Seriously though, While I am not saying that Canada would never be the target of a terrorist attack, the chances are slim.  It is much more likely that Canada would be used as a staging ground for terrorist attacks against the US.  This argument has been made numerous times.  Our proximity to...

I say it would either be Flin Flon, Manitoba or Sarnia, Ontario.

Yah, I've completed everything but am still waiting on my background check.  Is been oh about 5 months now, but that's because I lived outside of Canada for a while.  Besides, there are people on this forum that have been waiting for almost a year to over a year.

I'm not a member of the Int Branch, let alone the army...but here's the link to that kitshop: http://www.intbranch.org/kit.html

Wait in line my friend...if you do a search you'll find out that some people have been waiting alot longer then 2 weeks...so don't hold your breath...

Those are some pretty intense workout schedules! The routine I followed was borrowed from the British Army's Parachute Regiment.  I haven't been doing it for a month now because I've been Busy/Lazy...but it's a great workout...I've stuck the link below if anyone is interested because I am not...

Hey, its a decent question I thought...if you have nothing worthwhile to contribute then please refrain from making childish comments like that.  Leave this website to people who are actually interested in the CF.

I have never, ever, ever laughed so hard in my life...

Acorn: 1)"Why do some people use ellipses instead of periods or commas when they write in the internet?" I'm sorry, I'll refrain from doing so in the future.  I tend to write the way I think, in spurts. 2)"Anyway, there are some issues involved when it comes to the difference between...

"As for going into res INT directly off the street, I'd highly recommend going into another trades for a couple years first. Trust me, it's HARD to learn the ropes if you're fresh off the street. Transfering from another trade gives you a much greater appreciation for how they work." Thanks for...

I was told by a recruiter from 2 Int Coy that a common route is to join a Int unit as a Reserve Int Officer and then transfer over to Reg Force after a few years.  Apparantly a fair number of Reserve Officers do this every year...The recruiter told me that they usually pick the top candidates...

When I was at Uni in the UK for the first time back in 1997 I was busy relieving myself in the cafeteria toilet when an older fellow walked in to do his own business...well as I was turning around, zipping my trousers up I happened to glance at the old guy as he sidled up to the urinal next to...

"It's always better somewhere else.  The British Army don't have the same benefits that we have." How so?  Could you elaborate?  I'm just curious to hear your take on that?  Not trying to pick a fight...

Incidentally, I was at the bar tonight and I spoke to a lad who was in the Seaforth Highlanders here in BC for a few years...he's trying to get into the Royal Marines and he said that they have waived the 5 year residency for him...they already sent him all the application stuff and he said they...

It's hard to find alot of info on Canada's military intelligence structure.  I've read that it is unified across all three services.  So does that mean that there are no service specific intelligence units?  The reason I ask is because I read on another thread here a few days ago that there are...

The point I'm trying to make...and maybe I didn't make it all that well is this: A country's military, whether it be Canada's, the UK's or wherever, represents that country overseas and at home, in the case of Canada for example, we as a country expect our troops to be professional and to act...

"The fact that the army was aware of the repeated violent, predatory behaviour of men such as Lance Corporal Leslie Skinner (convicted in 2004 of a series of sexual attacks on young recruits) and Lance Corporal David Atkinson (who murdered Cambridge student Sally Geeson on New Year's Day), is...

Jascar, Sorry if I came across as discouraging.  It is all kind of confusing because there seems to be alot of conflicting statements coming from over there as to the app process...and I am sure that there is a difference between the NCM and the Officer application procedures...I was just...

Hear Hear, I'm not trying to discourage anyone either...sorry if I came across that way...

Definitely, When I first considered doing the officer app I'll admit I had fantatic visions in my head about going to Sandhurst etc etc.  After a while though, I realized what I was really considering...even after having lived there for 2 years I still knew it would be a big adjustment...and...
