Done that, in rank and file, for a whole summer. Never even thought about passing out. Even severely hungover. More pt. And don't worry, as the photos will attest, the Camerons will always be there to drag the Guards out of eyesight.

Last week I flew back home after 7 months in Afghanistan. When our Airbus entered Canadian air space, we looked outside our window and were startled to see our plane being flanked by two CF-18 fighter jets. They were matching speed and baring and flying one on each side. We all went to the...

Part of battle procedure is to replace all your batteries. And don't forget the PRR, which no one mentioned here yet.. that's 2 AAs.

box 43 being the amount of box 14 that is non-taxable, or is that a sum on top of box 14? The other benefits.. hazard pay, FOA, and even TD claims... these are not shown on the T4 correct?

Reservists sent to 2CMBG for pre-training are put on Class C service and given TD for the duration of their stay. At least, that was the case for Rotos 2 and 6.. Roto 9 should be no different. Even though my pre-training was 8 months, which should imply an attach posting vice TD, all reservists...

Just got back a few days ago. Time to do my taxes. I have my T4 from the CF.. I'm wondering what to tell my accountant about the taxes. On my T4, where it says employment income (box 14), is that my employment income for the last year including the tax-free income I received overseas? Does it...

Moreover, the goal is to influence the Afghan public opinion vice the Canadian one. The en is acutely aware that winning the IO campaign is critical to winning the counter-insurgency. If they are goading us into shooting civilians, it would not surprise me in the least.

Is there a link for this CP story?

Thank you for the informative discussion. I haven't installed it yet... but debating now whether or not to do so. I'll follow this with close attention..

I just bought the Skydex helmet pads in advance of my deployment in the next short while. Before I install them, I was wondering if anyone had any techincal data on the blast (not ballistic) protection provided by these pads versus the issued styrofoam/leather net. Specifically, I heard someone...

1-10 is LFCA (1 RCR)

What does it matter if the Taliban likes the news coverage they got? The Globe and Mail reported the news, as it happened. For the one story of theirs that the Taliban enjoyed, I'm sure they didn't enjoy the rest of the articles over the last 6 years reporting ISAF successes.

No one is going to take care of you in the reserves. Get your prescription from your doctor, take it to your ASU, and they will order them. You will not get them issued on course because the reserve schools (ARC) don't have the resources to do so.

I'll preface what I am about to say by admitting that I haven't read the last 7 pages of this thread. It was the title that drew my attention: "I guess democracy doesn't work...protests on Afghan mission." The protests this past weekend are perfect evidence that our democracy works. I support...

The majority of the Reservists slated to deploy on 3-08 are on Class C until the middle of the summer. The intent is to have them sign new contracts to see them through their deployment, assuming they pass their training. There's about 400 reservists in this situation. What would happen if they...

Executive summary please?

More on Pakistan's turmoil.... Beanzir Bhutto was assassinated today.

You're insinuating that my statement was incorrect? You think Presidents Bush and Ahmadinejad actually represent the views of their population? Bush is running about a one-third approval rate, the Republican party itself is distancing itself from him and his policies, as it fears it will only...

The NIE I referenced previously stated that if the Iranians decided to restart their weapons program in the future, it would still take them between 5 and 8 years to develop a bomb. That's more than enough time to implement sanctions / launch a strike at their nuclear facilities, as most of you...

Well, last year N.Korea came back to the bargaining table and tensions appear to be lowering; North and South Korea are now operating a train across their border for the first time since 1952. The NIE released last month that stated with "high confidence" that Iran halted its nuclear weapons...
