Fixed my reply above, and thanks ;D

Thanks for all the short answers!  ;D :salute: (no sarcasm intended) Edited to add additional response: (I typed my reply before it was added) Okay, thank you, that does make much more sense to me. I feel more reassured about the relevance of the AOPS now for sure, that's what I was mainly...

So is all the class can do is just break light ice and be a body up in the arctic to remind everyone we own it? And then if need be pick off little boats with the 25mm?

I've been following this thread for quite some time and please forgive my ignorance, the closest thing to any sort of naval experience I have is being in the royal canadian sea cadets, but there's one 'issue' that perplexes about this ship. If the heaviest armament on this ship is a 25mm gun...

Rest in peace from your fellow cadets at HMCS Quadra. This is very saddening. 

Noted! Thanks I don't keep up too much with the special forces because how sneaky secret they are makes that difficult :P Why are people jumping to other trades? Is there not a lot going on right now for the "combat arms" folks?

I had no idea I'd be starting such a big debate :o but it makes for good reading. Thanks for all the replies! Hahahaha ;D I thought that might be the situation ^

Oh, I didn't know that was the case haha, thank you!

The most recent statistic I can find online for the size of the army is 21,600 (active), but when I counted up the size of all the infantry, armoured, artillery, engineer, and service support battalions/regiments using usual size definitions (ie: 600 in a battalion) the number I came up with was...

Okay! Thank you, you're right I wasn't very specific with my question. I'm torn between combat engineer or infantry, and again still pondering between NCM or officer. Thank you for the insight, I never really looked at it that way.

I've seen a few articles and even read people on army.ca saying there is a very top heavy ratio of officers to NCM, so for someone who doesn't mind either route would applying as an NCM be more beneficial and/or helpful to the CAF? (Apologies in advance if this has already been answered and/or...

Thank you!

A quick question from the civvi side; Do you have to be a bos'n to apply for ANBP? After I wrap up grade 12 I was thinking of going to the combat engineers (having troubles deciding between NCM or officer, the latter being what ma and pa want -_-) but the prospect of ANBP has really sparked my...

Okay thank you, I understand it a bit better now. (I hope that they really didn't mean to shoot you  ;D)

Please forgive my ignorance, but how dim must the Kurdish forces be to mistake highly and well equipped spec ops for a bunch of ragtag ISIS fighters? I hope they properly deal with those who are guilty. :cdn: :salute: RIP Sgt. Doiron, and thank you for your service. Hoping for a speedy...

I just saw on CBC news that the shooter had told his aunt the night before that he had converted to Islam and that he was recently trying to obtain a Libyan passport. I know that's a few borders away from ISIL/ISIS but I think that's still an apparent link nonetheless. (I am just a civi though...

Thank you! I'll start really looking into all that, it's good to hear it from somebody who's done it, so thanks for taking some time to respond.

I'm taking calculus math and honours physics (+chem, English and French) and I'm aspiring to become an engineer officer as well, so what bachelor degree do you think I should go for? I'm not super familiar with all the different options that would be accepted/recomended. Also how long would it...

Sorry I'll just go back and read
