RIP Troops.  :cdn:  :salute:  :cdn:

I remember we use to get fresh a good many time in the early 80's when I was with 1RCR ( mostly winter exe's if I recall; Earlton, Norway etc). It was a real morale booster in that some of the (new at the time) IMP's left something to be desired (before that we had the old tin can rations - ...

Quote from: SupersonicMax on Yesterday at 20:29:53 On the other hand, I don't believe the audiogram is the best way to test someone's hearing...  I always have (audio) hallucinations in there.... True, but I'm betting the individual DID do his medical at the recruiting centre / detachment...

As Mike has said...move on. I did recruiting medicals (as Mike) from 02 to 06 full time in the regs. Been doing it 'part time' since with the reserves since. Your ENT specialist / doctor may be a professional but I doubt he's ever worn a uniform or understands why the 'high' medical standard for...

Happy birthday to my old Regiment! Pro Patria

Wow...excellent story and inspiration. And I thought I was old at age 45! Way to go Cpl.  Hjalmarson!  :salute:

Myself & few others from the 'Rock' had a 'couple' wobblies with Gorden Pinsent during the 100th birthday celebrations of The RCR'S in 83. Gorden was an RCR from way back. Myself I tried to have a beer with Prince Philip one of nights during the celebrations at the drill hall. Needless to say...

I 'Lost' 2 about a couple of months ago while the van was parked at the mall. I got them before I retired from the regs in 06 out of Gagetown; one was the Legion ribbon & the other was the CADPAT ribbon.

The only reason I'm not going to lock this is so that you can tell me how you know, and what you did to facilitate, that your record from barely 2 years ago is "clean".  Until then, you are on a very short leash here. Bruce. Staff There was probably a very good reason for this reply, but I...

I thought it was the stupidest thing i read today, until I read some of the comments: 'the army is useless and full of morns'  (yep, that's the individual spelling - quote was just removed from the article 'How about hiring student nurses/doctors etc.....I don't want someone who's job is...

My sister emailed last night & asked me the same thing why those not deployed have priority with the H1N1 vaccination. I reminded her about last minute 'taskings' such as the Manitoba floods & the ice storm when the military was called out....& she had released almost years ago with almost 20 in...

Thanks for the info & your reply Vern. RIP Gino; you were a great guy and good friend...  :salute:  :'(  :salute:

wow..Gino Durette ....  I just realized that this may be Gino I knew years ago; Vern, was this Gino who was a mechanic with 4AD workshop in Chatham & Gagetown in the early & mid-nineties? If so I just realized I had lost a good Bud who I use to tip a few at the JR's in Chatham & then at (pre)...

I was just posted to CFB Chatham early 1990 and was at the jnr ranks mess my first night there. Meet a couple of guys there who were in my new unit. We got sh*t-faced. The wife was bar teending. What she saw in me I'll never know. We'll be celebrating 18 years this august....  ;D

If I were young again; hmm I signed up in 82 at age 17 for med a and was told the trade was closed for 2 years. 'Well' I asked, 'What's open?' 'Well' said the recruiter 'Hmm, let me look..why combat arms is open' (sound familiar to anyone?  ;) ) Spent 6 year with 1RCR in London (had a blast)...

Well, why not get rid of the medical exam altogether? I know from personal experience from doing recruit medicals a couple of years ago that from just from doing the dipstick I have seen the glucose reading come back black indicating +++ glucose and sent the applicant off to see his family docs...

$270,000 ...and a year or so ago, wasn't there a piece on how much our tax-payer,s $$$ were spent for our illustrious MOP's 'working lunches', airfare and 'publicity' jaunts around the globe. I remember reading a piece a little while ago how a click of MOP's or senators lounging around some...

I just finished a GMT-IT course in St-Jean. A MBDR on my course was in Afghanistan last year.

I doubt WW III is more than a decade away. More than a decade? Hell, I'm thinking I should save and store any IMP's I can get my hands on. The world economy has never been so deep in the toilet since the 30's. We had a little war after that one. I read somewhere that just after the beginning...

There's a name I haven't heard from my RCR's days in the 80's when Kenny was a master-jack in Duke's Coy. Good man, Kenny Lutz. What's he going to do now?
