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...

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...

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...

I regret not going when I had the chance. Maybe the next Olympics.  ;)

All the best on the next chapter of your career.

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".

Gorgeous. The actress is nice too.

If Frank does it, it must be a good idea.   ;D

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.

True. Let's hope.

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...

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

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

RIP

It always shocks me just how small the CF really is. His brother was an  instructor on my GMT course. My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Lieutenant James Sebe. 

Thanks. I will be asking my CoC for some time on the SATS this week.

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.

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...

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...
