I've read some reviews about this, looks pretty interesting. Especially their use of unconventional venues. Now if only they would come to Montreal - Black Watch at the Black Watch...

Why are only militia units permitted this order of dress?

I've seen the photo of the execution a hundred times, and it still gives me shivers. I remember there being corresponding video footage of this event too - cut off right when the bullet meets the head.

Yeah, it works fine. Unless you happen to be in a Highland unit; then it just makes you look like a flasher. Looking from the bottom up, spats, hose, bare legs and then that long coat doesn't go over well. Members of our unit training for deployment with the regs had to carefully point out this...

Point taken, Geo.

Geo - I've heard it announced  several times, several different routes - 24, 80, 103, 165... All in French, though. Granted, it's not required in any language, I'm just referencing the recent news item in which a certain newspaper reported how 'difficult' it is to be served in French in Montreal.

Traditional French service? I'm an English Quebecer, and I resent that. Still, God help me if I ever suggest to a Montreal bus driver that he call stops in English...

Some of the products on that page are quite interesting...I wonder if the Ballistic Winter Cap could have a home in the CF?

Well, that's that. Off with the tin foil hat.

This may have been addressed somewhere before, forgive me if it has... When I joined a couple of years back I got a little slip of paper for with my service number that I had to input for my CFAT. We were told it was a random letter/number combination. Yesterday, looking at the coy paysheet, I...

I've used carabiners attached to the daisy-chain webbing on the small pack to attach it to the side loops on the main bag of the 84, but next ex, I'll try the valise idea.

I've actually seen the no smoking rule violated on occasion...I won't say where, but cigarettes, bearskins and red tunics don't mix...

No. From Stand at Ease to Stand Easy, the count is 1-2-3-1.

While I wish Mr Bisson well, and hope that he gets a package, I'm sure that when it all boils down, the ammo and supplies will come in more useful. Besides, there's nothing wrong with Christmas in February - beats no Christmas at all! Interesting to read this, I was on course with the guy...

For those of us without DIN access, would it be possible for someone to post the CTS update mentioned by Vern?

You're carrying pretty much what I carry and I generally don't have problems with it... Except the wash basin. I haven't used that since course, a canteen cup does the job.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH reading too fast again. We'll see. I'll be going in today to see what can or can't be done. Thanks anyway, at least I know where I stand now.

Well done! An excellent way to remember an excellent soldier.

Thanks, Vern, this is exactly what I needed. Promotion back on track.
