    8 Billion dollars pledged to the forces... Martin

    I have yet to see the actual announcement and not just newsmedia speculations about it.

    Frustration!!!!

    We‘ve all thought that at certain times, particularly when we were in the process. After we get it, we have come to relfect on the worthiness of the wait, and cherished our easy civilian lifestyles in distant memories. Enjoy it while it lasts. Look on the good side, only those who truly want...

    US soldiers in Iraq asked to pray for Bush

    Unbelievable...NuLL that‘s hilarious...lets rely on scripture instead of our understanding - good idea. This aside, I agree with ShortBus on the intention of the prayers. If I were in their shoes, I would pray that the president and his advisors make the right choices too, but then again, and...

    timeline

    They physical has to be done within a couple months of swear in I believe, and also have you do it for your file to be processed. (Both of these may be the same one depending on how long it takes your file to be processed) It also has to be done again before course if it has been longer than a...

    Frustration!!!!

    This site sees a lot of frustration similar to yours. It‘s a good thing you really want this, just keep up on it and you will get it. It‘s a ridiculous bureaucracy that can be even slower than this at times. I would say that the best thing to do is to keep working with the member that is...

    MP says welfare recipient with 3 homes and a grow-op should be deported

    ya, ripping off the government when you deal drugs is a definite ‘should not do‘. Welfare is supposed to be there for people who need it, not people that have a small drug producing empire and own three homes. WTF are you thinking? Sure, if he couldn‘t find a job, he needs welfare to help...

    CEOTP Shut down

    FYI: CEOTP opens and closes by trade and military requirements.

    army life

    You normally don‘t have to quit your civilian job for reserve work. You will have to do something about getting trained though because no matter what trade, that generally takes one summer. Once you are trained, you can keep whatever civilian job you want, or go to school, because the units...

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    When you are a Private Recruit, doing your first phase of training, you are doing your ‘basic‘. You are still a Private Recruit. You then move on to your trade training which for me, was reserve infantry. When I finished that, I was Private trained and got my hook.

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    When I finished QL3 reserve infantry, I got a hook and a small pay raise. That was private trained. My course was combined QL2/3 infantry. A Private, with just basic training (QL2) doesn‘t get a hook. I got a raise after my first year. And again in my second year, and again in my third year...

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    Last I saw, in the reg force you didn‘t get a hook until you‘d had a year after being trained. The reserves work differently, or at least all the units I worked with and have seen did.

    MP says welfare recipient with 3 homes and a grow-op should be deported

    He already contributes to BC‘s economy..lol. I‘m from there, I know. Pot might not be taxed, but it sure as heck causes people to spend a lot of money on food (munchies), video games, drinks, busfare or gas to go get their weed, other entertaining activities that they may be inclined to...

    Don't loot- Iraq Video

    comon, its not like they are raiding the walmarts, or priceless treasures. Sure deal with it, but deal with it fairly. Then again, do they have any form of identification there? I have no idea...mabey it was impossible to say, you need to show up in court here at this time. Mabey that‘s all...

    Don't loot- Iraq Video

    It looks like it was only firewood or some wood to mabey rebuild their destroyed homes. WTF??? Can‘t people take some wood to keep warm at night? Can‘t they rebuild the homes that the invasion destroyed? If they were stealing food would they have ripped it from their starving hands? And they...

    1935 US Plan for Invasion of Canada

    hey the point where he writes about Canadian Terrirory acknowledges Canadian territory extending beyond the arctic archipelago...isn‘t that what the US says is international waters? hmm, just a thought. Too bad it‘s not an official government position on the matter. No idea if its real or...

    How Do You (or Did You) Decide on Your Career Path?

    I was once asked by a very close girlfriend "why not leave it to someone else. Why not let someone else do it? Why YOU?" In serving in the Canadian Forces, I will tell you exactly what I told her: First off, why me? Because I am no better than any other so why not me? I am not too good...

    The Haiti Super Thread- Merged

    I don‘t really think a cot and IMP‘s are representative enough of what the troops go through. But it boosts morale. Like I said before, MND David Pratt and his top aide, David Price, have a very firm grasp of what goes on in the military. The latter has lots of experience from the reserves...

    Not my Canada? Anti-Semetic Violence in Canada

    Ya, leave your ‘Sh** at the door‘. If someone immigrates to another country to have a chance at a better life, they should leave their gripes at the door. If you bring your hatred here and commit crimes like this, it shows that you can‘t control your emotions and that you are not ‘Canadian‘...

    The Merged Thread on Gay/ Homosexual Topics and the CF.

    This isn‘t history. I don‘t like it, but here‘s my piece. Every other member that attends RMC has the right to be ‘married‘ there. I agree that it goes against many of the religious values of other members and don‘t think that it should be done at the Chapel out of respect for their beleifs...
