I've won 5 coffee's so far this year, but then again I drink coffee like a feind!

Thank you for saying this as I was just about to start fuming about it. beenthere, we have 2 main Supply Depots, 1 here in Edmonton, and 1 in Montreal. Items that take a while to get are sometimes on back order from the manufacturer, or we are awaiting new procurment contracts (item manager...

To add two pennies here Vern, we recently had a PO1 change uniform to Army WO. They figured they did enough army stuff that they might as well become army. As well, it saved said person from having to correct all the young Pte's from calling them WO instead of PO (not I, as I know the difference...

Thanks for the quick check, I remembered seeing something, but wasn't sure. I'm reading the link now, pretty cool!

I saw one of them on PRTC property while I was in Chilliwack for PODIUM, I had to take a second look because I wasn't expecting to see a non-green armoured vehicle buzzing around. Did we not give the City of Edmonton a couple of these too?

There are inserts available for the C-4 Gas mask, and the standard issue BEW. You won't get either of these until you get to your unit, or until you get on a QL3 course that requires the use of them. I'd hold off worrying about them until you start your 3's.

If Mr Yon would like to guard the bridge to make sure it's safe than he can go right on out and do that. He obviously hasn't got a clue as to how a military operates.

While I have not been in nearly as long as you were Kat, nor been in a combat arms trade, I have seen 4 ND's, all while in the training system. 3 of these were during the BMQ confirmation ex. (they claimed sleep dep, I claimed B/S). All 3 did not perform a proper unload (mag still in, cock...

I was shown (over 2 years ago, back in basic) the Tacvest drag by my infantry Sgt. Basically what you did was stick your non shooting arm all the way through the tacvest, grab the vest on the far side, and drag away. This left your shooting hand free to return fire if needed. I guess they aren't...

It's a new idea you are running with Mike, of course you are going to have a couple of small bumps along the way. I think of it more as a tinkering project for you :D

Mike, I'd like to be the first to openly play the honesty card with this one. I think I'm in the same position as Oddball is with regards to the lapse in between. My number shows 2, however I believe I had a year in between subscriptions, and am only about 2 or 3 months into the 2nd full year.

Now now, you are both right :P

I'm here, I'm here! CQMS is a position AND also is a section. As was stated earlier, the position takes over when the CSM is away. It can be either a WO, or Sgt, and sometimes there can be a Cpl as acting CQMS, however they don't get to be the CSM fill in, and is only on a temp occasion. The...

Tell me about it, why do you think I put Pet down. It wouldn't have cost as much to move me there either.

They might end up keeping you in Edmonton, it wouldn't require a cost move, and that is a big factor come posting time. Considering each move costs a fortune to start with. That being said, you would only possibly be in Edmonton for a couple more years (4-6), then you have a much better chance...

The Para-Rigger trade opened up to those fresh off of their 3's just under 2 years ago. I was on the first 3's course that was offered direct entry into it, sadly I didn't give it a shot due to a medical limit I had at the time. I do however have a friend that jumped on that wagon, and he loves...

You'll notice the the bayonet has a pointy end, that's the end that it is designed to be used with. It's a thrust weapon, not a knife. With that being said, I'm sure we've all used them in ways they weren't intended.

The issuing of a mutli-tool is limited to operational units only, and is also subject to availability. If you want to bring one feel free, but you won't be getting it from supply (maybe in Battle school you might get one, highly doubtful before that). We have a hard enough time getting...

I believe Hornell Heights is in fact named after David Hornell, although I can't find any information right off hand to support this. As RCAF Station North Bay (Now 22 Wing, CFB North Bay): "During World War II it was used as a refueling and emergency diversion airbase for aircraft being ferried...

That would be excellent, but do take your time. My ability to make it online will be severely limited over the next 10 days or so.
