So with all of these delays, what is the plan if Sikorsky can't deliver?  Continue to wait?  Look at a different helicopter? I'm interested to find out since the Sea Kings are aging rapidly.

Very true, I was thinking about that as I watched it.

I am sad to see that Parkie, Jack and others that contributed to this thread are now passed away.  The whole time I was reading I had goosebumps.  I am truly appreciative that the time was taken to provide us with these stories.  Even though it's now 3 years after the last post was made in this...

This seems very odd to me.  I know of some units that do have a preference for CFR's because the unit feels that it gives some much needed growing/learning time to a potential Officer, but I have never had the feeling that this is a total PRes mentality.  Very odd indeed, especially your last...

Epic! On a related note, going to see World War Z tonight, from the trailer these buggers move too fast for bayonets to be useful me thinks, but who knows.

Damn inflation *sits back in rocking chair*, I remember back in my day when someones opinion was only worth $0.02.  And yet funny with the phasing out of the penny the rounding down would put opinions at worth nothing. /tangent I too agree that this should not be a big deal, but who am I.

I agree overall with your statements regarding how a country deals with history, but the stories and personal experiences that were dealt with by the person on the ground in the air or on the sea help to lend context to the event. Overall I simply feel that we as Canadians and our education...

It's been approximately 11 years since I went through the ROTP process, but at the time I requested RMC and was given the CivU option.  Many factors come in to play such as bed spaces available at RMC etc. but I do believe you can request to go Civ U.  However, at the end of the day the powers...

OS, what were the handling drills like on the catapault anyway?  ;)

Wife sent this to me, I asked her if she was trying to tell me something.

Four U.S. soldiers are killed, and the Taliban openly claim responsibility for this.  Ya, great way to start the peace process.

That is still covered under OPSEC, no talking about it! However, if one were to hold a dinner in this most famous of battles I believe the dress is loin cloths with clubs as standard accoutrements. In all seriousness I do find this to be somewhat disheartening, and I'm not even a member of the...

Ofcourse.  While this is an unofficial privately owned forum that has no direct connection the Government of Canada or the Canadian Military, many of the members are current, former or aspiring members of the Canadian Forces.  Therefore great efforts are taken to ensure the information provided...

This is a case I'm sure where policy is being followed, but consideration has to be made and rules to every exception have to come into play.  At the very least allowing them to stay in the home until other suitable arrangements can be made for the welfare of the family as a whole and their 13...

Nice write up and pics, appreciate you posting this WoF.

SQFT marching to the beat of their own drum.

Agreed, so why not tell the truth no matter how difficult it may be regardless of if it was glorious or not.  Sometimes the best lessons learned are from failure and not achievement.  The old adage "if we don't learn from history we're doomed to repeat it comes to mind".  And while we as a...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2013/06/14/f-sunday-edition-government-history.html Was reading through cbc.ca (something I try to not do a regular basis anymore as it grates on me), but I found this article interesting as I did not know the Federal Government was doing a review of Canadian...
