before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7voqOLLKZ-o Member of B Coy, Rocky Mountain Rangers, completed special forces selection and now appearing on Big Brother Canada. According to several sources, this wasn't cleared...

With the Aussies, it's the Pioneer Sergeant who has the beard. I've heard the same holds true for the Brits. When an Aussie Pioneer Sergeant is moved out of the Pioneer platoon, there is a battalion parade and the CO shaves off the Sergeant's beard in front of the entire battalion.

The private he was in the vehicle with made the "mistake" of mentioning what regiment he belongs to...

Took a walk in Suffield to go see the stand of trees we could see from camp. We thought it was about a kilometer, it was actually closer to two (if not over). The trees were dead and the "pond" they surrounded was filled with black water. But it was a nice, sunny day and we had the afternoon off...

MCG - yes, reserve. And I think you're absolutely right in terms of training and resources.

And that's what we've been preaching. We're an organic asset to be used internally to do jobs that the engineers don't have time or manpower to do.

Much of that stuff is retained. We've used chainsaws, pionjar and just wrapped up the HP1 this weekend - we're being tested on it in two weeks time, along with our knots. We've covered steel wire rope, we've built bipods and reinforced tripods, we've covered derricks, shears and gyns. We won't...

Isn't that what the cyberoperators are for?

Medicineman, I 100% get the frustration. At the time I was very unhappy with how it played out and while now I understand (I think) why it went that way, it doesn't mean I'm happy about it. The entire process took me, I would say, almost a year. I was sworn in 1 year and 51 weeks after applying...

When I was rejected for childhood asthma, I appealed it. I performed the diagnostic testing the RMO required, had a positive outcome and a note from a pulmonary specialist stating he saw no evidence of asthma. I was rejected and stated I need to carry out a different diagnostic test. I did, and...

About five years ago I randomly developed a...sensitivity...to eggs. But not fully cooked eggs; only undercooked or raw eggs, likely the whites. My lips, cheeks, tongue and throat would swell slightly. Even if my hand came in contact with raw egg white, it would get itchy. I avoided eggs for a...

I noticed that Logitisk Unicorp is now offering me brogues and the Oxfords are completely gone. When did this change come about - more importantly, when did brogues become the standard for NCMs in highland units. In the fall I heard rumours that they were authorized for MCpl and above, but...
