If theres any guys on here, current or ex rugby players who want to get a run...

    Warning About The Personal Insurance Company - CF Members Posted to Edmonton

    I also had a major problem with The Personal as well. After 2 years of coverage for my truck, they hiked my rate up by $110 a month after I moved at university. Like the OP, they told me that it was based on my postal code. I obviously asked how a move to an adjacent street in the same town...

    Such a thing as a "good" weight gainer??

    I found Clean Gainer By Rivalus to be great. A little over priced but its effective. A buddy of mine swears by True Mass by BSN.

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    Depends on the Base/CoC. Approval is granted on an individual basis. Generally (from my experience and that of other ROTP Ocdts at my Civi U)  all it takes is a memo explaining why you need it, what that particular job does for you and how it will make you a better soldier. I have a part-time...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    North Korea (Superthread)

    I think that its more the fact that if the US moves without substantial provocation they risk escalating tensions with the Chinese, then the possible possession  of a nuke by DPRK. If the US was to become the aggressor tomorrow, many countries would be angered and the Chinese would be especially...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    I disagree. IMO the Americans have control of this. If the North launched any missile at the Americans in Japan or ROK, or anything bigger than an artillery shell at ROK, the Americans will shoot it down and then go on the offensive. The US's MDA has Aegis components in the Sea of Japan with...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    They have replaced 8 of the Romeo class boats and are, at last report, still planning on retiring them. They are being replaced by the Sang-O class, that could fire a nuclear armed torpedo. The Whiskey Class boats have all been removed service and are in the process of being scrapped. There is...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    Its an interesting blog for sure. No doubt the US has a playbook for DPRK. The time around the meetings they have every year are generally a time of increased tensions so some posturing was to be expected. But the scale to which the DPRK has escalated things is unprecedented. Kim Jong-il only...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    The North does have a ridiculous number of troops and weapons along the border but the South and the US has them out mached. The North has 65% of their military assets within 100km of the DMZ (75% of their aggregate firepower) which is way more than the ROK has within the same area. But the...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    Are you an officer? Get in this thread

    I agree! I'm a ROTP OCdt at a Civvi U and have a part time job. Yes, its difficult to make ends meet sometimes but show me a student who isn't.

    Carrying non military issue knives

    I second that about Besh Knives! I have a XSP-2 that I got as a gift. Besh Knives are expensive but worth every penny. I found that you have to put the time/effort in to keeping it sharp and a well maintained, but show me a knife that doesn't require. I have a SOG Trident folder for day to...

    Signing a Petition? Go or No Go?

    There are many others then more experience than I, so all I can offer is my own experience. As a ROTP OCdt at a Civi university, even things like topics such as term papers can potentially be a problem. I spoke with the Base PSO and what he said was "If it passes the National Post Test, go...

    "Proposed law would strip Canadian citizenship for acts of war"

    It's an interesting idea. There are countries that offer something similar, like the French Foreign Legion (Français par le sang versé) and a few smaller nations who offer an accelerated citizenship process for mbrs of their forces. In the case of Canada, its hard to see an obvious benefit for...

    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    To add my own two cents, take the math when you have the chance. I took applied math in grade 12 (math is not my forte by a long shot) and it really did limit options for me down the road. I go to Civi U under ROTP, but not having a solid grasp of more advanced math has come back to bite me in...

    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    From my experience, I had all the paperwork in 6 Jan, did my CFAT in March and was still eligible. Get your paper work in before the deadline, and everything else (CFAT, drug questionnaire, etc) will be coordinated by the CFRC (assuming your paperwork is squared away) and be done in time for...
