    LOOP HOLE FOR RESTRICTED AND PROHIBITED!

    First of all why are you using a Crim Code that is well over 14 years out of date! There is a reason they put new CC's out every year! Much as sections in the code are edited, the weapons are also edited. This is no loophole, it's merely willfull ignorance! The existing regs for firearms are...

    Trying to start a reserve unit

    The Seaforth Highlanders and the BCR's intend to branch out to Surrey and collocate at Platoon and a Troop in that area. A sub unit location is currently being looked for and there is positive support from both 39CBGHQ and Mayor Watts. It's about time as no one in the downtown core wants to join...

    New Canada-Croatia military partnership

    Myself and a few of the other guys from Charlie Coy are going back next year to Medak. We plan on doing a bit of a gumball rally around Sector West and then heading down to Sector South. Hit up Opatija and Lake Balaton for S&G's. Maybe even cross over to Ortona for a walk around. I know that...

    New Canada-Croatia military partnership

    Retired Airforce Guy- The atrocities were carried out before the HV (11th Bde "Metalica" and 9th "Lika Wolves" attacked C Coy 2VP, in order to slow down our entry into the pocket so that they would have more time to clean up and cart away the evidence. They did quite a good job of cleaning up...

    Scotch

    I was on the selection team for the Seaforth 100 scotch....the 21 year old Highland Park was very good....i say "was", because just about everyone has finished their bottles! I am with 48th Highalnder, I prefer Irish whiskey for regular drinking, but I am partial to Auchentoshan and Dalwhinnie.

    PRes Inf DP3B 2012 courses

    Just heard that there will only be one DP3B this year, most likely in the Fall. Can anyone in the know confirm this? I don't have access to the DIN at the moment. Is there any reason for only running one course? Have they changed the course and what is the duration and proposed dates? Need to...

    Updating the 64 Rucksac

    Here is the link for anyone that is interested (about half way down the page). The pics were posted and modelled  by a member that is no longer professionally associated with the manufacturer. I don't even know if the manufacturer would have the materials and or the time to make another, so the...

    Updating the 64 Rucksac

    I updated my 64 pattern a few years ago. There are pics of it on this site if you check my posts. Basically I had a local kit manufacturer make me a new bag, but extend it to the top of the 64 pattern frame. He then added a floating lid and snow collar, covered the exterior in molle and added...

    Military memoribilia apraiser - Vancouver BC

    Command Post Militaria is probably the best you are going to get in BC. If you can't physically go there you may be able to take pics and forward them for a general valuation. There are also a few militaria sites on the web that have folks that may be able to put you in touch with local people...

    "MP's or Provost - An Idea on Roles" and "Replace base MP with RCMP"

    Coming Changes to Infantry NCM Career Courses

    This came up on the PRes Inf DP3A last year at the Infantry School. We had a briefing on the changes from the OC (Brit from the RRS) who was about to transfer into the CF as a Royal. The reason behind the change was to provide the small arms instruction portion earlier in an JNCO's development...

    Hammocks - looking for retailer

    I can attest to heat retention points previously mentioned. I have a Hennessy hammock, they are great for uneven ground, slopes or swampy areas. I have had some very comfortable sleeps in the field in one. However the best field shelter I have ever used has to be the Integral Designs Sil Dome...

    Drill PAM

    Dude, I am 100% that CSM RB & PG will have you fixing/unfixing and changing arms  hundreds of times prior to the actual FoC and laying up. At least if it's anything like the 100th and PoC. Besides why read when you can go through it practically!

    Kilts and pants?

    Just to clarify Canadian Tire- the Regiment bought the last supply of heavy weight MacKenzie #2. There is plenty of that lightweight skirt material around, but it just doesn't hang as well (or sway)  as the heavier weight wool. Noneck

    Trying to start a reserve unit

    Redleafjumper- My congratulations, I can  appreciate what it took to lobby DND and effect change at such a level. It took myself and another 7 years to make a change to the QR&O's. You stayed the course and it worked out Bravo Zulu. It's a good move for the Rm Rangs as well, it should prove...

    Policies on Non-Issue kit during Ex.

    Not "apparently" but actually! These issues usually come down to the responsibility of the man with the 3 letter acronym-RSM,CSM,SSM,BSM. There has to be some rules otherwise we'd head off into the field looking like some sort of US Militia! I'll date myself here but the line used to be drawn...

    Thanks Cops, for nothing

    Nothing to be worried about concerning the author of this article, I know him personally. Scott is a former Seaforth, he was also a long time medic and former RSM of 12 Med Coy. He is presently with the LFWA CIMIC folks. He comes by this fondness for those in blue honestly as he recently...
