This is a major milestone in the CF in my opinion and was a long time comming.  This may be THE most important step towards making the military more combat ready.

I was the patrol commander for the LER team in 2001.  Many many lessons learned before during and after the 'patrol'.  Our biggest mistake was in approaching the event as a patrol competition and not as a time trial skills event, our training reflected this mistake as well.  We started out...

I wasn't being sarcastic.

Despite internal interests being involved, I think it is still sad that the two numbers that jump out are / were preventable with propper use of force; Rwanda and Sudan (I have read numbers way higher than 180k for Sudan).  Countries like Canada that supported Sudan for years (Talisman Energy of...

PETA is a tier 3 unit.  I am talking a tier 1 unit.  Training pipeline of approx 16 months; para, halo, scuba, trapping and hunting, bicycle maintenance, skin care etc.  No expense will be spared.  The unit will be able to project Canadian hard and soft green-power worldwide within 18 hours...

You must be extremely smart, cuz you think just like I do. I am lobbying the Green party to form an EcoSF unit.  Based out of the Boreal Forest the unit would respond to any offenses against international ecological standards.  Oil spill?  These guys would go in and kill anyone responsible. ...

Ssshhh, I am not really a civie ...   Does that satisfy you?

I bought a bunch of kit from a surplus retailer for an outdoor education program.  I will send a memo to the CDS to tell him to better dry his kit before he sells it to civies like myself. 

How do you get the smell off of the old rain jackats / pants?  Smells like, what best can be described as ... manure. Also, What is the best way to wash the felt liner in the mukluks?  What is the best way to wash the winter mitts? Merci, Ekosi, Thank you.

Actually I was talking about the RWB; the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.  I would like to dust off my tights....

Enforcement of the current laws would have stopped him.

I say this whole thread is moot if Hercs cannot fly in formation... which they cannot correct ???  Otherwise a 'para' or 'airborne' unit is an airborne unit in name only.

If anyone here is from the Royal Winnipeg Rifles I wouldnt mind if you PM'd me... in fact I would greatly appreciate it.  I am considering joining up with the reserves again and would like to find out about the unit. RWR is pretty much my closest bet, unless I go N SASK R.

Canadian soldiers get issued more individual kit than any other soldiers.  Overall I would rate our winter kit as top notch.  There may be lighter / faster / more high speed stuff on the market, but overall it is very good. 

So you are going to vote Green then? ;D

I do agree that crying wolf obsessively creates a desensitization effect on the general population, myself included.  David Suzuki has done this to some extent.  However it does not stop the fact that there is still a wolf.  Even those that argue against global warming, would support increased...

So if I get your arguements correctly, there is nothing wrong with the environment?   Or is it that actually pollution is good for the environment?   Silly environmentalists, always crying wolf when there is nothing wrong. ::)   All the bad things that are happening to the environment are...

You know why they would or wouldn't?  They were initially protesting against him because of a quote taken out of context in one of his books. For how many books the guy has written there must be some major scanning going on right now to try to find tidbits and quotes that can be used against...
