I hope Canada does more, though we matched the US in financial contributions, I believe we could do much, much more. On Monday me and my dad are flying to Vietnam/Thailand to bring over about 4 tonnes of supplies being donated by the Vietnamese-Canadian community in Vancouver. If one...

YAY, "NEW" Equipment, just like the "new" C130-H's right? All under 30 years old! Think this new gear will arrive by the time I join up with the regs in a couple years? Sure hope so, it'd be nice to use gear the was younger, not older then me. Let's hope politics doesn't get in the way this time.

If you want information on JTF-2, there is an "unofficial" book on them called Canada's Secret Commandos: The unauthorized story of Joint Task Force Two by a journalist, in there you'll find weapons, tactics, past and preasent missions, as well as photos, and brief information on allied special...

Im from 2812 Seaforth Highlanders out in Surrey, B.C. My french is pretty proficient and I was wondering if anyone knew weather or not there was a chance that I'd be able to staff at a French speaking CSTC this summer? Possibly at Valcartier or Cap-Chat? Well that's all I want to know at the...

I plan on applying for the BCR's within the next month. After that I plan on going into the regs (PPCLI) or RMC, RMC looks really appealing. One of my best friend's dad is BGen. Beare. Plus my dad served in the US Army in Vietnam.

Most of the officers I saw in Vernon this summer had been issued CADPAT bonnie caps. But this may just be something PAC Region issued to them for the summer.

Affiliated with Seaforth Highlanders of Canada. Applying for the reserve unit in Jan 2005...hoping to god I get accepted.

Yeah, I did Basic(2002) Echo CL(2003) delta and CLI D&C (2004) Alpha I got the MGen Vance leadership award for D&C ;D

I was told that cadets can only have 5 rounds in the mag at a time to prevent the cadets from firing the weapon on full auto as cadets wouldn't have the know how of how to handle a weapon on full auto.

Now, there is German manufacturing for you. its too bad the gov't didnt get better jeeps. but then again they always seem to not be able to buy the right kit for our nations best. a crack in the floor must mean that the vehicle has a structural problem, lets hope something real actually gets...

Alright, thanks for the extra info there.

Absolutely horrible, my mother could have carried out a better attack then that. I hope they catch those idiots soon, that's just an embarassment to Canada. Hopefully Martin is able to take advantage of this situation somehow, but knowing our politicians...

My deepest condolances to the family of Capt. Miles Selby. Everyone in the Lower Mainland and across Canada will surely be affected by his death. May he R.I.P. :cdn: Prayers also go out to the injured pilot. May he have a speedy and full recovery.

Well you think a helicopter firing in the vicinity of an "air weapons range" would signal that it was firing on the "air weapons range" but regardless, the media only wants to portray what they see as news, not what really matters. I wish they would publicize Canada's military more, then we'd...

If they send troops to Iraq, which I hope they do, I just hope they wait a couple of years so that I'm old enough to deploy with that force. ;D A nice, light LAV based force would be one hell of a contribution.

The Americans would never try to invade us, it would take their entire 1.5million person army to bring us down with all the underground forces what would spring up as a result of invasion. Canadians are normally so anti-American we need not worry about an annexation vote passing. The only stars...

Politics shouldn't get involved in war, thats a dangerous thing to do. You dont see senators with children on the ground in Iraq. Let soldiers fight soldiers, they're just doing their job, what they were told to do. It is war, and civilians will die, they're trying to bring peace to the country.

Well lets remember here, Sikorsky has designed and built many helos before, including Canada's now aging fleet of Sea King Helos. They've been around for well over the time I've been alive and I trust that they can get this thing off the ground. Furthermore, why would Sikorsky sign onto a...

At the present time, i cant see us sending troops to iraq, however, when our commitment is over, we could send troops to iraq. the troops must receive in theatre experience in order to gain valuable knowledge that can only be learnt first hand. i know the forces are strecthed pretty thin right...
