"It's just unfortunate that the crap-pump Res soldier is the one that Reg Force guys seem to end up seeing, and then use as an example of what is wrong with the Reserves." The same can be said for the opposite side of the coin as well. Some RSS punted to the P Res in the past were prime...

Quote from: geo on Today at 16:46:53 (eg: Reserve Engineer Cpl with a Civil Engineer's degree - he's in it for the fun of it all) (So, he can tell you the square root of a jar of pickles, but can't get the lid off....) No, but he can at least read the instructions on the label on how to open...

Stephen Harper actually announced he wants to increase military presence in our cities. Canadian cities. Soldiers with guns. In our cities. In Canada. We did not make this up. Choose your Canada" Soooo is this an increase and addition to the 149 militia units out there now?  Geesh. No wonder...

"How about: -small arms ammuntion (so soldiers can fire live more than once a year) -equipment (such as enough radios that work, NVGs you don't have to beg for) -weapons (a company needs more than one 84 mm) -spare parts (so the Reg F doesn't have to cannibalize stocks for deployments, leaving...

"Therefore, the concept of a Reserve pension should be scrapped and the money and PYs put towards more pressing requirements." I just have to ask what would be more pressing? Maybe another study on combat bras or a new vehicle that can't fire sideways on a hill without killing the crew when she...

Hmmm  fond memories of Yalie girls at toadies bar...... yes I seem to remember there were a few hot girls going there. Mostly old money or pennyless on scholorships. Adjust your fire accordingly. Lux et Veritas TM

Watch yer back if you end up in New Haven. I think Elvis had a song about the area surrounding that campus  :) I was just in New Haven a few weeks ago and they seem like they have cleaned up the place a bit since I was there in '81...however. Lux et veritas Go Yale TM

When you have just barely turned 17 and you are on your first winter exercise and someone ( read in the troop Sgt ) doesn't tell you anything except to light the stove outside the tent, put the cans in the pressure cooker, add water and boil it, but doesn't mentioning the open the cans first...

Little cans of bacon and of course the little cans of corn beef hash... Oh and the white malted milk and caravan chocky bars... they didn't start out that white... On winter ex Jan '77 Trooper P Numpty, who was new to the Regt was dead keen to do a good job as the tent's cook and cheerfully...

Thanks, do you know what CIF means? I'm looking at the 49 yr old WO and what he would get. These amounts are after he paid back all his former service at a set rate? I'm also confused about the taxable income part for the transfer from pension plan. The text is small and the eyes are old. TM

Ummm perhaps its just me, but isn't there a really big problem with phasing out the CFRG  ( gratuity ) in favor of a severance package based on actual days worked? TM

"Bottom line is that people are willing to do these "cheapskate" class Bs, and if that's what the market will bear, well, we have to stay competitive right? It IS still a part time job after all." I think you will find most long term Class B(A)'s and even some B's run from April 1 to Mar 31st...

Geepers George, same place but I never had a problem. Yes the bathroom door is very poorly located, but no to money first before coffee. But it might be simply because I'm tall and really good looking  ;) Prolly not eh? I take my crew down there for coffee every so often and we get great service. TM

Devil dog is one of the brightest guys I know and his journey to join the USMC could be a movie of the week considering the obstacles he had to overcome. The sad part of this whole story is he had to leave Canada and join the USMC to actually feel like a full mbr of a team due to his ill...

Nothing but good things at the new Timmies on the highway near Gagetown. They even made a big deal about giving me a bunch of those red poppy centered quarters in my change one day. However, you run into all kinds. I just ignore the twits and carry on. TM
