Sweet, I love seeing officers who actually speak their mind. Its even better though since his daughter is one of my best friends ;D. lol. I sure hope they expand the forces a lot faster then what they're trying to get at right now. The troops are spread thin and would really help if they had...

Sweet stuff, just got back today from phase 2 as well. NSCE qualified!! And without a retest needed. Going there for the 4 days was so worth it, had loads of fun as well.

Jesus christ it is joe gagne....didn't think I would hear from you for another year! Well it pretty much has been I guess. How's it going? It's me, Nguyen, Frank Daniel from 2 platoon '04 (same platoon as you in '03).

A suitable tribute to a brave young man who gave his life to the cause of freedom. RIP :salute:

Well true, the only true advantage the American's have over the Chinese is technology. But having been to China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan (this year) I would also come to the conclusion that Asian troops are very small compared to their North American counterparts. I myself am Asian...

I am one of many first generation Canadians in this country, and as such, I am immensely proud to be able to wear the uniform of this great nation. It is true, that man works in the civil service sector, and he accepts a pay check from the government of Canada. So he should stand proper and face...

Awesome site, I never thought they would make something like this.

My deepest condolences to the families of the fallen officers. I can not believe anyone would do this to those who swear to serve and protect. It is an outrage to see that someone would do something like this. Outrage would not equal the feelings this country is feeling right now. I only wish...

Haven't heard anything of that out here in the PST.

Im not sure if this has been posted yet but I just read this on the news: http://www.canada.com/national/story.html?id=78bbda8b-5a14-4beb-88fd-ddf91ddd60e1 Broadcast News February 28, 2005 ADVERTISEMENT   HALIFAX -- An electrical transformer caught fire today on HMCS Fredericton...

Actually Im pretty sure I remember reading that same article where they wanted to change JTF-2's name but the unit heatedly and quickly rejected it. Ill look around for the article and post it if I find it but its been a long while. Dan

WOAH THERE...did YOU just say "old fashioned and out dated" and in high schools?? I certainly hope your not from BC or anywhere in Canada for that matter! I go to Tamanawis Secondary school where the kids say "Canada what!" and repsect our flag and nationalism. Since when is being patriotic...

No problem! I love doing these kinds of things anyways :P

Well I think the gov't should've just given the CF the entire $10billion all at once :P...but I guess it would never be with the Libs. At least were getting more money though right? I mean Im in the application process right now and I sure hope I dont get screwed over and dont get all the kit I...

I dont know how much this helps you but I think I found the figures of the 1800 troops (on two rotations) from Aug. 2003 to Aug 2004. http://www.ploughshares.ca/content/MONITOR/mond03b.html It gives the figures at $650 million. Canadian troops in Afghanistan By Ken Epps The most recent...

This is more of a no brainer question. Canada not only should have a military, it NEEDS its military. Over the years since WW2, many Canadians have set their mind on the thought that our big brothers to the south will protect us. Let's not forget that the Americans have had Manifest Destiny...

What a democracy we live in eh? And if the hippies have been voting for the liberals...whos been giving votes to the NDP?? ???

Im in the application process right now and what scares me the most about all this is the CFAT. What is the % needed to pass for INF? Is it really as hard as some people say it is? and is there anything I can do to better prepare myself for it? Thanks. Dan

Yeah, I've noticed a lot more CF recruiting in public since the start of 2004. I guess the government is actually trying to fulfill its promise of more troops for the armed forces. Im in the application process right now and a lot of the guys I talked to said I'd probly be doing BMQ this summer.
