    Toronto tests response to terrorist attacks

    This is finely coming to the line of continuing into the "what if" territory ;D (and you don't what to be that guy in the class) As with any critical incident all the neccessary avenues would be explored.  If a law enforcement agency found their investigation leading towards the need to involve...

    Commuter Cringe driving along the Gardiner in Toronto.

    I don't think I have met one reservist who hasn't had a story like this one at one time or another.  I have been on both sides of this myself. Its not neccesarily that they have forgotten but rather someone on our end hasn't spoken to the right person or it is almost always the way the info was...

    Reserve A-stan Tour in 2007; 36 bde

    (shakes head) Yes after that, I am regretting my earlier post in PAM's favour. :-[ Perhaps while PAM is reflecting on his/her poor choice of words PAM's profile could be expanded too?.

    Looking for current Marksmanship Badges regs

    according to section 6 Figure 3-6-3 it would be the other way around. Curious as well, being an annual qualification is there a limited time period in which you are entitled to wear these?

    I don't see a sycophant here but more of suggestion for someone to lose their chip.

    Best Coffee Joints

    Members of York Regional Police recognizing the importance of this famed drink raised some funds and purchased a couple pallets of Tim's for the troops in Kabul last year. One of our members has connections in the AF to have it cleared for transport over there.  It was reported that it was well...

    Security and Natural Disasters

    I think a few are little spent from that TTC thread and perhaps thats why no one has answered you yet. ;D or many are just waiting for the fallout before they answer back.  Nevertheless, some of your questions are difficult to answer in the short term. Working in LE, I haven't yet seen much...

    Toronto tests response to terrorist attacks

    I was away (thankfully) for a few days and returned to see this thread had 3 more pages added.  ;D GNR, Then you are getting into an area in which you are not qualified nor have a SMEA background.  Then suggest  a time out to read up on this area before you try to argue your point? I thought...

    Toronto tests response to terrorist attacks

    GNR, I think that your original question into why the CF has been answered by the many posts.  Just so we are straight, the  posters did not even come close to making a statement that they don't care.  It has been stated that this was first intial response test of local procedures. period.  As...

    Toronto tests response to terrorist attacks

    Simply, it was a test for First Responders.  To be a first responder you must be in the immediate vicinity/on duty at the time. This scenario is NOT an act of nature as we had the luxury of a weather forecast to get ready for. Sorry guys, I going to side with GW, the reserves and the system...

    British MP: Canada complicit in Iraq war

    http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2005/09/17/1221619-cp.html Looks like another modern version of Hanoi Jane.  Does anyone know how he is recieved in the UK?

    G Wagon C&R

    LW, I think it's important to remember this simple equation.  Milcots equals Training aid.  The use of the Milcot at your and my level does not mean that it has become official doctrine.  We use the Milcot because they are available and allow us to at least practice some of the tactics rather...

    ATV RECCE TRIALS

    Don't know which Unit you are with? or where were you, when we in Oshawa, were on them?  ::). (thinking of more negative than positive for ATVs right now) I, for one, am glad that I can put that trial behind me and at least get back to some semblance of organized recce training.

    New Forums & Sub-Forums? The Evolution of Army.ca

    I would agree with Bruce...There are many other options on the net for LEO info.  I would like to see this site remain as primarily as CF content (hence the site name). Although, I do welcome the addition of the new National Security  category to discuss issues that involve the 2 careers that...

    Use of Field Message Pad/Book

    I'll treat this as a legitimate question.. As I realise that there is no clear instructions on the FMP. (unlike most US equipment ;D) Carbon paper (aka field photocopier) is ripped out placed behind sheet and then the magic occurs. You start writing and low and behold a copy of the notation is...

    wearing military clothes off base

    Next time, speak with your chain of command first before posting a question like this.  I'm sure there are competent senior pers to sort your misguided thoughts on the use of Her Majesty's Uniform.  Common sense prevails here.  Questions of this nature merely fuel the fires for Reserve/Reg...

    Passports for Tours?

    Something I didn't know when I had to have my Birth Cert and Passport re-issued... but if you find yourself in a pinch to have a new passport and time is short to your departure you may send the application through your local MP office which can speed up the issue process significantly.  I would...
