I'm not going to defend the admittedly numerous bungles the United Nations is responsible for. You have to understand that the United Nations is responsible for many more things then merely the ones that they have done wrong. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to call for an outright abolition of the...

You are making pretty wild assertions. You have to realize the United Nations is the largest bureaucracy in the world and is responsible for many more things then merely Afghanistan. The UN oversees the World Health Organization in its fight against bird flu, the United Nations Development...

I don't quite understand how you could ask that question. The reason he resigned is because he failed to win support for his motion to keep troops deployed. The parliament is against him and wants to bring them home. So, anyone that takes over as president will likely have to pull out the troops...

Uplands or Connaught? Hmm..

So the gears are in motion and the call-out has been issued, and everyone in LFCA is talking about 3-08. I've put up a memo requesting nomination for this tour. While I'd be satisfied with whatever role they give me, be it D+S... reg force augmentee, or whathaveyou, I'm quite interested in...

Guindo's a character alright. Advance.

Well, I can't argue your points since you don't reference them. They appear nothing more then vague generalizations. I do want to point out that the Marshall plan was not merely for Germany and Japan. The so-called Marshall Plan was aimed at lifting all the war torn nations of Europe, notably...

How about a few Canadian biopharmaceutical firms open up shop in Kabul and start using the plentiful supply of poppies to mass-produce opiate-derived pain medication, namely morophine? I think Afghanistan has a significant comparative advantage in this sector which is just waiting to be tapped...

I really want to go overseas on one of the next few rotations, but why shoudl I take the next three semesters off of school go on TF 2-08 when I'll get stood down and not even get the year-long employment I was expecting?

My sister wants to send a letter to a random soldier overseas for christmas. Preferably someone serving outside the wire, in a FOB or otherwise. Is there an address for this?

The questions he asked you seem more like something you would ask an experienced soldier. If he wanted to do a focus piece on recruits in the army, he should have asked questions more along the lines of why you joined, what's your motivation, what are your career goals, etc.

I see.. Lucas, you don't know the meaning of the term "grey man", do you? Learn it and live by it.

Anyone know of anyway for reserve military pers to get cheap/free physio? I'm based out of Ottawa. Is PSP at NDHQ a good place to check? I pulled my hamstring and I need to get this healed or I won't be able to go on any exercises.

Thanks guys.

Judging by the fact that I don't even know what that acronym stands for-- no, I don't believe I do.

In preparation to apply for a tour, we've been told about the difficulties involved in DAGging green. Where can I find a checklist of what it takes to DAG green?

Ref: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lfwa/tf108/cmd_message.htm What's the likelihood of getting on TF 01-08 (it being a LFWA / 2PPCLI / 2CMBG tour), myself being a LFCA reservist? I'm going to submit a memo next week asking to be nominated. I have 2.5 years in, comms, drivers, DP2A, and PLQ mods 2-4.
