I don't quite remember where I heard this from, but can anyone clear this up. Is it true that the MGS Can't fire while on the move and/or reload while on the move? Thanks to anyone who can clear that up for me. Cheers, Dan

I would certainly do that, a few bucks for a flag is nothing compared to what the soldiers do for our country when deployed overseas.

Will the PRT in Kandahar also be running under Op Athena? Or is there going to be a different Op name for this one?

Im on the list for the USA Exchange down in Florida. I did CLI D&C last year in Vernon and there were some people on course with me that didn't take an aCL course. Is it just a Blackdown thing where you must have an aCL to take an aCLI??

For those who have actually traveled there, I have found the Cambodian police to be quite well armed and in my opinion, fairly well-trained compared to the countries that surround it. They probably gave the van and money to get the hostage takers out of the building and into the vehicle before...

Thanks for clearing things up, I've been wondering for so long cause of all these damned news reports. I don't know which one to trust anymore. Knew I could get way more reliable info right here. Cheers, Dan

Ok, this may seem wierd or like a stupid question, but I'm rather confused. Is Canada redeploying to Kandahar this August or next August('06)??? And does anyone know what we would be doing there?

I just read through all the posts and I noticed that nobody seemed to take notice of the next-to-new University of Northern BC campus up in PG. I know for a fact that it is still expanding, and even has a medical school. It will continue to draw in new students and expand in size over the coming...

Well considering the pilot confirmed it was a false alarm and everything was OK...maybe the Halifax RCMP just wanted to test their ERT skills on boarding aircraft? Just my $0.02

You have to be kidding me, an investigation on the wire insulation!? THAT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIOUS TO DO!! They could easily bring in civi ship builders to see what went wrong with it. Im done my electrician apprentiship myself and even I could probly find what was wrong. I can't believe they'd...

Ever heard of Firebase Canada? I sure know about it, my dads friends served there, the largest Canadian camp in Vietnam DURING the war. Also, another friend of my dad flew Canadian fighters in Vietnam. Yes, THOUSANDS of Canadians served in Vietnam during and after the war. Dan

I was in Vietnam in early Janurary and I can tell you, the people of Vietnam are very happy with their government today. They are building new roads, new infrastructure, an expanded airport in Saigon (no S. Vietnamese calls it HoChiMinh City), and all the new high rises being built by foreign...

Hmm the planes to get them in...well has anyone seen a horse fly lately? 'Cause the chances of getting new planes is as slim as that IMHO. But what do I know eh? Let's hurry up and wait and see.

Well not just the "personal link" cause i have never had anyone in my family serve in the CF (but has in US). Im first generation born in Canada coming from a family that fled Vietnam during the war. Im joining the CF cause I am proud to live in Canada, and proud to be Canadian :cdn: :salute...

Hmmm, well if no one had work, just think of all of the possible recruits the CF would have ;)....just a side thought anyways. I do not support free trade, never has really worked, never will really work. All this sounds wayy too good to be true coming from the liberals whom I have no more faith...

I sure hope he didn't try to desert deliberately. It would be a shame to see someone with his experience be thrown into irons and locked up. I sure dont know they guy but Im still confident all will work out and that he will tell us what happened.

I just got a call from the RC in Vancouver today and they scheduled me an appointment to do my aptitude test but nothing else. Is that normal for it to be done one or two at a time like that? Or is it suppose to go all at the same time? I have one last question...I know the RC is at 1070 W...

Yeah, they take 2 intakes into Vernon (each is half of spring break) and they test us all up there at once. you do your testing the day after you arrive and finish the next day. Then they brought us over to the pool for a swim night, then re-tests, then grad parade and we bussed back home.
