apparently, theres only a bunch of theories about it, including that the sailors were just fed up with Halifax and its citizens, and had been claiming for months that they would trash the city on VE Day...  but the definite spark was probably the thousands of sailors loose in the streets with...

Some day I will be Emperor of all the World Ill start with my room and move up from there...  >:D

Coming from a port security/FIBUA exercise from last weekend, whilst on an OP on Lake Superior. "The boat will be there in half an hour" ... :blotto:

In the same situation, would one of our LAVs have fared as well?   I'm assuming that we would be able to mount the protective "skirts" that the Striker had, but would the turret complicate things in a roll? - edit - My question stops at OPSEC.

I was told that scholarships/bursaries were subtracted as well  :(

Do they do the CF swim test in swim trunks on REG force basic, or are they just for swim PT? I just did the CF swim test last night, wearing combats (sans boots, because of pool regs).  I also heard the some places use rubber rifles, if available? Having done a swim test in both OD and CADPAT...

Unless you are an officer/senior NCO, or on a longer-term contract, there is no "daily" tasks per se, on the weekly parade nights, you attend lectures/training at your armoury, and on certain weekends, you get to practice those skills learnt out in the field, for a variety of tasks - ie...

According to "Captain" Righty's previous posts, he is a 16 year old high school student who finished a co-op basic in the reserves just this year.   Don't let his words or title get to you   >:( - excuse my ignorance, but how many Gs can helicoptors pull, and does it greatly affect the...

Sir, the way it looks now, I've been told that the BIQ plan for us is most likely a No-Go (probably because of the logistics involved for flying us over), and we should just wait for summer...again... -  Thankfully, my unit has good officers, who plan to include us in as much of the unit...

Could be worse....anybody see that Simpsons episode where they visit Toronto, and see the "Dodgers of Foreign Wars" legion/museum? Just imagine using your taxes for that!  :o

Will next year's exercise focus on the same types of training, though?  The armoured guys did say that we were one of the last groups to have a chance to work with the Leopards before they are removed from service  :(  and I think at least my brigade is focusing the year on whatever the current...

:threat:  At end ex, they had the LSSR guys counting and linking ammo, because our companies did not return it the proper way, and they chose us because we didn't leave until the next day  >:( but I as well have a few active edge photos, including several vehicles -...

I just got in the door a 1/2 hour ago, and I thought the exercise was really good training, albeit a few letdowns (mainly, the lack of repeatedly promiesd helo ops, and the aforementioned lack of enemy for non-live A Coy during their attack.  The rain during the first few days was definitely...

Bah i hate having to put Private Recruit...when im Private (Basic)  :P but...its the closest applicable....

Thats our claymore version right?  Except technically not a mine, because of no tripwire?

On my basic i was told the story (by instructors) that Americans would be unable to keep in formation if they stop singing cadences while running, as they get so used to the rhythm.   That is the reason for cadences after all.   Whether this is true or not...   ;D

Well for one thing, in the reserves, you are only paid for the work you do (1/2 days or full days).  There is no minimum amount you receive per month (unless on a contract, course, tasking, basically), so if are unable to attend all parade nights, you won't get paid for the ones you miss.  On...
