You'll have a good time with an attitude like that.  No matter what people may say, I believe it to be a good experience for anyone who does it.

You would probably be able to find some good information through the CGG War Museum.  The CGG was the 22nd in the War.  If you give me sometime, I will try to find contact information for you.  I am however posted away from the regiment for a while, so it might be a few days.  I can PM you the...

Have you ever done CG?

It's been as such for a few years now.  All of 34 brigade has been sending augmentees for the CGG, the same for (correct me here on brigade number Im not sure), 33 brigade.  As a matter of fact, regiments from all around Ontario had been filling the ranks of the GGFG COY for years too, even with...

Wow good thing it didn't take out a rotor blade.  Could've been pretty bad.  I foresee dirty underwear.

First day or two will be admin, sorting things out.  After which, 3 weeks, monday to friday, weekends if needed, will be intensive drill, to bring everyone up to CG standard, to be ready for the Hill and the House.  PT in the morning, breakfast, drill, lunch, drill, dinner,drill, some time off...

You mean to basically ditch the pouches, and get one of those CP 3x pouch type things?  Or have them professionally sown on to replace the original chest pouches?  I wouldn't mind going for an entirely different rig, but I have to check what the COs will allow.

Okay, I'm an M203 grenadier, and I'm still using the issued vest.  I like to use the First Samco mag cinches, but I have to put those in my C9 pouch.  I'm also stuffing my 40mm rounds in the grenade pouches, and smoke grenade pouches, and whatever's left in the C9 utility pouch.  Now this is...

The Canadian Grenadier Guards, in Montreal. http://www.34gbccgg.ca/

Savior with Dennis Quaid.  Very harsh hard true story of the Ex-Yugo conflict.

I should also add that perhaps you should contact the CG organization in Ottawa, they should have set up shop by now.  They get plenty of new tunics, and could most likely direct you to the suppliers and tailors.

I concur.  We, 1st Regiment, CGG, have singles.  GGFGs (we work with them every summer) have pairs, as mentionned earlier.

I agree with those points.  I just want to get deployed, like any young chap in such a situation.  But indeed the Darfur situation is probably not a good idea.  But yes, off to the chief's course and on to the new kids.

It frustrates me at the highest point.  Being part of TF0406, we are ready to deploy, we're ready to go.  We trained as a 2nd line Task Force in case we were needed somewhere else.  Yet, it seems like we've done all this training for nothing, because even though we might be needed somewhere, we...

Ah bien je suis présentement en entrainement avec vous.  Pas trop fâché d'être revenu de Gagetown?

Hehe I didn't ask a question this time around.  And I did think of you too.  But no offence, and arguments aside, that is my opinion and I stand by it.  As minor as it may be ;) And you're right too, it is not a priority, compared to other bigger issues (never disagreed there)

A l'exception de la crosse retractable et la couleur, il n'y a pas de quoi s'exciter avec la A2.  C'est la meme arme qu'avant.  Il faudrait seulement qu'ils se decident à changer le cannon de 20" par celui de 16", et changer le triad (le weaver rail au canon) par un system plus "custom" (RIS) et...

You get the training dry, but there's usually a live range of it every year.  Sometimes it's with the 7.62 subcaliber, sometimes it's a training non-explosive round.  I'm pretty sure the way things work now people can go through years without touching the thing, but if you get assigned to the...

You get the 84mm training back at your unit afterwards anyways.  We still test everyone on it during IBTS every year.

I agree with Naralis.  Up to the point where you don't do much of things you should, because everything is so crammed in there's no time.  I believe this is why reserves get their reputation.  We see everything, or almost, too, we just don't do as much/enough of it, therefore our training level...
