    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    I'm afraid your S.O.L. as the requirements are about the same IIRC. I hear Rotten Ronnie's is hiring.

    Future of the OPME program/Everything you ever wanted to know about OPME

    That would alleviate the individuals who enrole and either don't need them at this point in their career or the ones that are enroling and then dropping out without any repercussions. IE- Pte and Cpls. Regards

    Future of the OPME program/Everything you ever wanted to know about OPME

    First come first serve? Try going on and registering four or five times and not getting picked up for any at all.....and it's imperative that Snr NCOs get them done, and dropping out is only allowed if the CO writes it off (which is never BTW). I was on a career course and was still working on...

    Future of the OPME program/Everything you ever wanted to know about OPME

    Well, I registered today for the winter session. No doubt ill get rejected for a Pte in Kingston yet again, even though I registered meer moments agfter registration opened. It's been the trend as of late, at least from most Snr NCOs POV where I work. Regards

    The Khadr Thread

    Should have dropped the ramp for him at 2600' and booted him out the door with the load master yelling " welcome back to Canada". No doubt someone in Parliament will bring it up on Monday about why he isn't released yet.....

    Leo 2A6M CAN - are they in service?

    In many conversations with German crews, including many Master Gunners, there has never been an issue of a hose breaking due to over pressure as there is an overpressure release valve located on the turret floor beneath the gun forward of the loader. One MG has told me that in the 25 years he's...

    Leo 2A6M CAN - are they in service?

    The differences between the hydraulic and electrical system as far as performance, they are identical. In observation mode 360 traverse speed is about 12 seconds, while in full stab its 9 seconds. Not too shabby to move over 27 tons around. The biggest difference between hydraulic and...

    Leo 2A6M CAN - are they in service?

    As one of the commanders of one of the Leo2A4 "played war" for the MND....there are more than that here. Nope. The turret is different as well due to the mine protection package. It's also electric drive vice hydraulic. Then there are IFCS and SFCS differences as the A6 is designed to fire the...

    Leo 2A6M CAN - are they in service?

    Oh Wikipedia strikes again. The Leo2A6(M) are in Montreal undergoing rebuild. None are in either Regiment at this time, unless something has changed since Friday. The priority for the tank fleet is to get the A4s and A4(M)s out the doors first. The Armour School has one A6(M) for TP and...
