Pte Grueling, I liked your response. But I feel a bit different about the reserve/regular issue. Here‘s what I think. We all serve the same master. I never really thought differently about militia/reserve soldiers/sailor/airmen(women). We all choose this lifestyle knowing that it means giving...

Re: CdnGuy, Sorry if I wasnt clear enough. What I meant was that as a sig in either a Brigade formation or at the Sigs Regt in Kingston you could expect to go out the door about once every 2-3 years. Right now we have Bosnia, Afghanistan, Golan Heights, and one or two others. The army has...
