The question is therefore is this poll telling us some truths that we in the military don't want to hear? The results shouldn't be surprising.   After 30 years of relentless Liberal propaganda propagated through almost every cultural and educational institution in the country, the notion of...

I found this item was a fascinating look into the minds of the UK Islamists.   It was researched by a London Times reporter who went underground disguised as a radical.   What he saw was disturbing - to say the least.   But the report gives a penetrating glimpse into the mentality of a certain...

SK, Check you PMs

Those aren't aliens, they're forum moderators... ;D

Which element (I'm assuming it's army) and MOC are you interested in? And have you had any prior military experience? cheers, mdh

Sivad's issue isn't unusual at all for runners. Almost everyone who has been a long-distance runner will have felt the sudden call of nature and it can be uncomfortable (myself included). Sometimes it calls for rather drastic measures such as finding a convenient - or even inconvenient - bush by...

The subject is outside my lane, but Andyboy raises a good point - why not allocate money to each soldier and allow them to buy their own TVs? (I suppose one downside would be resupply i.e your gucci TV goes kaput and you need another one but only the issue version is available) - but the...

Family life on bases can be difficult. As a rule women want to have a career and because of the remoteness of many CF installations, it's not easy for women to achieve that ambition. Once they find out that they might have to live in Shilo, Petawawa or Gagetown, there is a distinct lack of...

Hi dygrayca, if by p/t   you mean part-time - I don't believe such an animal exists.   There is no longer a CAP-R per se, only a 10-week revised CAP attended by both reserve and regs. If you have limited availability you can do the course in two-week modules. (which means a mere four-five years...

Kirkhill/Retired CC, Sorry - I misread the piece. I see now that he was summing up to make a rhetorical point not a literal one. I actually agree with Jones overall assessment - thought the quote highlighted above the original item posted by Gunner was from another HT item that Jones was...

It's amazing that the Hill Times suffers from historical amnesia when it comes to terrorism. Ever hear of Pierre Laporte? How about Air India? How about the hundreds of Canadians who were in New York on 9/11. (Many of whom were wrenched - and not "viscerally" either)  Unfortunately it says a lot...

Matt, Excellent post, cheers, mdh  :salute:

Matt, Perhaps you can provide some perspective on this (seemingly ancient Canadian debate) from your US vantage point. I know there is a US Marine Reserve - what's the relationship  between reg. force marines and the marine reserve? Do they have the same debates/tensions - or is this something...

Derek, Look below on the threads, there is a similar inquiry about cooks - there is poster called caper861 who is a cook - he was last active in July 20 - send him a PM - that might help, cheers, mdh

Anchorman, This is encouraging news and I applaud the move toward the eventual creation of a CF network.  Will there be additional information for UIOs/PAFFOs at reserve units? Cheers mdh

Edward C. you may have heard of this story. According to Peter Brimelow's book on Canadian nationalism called The Patriot Game, when Trudeau came to power several drafts of the new foreign policy were repeatedly rejected because it was not considered "scientific enough" - until one foreign...

As Gunner98 noted - talk to your recruiting officer - I suspect that Finance Os are in pretty short supply in the CF right now - at least they are in my neck of the woods. good luck, mdh

Ditto, cheers, mdh

amcd, Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that you be like David Jansen in the Green Berets, and head down to the nearest recruiting station to sign up and fight the GWOT. (Although if you're interested there are some excellent reserve units in the capital region  :D) I don't think we are...
