Well, how many Army.ca members attended this year? What were you thoughts?

Hmm.... good info, thanks. We've been warned it can cook off evil joo joo when being ground and sanded as well. Perhaps it's not so bad after all.

I've got this one: http://www.timex.ca/EXPEDITION-VIBRATION-ALARM-SKT49851GP-P974C166.aspx?l=e The vibe alarm was a big selling point for me. It's nice to be able to get up for a midnight task without waking everyone up. Rugged case, good battery life, easy battery to change, multiple alarm...

That was my plan, really. My main concern is cutting and sanding the original paint. Is it a dust mask outside job, or a full respirator job. One gets done this week, the other waits until I get my respirator home next week.

Did she get a blister on the tongue? Those new boots are a hooker to break in.

Does anyone know what paint is used on our ammo cans is CARC, or just generic OD rattlecan stuff? Looking to modify one, and I want to ensure I am safe about it, and use  compatible paint.

Well we haven't printed the t shirts yet, but I suppose you're right.

Bad news for everyone except the owners of the Carly and the Cambie. Now the LFWA PRes rifle team needs a new meeting hall this weekend.

Now this is interesting. Being near completely ignorant of Cuba in general, I can't help but wonder what they could offer North Korea? Would there be old Soviet surplus there still? If so, what would the North need it for? I thought they had a fairly well stocked arsenal (though allegedly a...

You're right, they should have left the devices sit another day and be picked up on the second to avoid an air of cheesiness.

RCMP have two suspects in custody with respect to an alleged bombing attempt at the BC Legislature Buildings on Canada Day. http://www.timescolonist.com/former-victoria-man-and-woman-charged-in-terrorist-plot-at-legislature-on-canada-day-1.340077 "RCMP said at a news conference in Surrey that...

Bro, they got brownies on this gig? Excellent. Yes, we had a staff check this week, but as mentioned, courses and taskings have claimed some members already. On that note, if you're on course, and your home unit is tasked for something like the current dom ops, can you get home to help, or...

Is there a COF for public consumption out there somewhere?

Hope all is well. Any updates for your friend?

I keep seeing immersion heaters being referred to in the past tense. Are we not supposed to take them to field anymore?  ;)

That seems to be happening in all areas, no? We're in a similar scenario in BC with the closure of ASU Cilliwack. Some if there members are now working out of the Sherman Armoury in Richmond, and some of the vacuum is to be filled by the rest of 39 SVC BN. We're looking at a big adjustment...

Thank you very much for the reply. It will be interesting to see the breakdown of all this.

I've been hearing more and more talk of having the MATS TECH return to the PRes SVC BNs over the past 6 months or so. As a civvie welder who's waited over 3 years for trades training as a VEH TECH, this talk has me very interested. Does anyone here have any further info on this? My CoC supports...

Hatchet man beat me to it while I was typing. Though in our case we have such a long standing tradition of helping out around the world, it would be almost selfish of us to just quit the game. I feel we still have much to offer the world, and are pretty much obliged to assist where we can.

I can't speak for all the SVC BN trades, but the comment about the VEH TECH trades training being similar is quite false. It is much shorter  n the reserves, and the course content is fairly different. There is a lot of equipment we don't see in the reserves, and as such we don't (generally) get...
