16 days 2 hours and 14 minutes as of this post - my usage goes up whenever i have an essay/project that I am working on at my desk.

According to the NATO site, Slovenia had contributed to SFOR

I know my own area stresses media relations a lot - for military exercises and recruiting events alike.   There is good reason for this, as the local media has a way of misinterpreting, or taking things out of context. An example of this was last year: my local newspaper had printed a story on...

  ;)  He mentions one of his coursemates by name, and his army.ca profile probably gives a fair bit of info out - I agree, that you should watch what you say - remember that your course is far from over...

Yeah its true that it focussed too much on the infantry with some engineer support, when they could have shown more interaction with the other elements  - I konw that on LFWA's Active Edge, I was exposed to armour, mechanized LAV's and CSS in the form of transport vehicles, and a trip to the BMS...

It seemed to me though  that they were more talking to the camera operator - who even was egging them on for some comments - I like how when they asked an nco if he kicked ass, and he responded with a professional assessment of the situation (right before the ending counterattack)

Well IIRC there was a comms unit (as well as others) involved in 1994, after the genocide had come into effect.

In Rwanda?  IIRC.....    2 ......with UNAMIR - General Dallaire and his aide.  And a CF herc was involved somewhere - but more Canadians werent there until later.

there was a brief discussion here late last year on the benefits of black humour http://army.ca/forums/threads/23295/post-129149.html#msg129149

My apologies, I should have said that Tecumseh and his confederacy were located on the American side - I knew they considered themselves independent from the US, hence their alliance with the British with the hopes to gain their sovereignty.

If we want to look at heroes on the Canadian side, we should indeed consider the efforts of Tecumseh's Indian Confederacy - without his help, certain early victories (like Detroit) would not have been possible - and the irony is he was American to boot  :P  I know our military has honoured him...

as far as i can tell tho, it looks to be less of a robot and more of a remote control vehicle - so its a soldier fighting with it - id assume that they wouldnt be out there alone, and maybe if a squad came under contact, the robot would be sent around out of their cover to engage the threat?  I...

I saw this notice posted in my armoury - I suppose its for the best, considering how many of us on Active Edge 04 had our participation in doubt because of only having our SQ course - thankfully being able to participate to a certain extent, but not entirely. I wonder if this will affect the...

Its a CF idiom - so that rifles (personal weapon) are differentiated from machine "guns"  - if you call a C7 a gun on course, you (and your coursemates) could be in for some nasty surprises  ;)

correct! :salute: http://www.archives.mcgill.ca/resources/guide/vol2_3/gen06.htm

Oops I should have specified - I was thinking of a more permanent act, as I believe the Incorporated Militia were disbanded after the war ended - the one im thinking of is more towards the mid-19th century  ;)

exactly 10 minutes to the second?  ;D time to put my history class knowledge to good use - which governmental act during the 19th century first created the first paid volunteer force that was recognizable as the canadian militia?

I remember he spoke tagalog and WASNT from Buenos Aires, so was he from the Phillipines?  i havent read it in a while  :-\

Nobody has mentioned yet about the people who ask questions without doing a search first?  As well, the people who respond to criticism by becoming aggressive and insulting to others.

1.  A military engineer who specializes in sapping and other field fortification activities. 2.  A military engineer who lays, detects, and disarms mines. In the CF, Sapper is the title for a trained engineer private, the same way they are called "gunner" in the artillery and "trooper" in an...
