Hi there, "Should women be aloud" (partial quote of subject heading) My woman(read lovely wife) of 44+ years certainly is when I jack up.(No emoticon, so LOL) Drummy

Hi Zoomie, Can‘t be absolutely certain of course, but it appears as though that round is like one of a box that I have. They‘re locked up in the attic just now, and hard to get at, but I‘m sure they have the same markings that you describe, and the plastic tip. They are designed for deer...

Wishful thinking Bill???? :) Drummy

Mr Dorish, As you have quoted and reposted my reply to the original poster, I assume that you are referring to my remarks. I do agree with what you are saying in the first paragraph, except "bring back THOSE evergreen years." We don‘t need those days back. In your second paragraph, you talk...

I joined the Canadian Army(Reg) in 1956 and my monthly pay was $96.00. All non-fitting uniforms and equipment was free of course. Winter field gear consisted of Battledress, Greatcoat, coveralls, our garrison(parade) boots, and an extra "Grey Blanket". I loved every minute of it for 27+ years...

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I have been wondering when the term "Basic Training" became changed to "Boot Camp"(an American expression I believe)? Drummy(1956-84)

Hi all, I have been having this problem as well and thought it was because of my upgrade to IE6, so I went back to factory status with IE5, but the problem continues, although not as bad. I can‘t remember exactly when it started, but have been keeping a log since 31 Jan. It wasn‘t always the...

Hello Jock, If you haven‘t been there, a good place to ask might be www.peacekeeper.ca they have quite an extensive site and a very good guest book. Someone there might be able to answer your question. Good Luck

I firmly beleive that if CNN had been in existance between 1939 and 1940, we would all be speaking a different language by now. :rolleyes:

Hi Jock, When I arrived in 4CIBG with our Battalion in 1957, we had an establishment of approximately 1200 all ranks. I assume that the other 2 Battalions were of the same strength. I don‘t know what the strengths of the the other units(Armd & Art) would have been, but it was certainly before...

Picture this if you will. It is the year 2045, the 3rd World War has just ended in the Middle East, and most combatants have returned to their respective countries. In Ottawa, the top Generals of each service are driving in their shiny new Iltis from their office deep in the basement of the...

I was looking at the original post with interest because of the pay scales listed. I really got a chuckle, because just today I was cleaning out old release records and came across some pay documents of mine. I joined the Reg Force (031) in 1956 at $98.00 per month($1176 per annum) and got out...

Hello gentlemen. This is my first foray into this cyber-world of Military Madness. Isn‘t it funny(?) that you never see or hear of our politicians flitting around the country in our helicopters. Maybe this does prove that they are smarter than we take them for.
