Tuesdays is the administration night.  Other than that, it's weekends (2 per month for the recce sqn)

I think I can help you there - seeing that I'm a member of the Régiment de Hull.  We are a french language unit, but a lot of the people (most of the cadre) are bilingual.  It's not unknown for us to do some business or have some discussions in english, or even switch between english and french...

Fair ball, although I don't quite see what "resources" you're simulating. Just remember - all it takes is someone who doesn't "dig" unauthorised mods to notice and kick a fit and your OC is going to be overruled in a nano-second - especially if that someone is from the G4 shop at Bde HQ.  Trust...

I can pretty much guarantee that you're not going to get a round of applause for your initiative from your plt WO or your QM sgt.  Something called unauthorised modifications...  I could tell you a story about the crap we got during a staff inspection when we first got the C-7 scopes and used a...

I think we're getting ourselves tied into knots on the word "armour".  The RCAC originated as cavalry and has always retained that role in one form or another - the armour part came in 1940 and whether or not it stays is one thing.  Cavalry, on the other hand, in its purest form, isn't a tank, a...

Way back in my younger days (early 80s), I went through Infantry School ph 2-3-4.  Ph 3 is probably the toughest training I've had in all my career.  It teaches you dismounted platoon tactics - which means we spent a marvelous summer marching up and down the Lawfield corridor in Gagetown...

It would be hard to disagree.   That mount is about twice or three times as high as it needs to be.   I'd hate to be the crew commander firing that thing on the move - one small bump and he'll get an impromtu airborne course.   I hope whoever gets first delivery of those gems writes a UCR...
