    Does the CF use Cooling Vests?

    Anyone ever use any type of personal cooling on ex or operation? I'm going to be trying out one of these phase cooling vest systems (http://www.glaciertek.com/RPCM_Cooling_Vest/Default.aspx), but am curious as to personal experiences. Key factors remain; 1. Weight = the vest under my...

    RESERVES: Which combat trade and why?

    Please clarify "but I need a couple years to qualify still.". As far as I know, there isn't any special pre-qualification for the Primary Reserve (P Res) Medical Technician trade. As for combat arms, particularly in the Reserves, I would recommend the Infantry. 1. Generally, there are more...

    Soldier reprimanded for misconduct

    Generally speaking, what is the main problem with a romantic relationship between members? Heck, most of the relationships I know are between two members of the Forces. We are going to be attracted to like-minded people we have contact with, and we do spend a lot of our time within the...

    Op Podium

    Wanted to ask those who were there, what are your thoughts about OP PODIUM? The reason I ask is because I have spoken to a number of fellow members regarding the organization and execution of the operation and have received replies ranging from "the best" to "at least the money was good".

    Discussion on the C6 Machine Gun

    It might be interesting as part of a "long range" section equipped with 7.62 battle rifles, but generally speaking I believe the C6s work best within the Wpns Det.

    BGen Ménard relieved of Afganistan Comd & other fall-outs

    I've had the conversation with peers about personal relationships between members several times over the years. I know a number of happily, and some less than happily, married military couples. Let's face it, it is going to happen. It should never involve members within the same chain of...

    Size of the Canadian Forces by rank?

    That would not work as I do not have national level access. Besides, this isn't an official question.

    Size of the Canadian Forces by rank?

    Does anyone know where I could find data on the size of the CF by rank? (so many Generals, Admirals, Colonels, Privates, etc.)

    How important is marksmanship for OAS?

    So the general consensus that everyone in the military, regardless of trade, assignment, or element, be trained to a level beyond simple familiarity of the rifle. Is it reasonable to expect OAS members, given the limitations of time and budget, to develop the skill of marksmanship when we only...

    I'm asking because I have been made to qualify in accordance with IBTS.

    How important is marksmanship for OAS?

    Does it really matter that if I'm not proficient in shooting the service rifle if I am an admin clerk? I mean really, what impact can it possibly have on my ability to perform my duties and responsibilities within my trade EVEN if on operational deployment. My question is how important is...

    Body Mass Index and "Obesity"

    Thanks for the advice one and all. I've since accepted the fact that my obesity contributed to the injury, even if it was not the root cause. I'll continue to work on getting the weight down. As far as mentioning something to the Med Tech... I will only do so should I ever have the...
