I don‘t like the idea of phasing out the m-72 esspecially if they are gonna replace it with the ERYX. I like the idea of running with a small tube hitting me in the back of the head when I am doing section attacks in the firegaurds - it keeps me awake. No seriously, it could be very handy...

green underwear: we called them ‘passion killers‘. Once your pants come off and she sees the colour of the shorts, that kills off the passion. But the new underwear are some of the most comfortable I‘ve ever worn. (I must not get out much) And please, for your own sake, leave your designer...

I‘m writing a paper on US-Canada security cooperation as it pertains to the war on terrorism. My main arguement is that the emphasis on the military centred view of contintental defence detracts from emphasis on non-military cooperation and that Canada‘s interests have been so closely tied to...

Apparently in some positions in the CF, there appears to be a problem with obeisity. I find that embarrassing. A few notes however: the key phrase there for exercise during paid hours was ‘when time permits‘. Now I am not excusing poor levels of physical fitness, but we are all aware of...

EDIT: I think I should move this to the Canadian Army forum as it is not ‘news‘ per say. So I am about to do it. Sorry about the bandwith, any mods that can delete this post? ugh, nevermind. too late. Bossi you‘re quick. Will leave it here then. END OF EDIT I had the opportunity to hear...

I don‘t like the message that Celluci is passing on, or at least how he is going about delivering it. Canada should do this, Canada should do that. Canada should, can, and will do what IT thinks is right regardless of the consequences. The people of Canada feel that we are not at risk and...

On course, privacy is limited. Group showers happens during training, but as Hulk mentioned, females get their privacy. On the other hand, you will get up early, and go to bed relatively late. You will suffer from lack of sleep sometimes but primarily on exercises. lol, no swearing? Movies...

I have an officers mess dinner tomorrow night, and have recieved my two issued pairs of officers dress shoes this morning. They are brand new, and seriously, I can get my old combat boots shinier than the pair of these that I am working on. How shiny should these shoes be and any tips on what...

That‘s interesting, I had thought about being a police officer, but opted for the military over it despite the often better paying salaries, and more stable working environment. (LOL what was I thinking? ? ? ?) I don‘t know about the Toronto Police Department but the Vancouver PD takes people...

lol...impending sentence...er....change of command ceremony....lol

My fiancee wants to know what a military wedding would be like in the Canadian Forces. We are engaged and would like to look into getting married once I finish my training period: about two years (a year and a half of uni left first). Anyone have any pics :) or information they could pass...

I‘m sure it‘s CF‘s cuz the commander had asked me if I had CF‘s to wear to the mess dinner when he invited me. THe mess kit would be awesome if I had money to blow on one. Tux‘s are cool, but they just don‘t have the same effect as the reds that‘s for sure.

thanks a lot for the advice.

I didn‘t think I should wear the regimental stuff, but I still have time to get any items that would complete my uniform IF it is available to me. If not, then ya I guess I‘ll be suiting it, but if so, do you know what I should be getting from stores next time I go in? Thanks again

I am an OCdt. in the regular force but attending a civi university. I am volunteering with a reserve regiment, and was invited to attend a mess dinner in March. I was fitted for CF‘s and got them today, but they only gave me the general buttons and name tags, and the cross swords/maple leaf...

that‘s pretty scetchy stuff. I am weary about playing around with genetics, chemicals, metabolics or anything else that turns people into lab rats - not to mention our friends, comrades and nations soldiers. The concept sounds reminds me of the route Canada has taken, getting more for...

I can't remember what the word is, or how to spell it more precisely, it was a german concept sounded like "Auftragstaktic" or something like that.  It had a lot to do with initiative and responsibility.  could someone clarify this for me?

Do you think that the US military has a good tradition; in giving out medals for smaller achievments. I understand that it‘s distressing to start giving out important medals like they were candy, but in the CF, many of our members have only a handful of them. I‘ve heard arguements on both...

For those younger troops that are fresh out of training courses and do something that gets them in trouble at home: 153. You start to come to attention when you hear someone yelling at you (usually a parent, but could be a teacher as it was once in my case) I had seen a professor about an...

I am looking for the name of a pretty recent movie. I can reccall the details but not the name. It was about some British officers who get called up for (I think it was) the Boer War. One, who was engaged to be married withdrawls and quits the military. He gets ‘chicken‘ feathers as a...
