Evening.....while this thread is US-Centric, lets not kid ourselves that Canada is any better. Yes the US has over 300 million people compared to our over 30 million people, but the same 'fracture' can be seen once you move out of the major cities i.e. Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa. One...

I know you combat arms guys are the best ones to ask for this. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to find this online on the DIN or elsewhere? What I need is a 2 page pamphlet that works you through the whole LOAD, UNLOAD, FUNCTION TEST and the rest. They had a similar...

Am sure there are a lot of people like him in Europe that were just as good and reported unbiased news, but I don't see them getting a shoutout here. Honestly....I think CBS is making a big deal out of it and people are getting carried away with it. Just my take on it

You are a nincompoop. Like others have said on here, that is not a big deal, it was just a time saver and one less thing to worry about, when there are more tangible things like studying for a very important PO that you have the next day, when you still have section duty to do and can't go to...

Don't know why you lot are surprise by the fact that the tabloids and news will rather report about wacko jacko than our own important news  ::) If you ask yourself the question, why is it that people are fascinated by US shows and late night news from there i.e conan, letterman et al than our...

Mine was not the padlock type, it just had a key to lock it. I always locked it for inspection and never got asked to open it, even during the captain and commandant's inspection. I had everything in that box from cold, headache tablets, my wallet, cellphone, ghost kit, snacks et al  ;D I am...

The trick to the saving gel can is, don't cover it immediately after use, leave it open till just before inspection. I had a shadow kit during my time and a few others did too. I was the master of making bed with hospital corners though and ironing. For those about to go, just remember that for...

So you think we don't have a presence elsewhere then at the moment? Are you in the military or about to join? We aren't the only country over there, the UK has lost just as much people over there and they were in Iraq as well. Canada is made up of of different background of people, and we...

What has this got to do with Canadian military, was is Canadian?  ??? He was 92 for crying out loud and this sort of news doesn't have to overshadow our comrades in Afghanistan, of which one is being brought home tomorrow.

I believe in destiny personally, and everything happens for a reason at the right time. Just make sure going in there and give it that never die attitude. Half our platoon was gone by the end of it all, and 95% of those were young ones in their 20s

Hmmmm...am sure you meant Armour? Being that we are in Canada and all

Congrats...you are never too old to join, providing you meet all the requirements. I was 35 when I joined, but have a body of a 20yr old. The oldest guy on our platoon was 42 and was going armour.

McMuffin...yes it does and I got frost bitten during our last week mission exercises. How is shearwater treating you bud and when are you going on course?
