Yes, but as stated above, RIP to the soldier, he wasn't part of a Leopard crew - he was a crewman on the ARV - also an important job.  Also, he was a member of the King's Own Calgary Regiment - a small distinction, but one the Calgary Tanks did earn in blood at Dieppe. Anyhow, as my argument...

Why not?  Other militaries do it.  The US Army's Cav Sqns used to be an excellent example of this - 2 or 3 air troops (Coy size elms) - mix of OH 58D Kiowa and Apache, coupled with a ground troop (Coy size elm) of HMMVW mounted scouts, mix of .50, 40mm AGL and TOW mounted on their vehs, with...

Here is a link to a post I made earlier about running, injury and shoe selection.  My best advice - don't buy any serious running footwear at a place like SportChek, Footlocker or others that sell a wide variety of athletic gear, clothing and athletic fashion items.  The staff in these places...

Seems like it's "Recruiting Question Groundhog Day" this week. Here's a short answer: 1.  Call up your nearest CFRC, walk in to see them or go on line at the CF Recruiting web portal and research. 2.  Search on this site through the Recruiting and Infantry fora.  Read what you find. 3. ...

Any family anywhere should be able to go to any Military Family Resource Centre and explain the situation, then get some help.  They all work for The Canadian Forces Personnel Support Agency as a starter.  There is also the Mission Information Line (1-800-866-4546) for up to date information and...

The problem is that there are folks who are told they will never get enough points to get high enough on the merit list to see Toronto without a graduate degree, making getting the "Toronto MA" a moot point.  Or so we are told by the same folks that say "improve your SL profile", then, in a...

Piper, good post.  Definitely keeps it real for those who have been away from the training system for a while and calls a spade a spade. 

I'm assuming road.  If so, what series did you race in?  What's your plate number?  What are you running?  Stats? If not, what is it - dirt, drag, trials, supermotard? Forget the pilot stuff, inquiring minds want to know about the motorcycles - the real deal.

BMD-3, latest mod with Shtora missile defence system installed?

Not sure what tack you're heading on here.  Did you read my entire post?  Short version of my thesis - the CF does not need to spend the Queen's money paying for OCdts to get university degrees prior to them actually serving in the CF.  Sponsored degrees should be offered to those (officer and...

And we still have a "no dual recognition policy" as outlined in the Honours, Flags and Heritage Structure of the CF - A-AD-200-000/AG-000, pg 2J-4.

Bravo, TCBF.  This message needs to be put out everywhere, loud and clear. ;)

Bravo, Vern.  This message needs to be put out everywhere, loud and clear.

Since the Army Electronic Library is no longer publicly accessible, you can't use the LFDTS Staff Duties Manual. However, this site should steer you in the right direction.  Kudos to the CIC for setting this up.

Driver, I said LEFT!!! Hey, what are the rest of you clowns laughing at?

Where is it - Kingston again?

Ask your chain of command. Ask your peers, some of whom, when you do your pre-training, will have been there before. Ask the instructors and mentors during your pre-training. Pay attention during your pre-training classes. Find someone from your unit or another unit in town who's been there, buy...

If people want to do something for soldiers, but there are problems getting things to theatre, I believe we should be steering them towards assisting the families that are back here, not just of those deployed, but in general.  Sailors at sea, people away on course, young families far from their...
