Mark, I agree but do not let the UN off either, they have a responsibility to remove unarmed MILOBS once the situation begins to deteriorate.

TR - Exactly.

I met an older fellow in Sierra Leone who fought for the British during WW2 (IIRC in India/Burmese theatre).  As soon as he saw me, he immediately took out his papers, protected in a plastic bag, and discussed his service to his formal colonial masters.  I wish I would have had a tape recorder...

Gents, This is why preparing for your retirement/transition to civilian life is so important, particularly for combat arms members.  If you haven't already done so, go to the next SCAN session as they will help you know about and access programs designed for your benefit.  If you still have...

Now that I reread the thread, there is a lot of crap in there as well.  Sorry about that, you'll have to read between to get at the good discussion.

Our honours and awards system, based on our traditions, are different. There is a well established diplomatic method for CF members to be authorized to wear foreign medals.  It takes awhile but it does work.  Quite a few Canadians (some would cynically say most), sr NCOs and sr officers, who...

There was a good thread on the wound stripe, take a look as I think it provides the reference of where to wear it. http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/31133.0.html

SBD, I think the problems we have in cbt arms units are not going to be solved by issuing badges (eg Commander in Chief Commendation). Vets (all of us) should wear our medals and be very proud of our service.  To truly understand what the medals mean, you really need to talk with the WW2...

Thanks rmacqueen, I didn't see that.  I reiterate my comment - until he is finished his training and actually posted, focus on furthering yourself.   

Ok, Intermittent contact is not surprising as the guy is busy and probably working harder than he ever has in his life.  Hopefully he will begin to use some of his free time to better use (although, to be fair, there may be 30 other guys all trying to use a phone...)  Not being paid for 7...

My apologies for using my "mod powers" to break the lock on this thread.  If you have something to add, plse email a mod. von Garvin, you may be correct as I am certainly not an expert.  From what I can google: It's a moot arguement above Capt...

I do not believe so.  You will be taxed at your tax rate when the money is received.

Ladies, let's keep the specific deployment dates out of your postings.  No sense in helping Mr Osama or Mr Omar in what they are trying to do.  Thanks

Fielder are you common law with this fellow or are a just a girlfriend?

That's why a "radio chatter" forum was created...for drivel.
