Turntables are still in fashion... if you're a DJ. Ah, the black wax. Lugging that stuff around is good PT. :D PS: Some of you are really, really old! -A young whippersnapper. ;)

Only time 60mm with bipod was taught in reserves was back in 2003, at least in Ontario and only for 1 course. No firing table lesson either. Just direct role.

Religion can be a powerful force to break even family ties apart, esp. in more... backward nations.

heavens no. conscript army is a bane to a professional army unless you're looking for cannon fodders

Gents, (and ladies) Don't feed the trolls. People like Pike aren't looking for genuine debates, but merely being shit disturbers. More you respond to him, more his amusement grows.

Bullshit. There shouldn't be comtempt if there is any respect for professional and personnel character in the relationship.

So, what about MCpl disciplining a Cpl or Pte? Same mess, same drunken debaucheries. Or a buddy who goes CFR and now in higher chain of command position? If there has to be non fraternization between officers and NCMs in the name of discipline, somewhere down the line, someone forgot to tell...

And you were told who the Ruxted Group is. Bunch of people with mil exp present or past who wish to remain anonymous. It's not like editorials published anonymous is not without precedent.

Sheesh. I forgot all about this thread. :D The key thing that most seems to say is, don't forget to be human and use rank as an excuse to stop having relationships. Rank is artificial. Humanity is not. As long as both parties know where they stand in the food chain and how to conduct...

Got it issued. It is huge. How is one suppose to carry 82 pattern ruck plus the small pack now? And how rainproof is the small pack?

Went to a swear in ceremony the other day and the words change. I, bloggings, do swear to be faithful and bear true allegiance to Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada and all her heirs according to law. So help me God. Now it's more silly and long winded one. Can't recall the exact words.

Well, identities get found out pretty soon, once someone suss out that you're in his unit or whatnot. But a word of caution when... gossiping about other members as it will backfire on you eventually.

It's been a while since the last one and things might have changed. You get max of 2 votes, for those of you who are out of CF to indicate your rank at the time of your release/retirement and to note it. If you're a member of Canadian Navy or Air Force, tick off the rank equivalent to army and...
