Friars Balsam has been used by many troops while on the Nijmegen marches and they were able to complete the following days march. Administering it is the tricky part. It can do some good if applied directly onto the blister but we found that if squirted directly into the blister it worked...

Did I heard him commending us on our invasion of Norway? It seems that someone failed Canadian and world history. His speech writers are probably working at the scab picking plant for some leper colony by now.

One thing amongst all the increased fighting during the last 10 days or so that has stuck in my craw was the rocket attack against the mosque and the strike in the same town that the American civilian workers were attacked, murdered and mutilated. I have some nagging questions about this...

Just A Sig OP, I have plenty that I would love to say about this event but I‘d get banned toote suite from this forum and enjoy my priviledges here too much. I‘ll just gripe over it at the pub tonight. BTW, Soldiering is a lifestyle. It‘s not what you do it‘s what you are. Maybe working at...

Canadian society as it stands is certainly not prepared for any mandatory service. Most Canadians are not prepared to sacrifice their comfort, convienence for the civil liberties and rights that most of us are proud to defend. People are striking in NL for higher pay yet acknowledge that their...

We generally want you to be accessible and easy to find, when we need you. Padres don‘t have to be everywhere always for everyone. But a friendly hello while passing in the hallways in the headshed or while doing det maintanance in the compound are just as good as greeting them on return from a...

Good on ya‘ I‘m glad you guys kept your cool. Like you said, punks. Stuff like that happens very seldom and it‘s always hard to swallow.

Some people‘s children... Must be a slow work day if you have nothing better to do than whinge about other people‘s spelling and grammar. I‘d rather my chain of command worry about my soldier skill than spelling Bee try-outs.

Sigs would also provide relay comms (2-3 man dets) in event of Ops in areas that would inhibit ideal communications such as very high mountainous terrain. They would be in the immediate vicinity to give the gravel-techs the comms they need to do their jobs They need to pay attention to the way...

Boys, What are ya talking about? You‘re using e-mail right now, sending it along computers, out phones lines or digital and maybe even using satellites to take part in this little topic. What do every single tour that Canada has ever done have in common? That‘s right. COMMUNICATIONS... They...

gryphon664, Go to the Sigs Museum on the other side of the base, by the water tower. You‘ll find that beret for sale.

combat_medic Thanks boocoop for that quote in latin. I read it somewhere but lost the original quote. I could only remmber it in english. Slainte,

That was fast. That last post was descriptive of the marital status of parents at birth of those responsible.

Good luck combat_medic Don‘t let the *******s grind you down! Slainte,

There are rucksacks full of rules that we live by in the CF. Most are non negotiable. However, realistically (as opposed to technically) speaking there are some rules that can be bent. I am not suggesting that you run out and destroy DND kit especially if the beret is the first and only one that...

Go ahead and cut it out. It fits much better without it. That little grey strip of wool usually stays after cutting the inside liner out. A better style of beret(IMO) is the belgian one with the cloth liner (where the leather one is on Canadian style). Better cut of cloth and design. A few...

I thought Saviour was good too. It looked like it was shot in the Balkans. They had the same red tiled roofs, mountains and same crappy roads. You could almost smell the dirty chimney smoke and charcoal.

Gate_guard, Yes maybe what I am proposing is to let them sort out democracy for themselves. I do believe that post colonial periods are very very trying on a country. We struggled through that not very long ago and came close to stumbling more than once. Throw into that mixture...

JimBunting, Here is a novel idea. Stop fighting, stop screwing without condoms, stay in school, don‘t blow all of you US$4 weekly income on pot, stop breaking the law and maybe you might not have the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. Education, Education, Education. How about a free...

Sorry tree hugger, but you could not be anymore wrong. I won‘t get into the ways that you are wrong but I will say that this guy broke his word. He has no honour. He is a scurvy little dog. Just saw that his lawyer is another little scurvy dog who ran away from his duty to serve when called...
