By 'here' do you mean this website or the CF (I assume you meant the CF). I understand fully that our great country allows for its citizens to freely and without prejudice express themselves, the CF to a lesser extent. What I meant was, hitting a unit then regalling people with tales of your...

Thanks all for the replies (and PM's). I totally forgot about 400 Sqn.

Not all courses. For example, CLFCSC has its own online portal (complete with outdate info and multiple, read mostly, broken links).

I find most people I've run into keep their political views to themselves, if for no other reason then they are too busy to sit around and pontificate on politics. A bit of a change of pace for me (I love to argue and talking politics is like a heroin injection for me). I wouldn't go around...

Word on the street in my neck of the woods is the contract for them ran out and PWGSC has yet to renew it (same goes for Land Force Command pins, etc). There's apparently (again, word on the street) that there is quite the shortage of DEU-related accoutrements.

I can't believe I missed all that, especially a forum nemesis agreeing with me.  ;) Good luck Celticgirl, don't let stick-in-the-muds get you down. And for the record, 48th, I take offence to the Pratt label. Call me anything you wish except for the same name used by that arrogant douche on...

DEO (Direct Entry Officer) means that you are someone who already has a degree and applies to be an officer. You seem to be a bit confused (unless I misread you). DEO applicants do not attend RMC. You already have a degree and therefore head straight into the trg system. You will not work...

My old high school.

That's what chits are for  ;)

J'alores (is that the right term, and spelling) I got a wee bit carried away. And the ones that don't drive me up the wall get my respect as well (believe it or not, I do have friends...I think). I'm not bashing the people themselves that attended (lots of great grads have come from there) but...

I'd have stuck with my original plan, not become an officer and go MP.

Bump. Anyone got any info (does said pipes and drums still exist)?

You guys are going back to 'college' uniforms from DEU's, are you not? And they look just as silly and valet-like as the scarlets. I'm glad you're proud to have to get dressed up to go to class. I'm glad I got to roll out of bed and attend class in whatever I felt like wearing and not have...

Respect begets respect. I have no love for the place, just like some RMC grads have no love for those of us 'not good enough' to have attended charm school. It being one of the oldest 'units' isn't really an issue one way or the other. The place isn't whatever it once was (and it ain't just me...

It was more to do with your naive idea about RMC's lofty ideals and standards. The place is a breeding ground for stupidity. Thats how I (and others) see it and frankly, I have yet to be proven otherwise. You may see it as that, thankfully the CF left me alone to complete my education and...

Native groups have already made it quite clear they intend to disrupt olympic events. Should be fun.

Well, I'm commissioned now...I do pretty well at my job, my NCO's don't hate me and I haven't killed or maimed anyone. Despite having attended classes in sweats and sporting a (patchy) grizzly adam's beard at times. At the end of the day, few people knew I was a CF member and of those that...

People find the sound of their own voice far less enjoyable that way.

Excellent article, especially the bit about how much time is wasted figuring out what pictures/graphics/colours etc to put into the slides. It annoys me to no end to see the amount of visual diarrhea that populates pp presentations (anything from 'The Army' is particularily bad with the...

Just because I kept a second can of shaving cream (as once you spray, it will leak) and a second bar of soap (to prevent to almost magical ability for a short and curly to appear on inspection) during BMOQ doesn't mean that I'll start cutting corners when it comes to something that actually...
