RHF: I feel the coaching part must be in the PLQ, because its not only infantry that must be skilled in coaching a battle shot. That must be a skill common to every NCO that has any business calling himself Army. Good point, but that is a PO check for the Inf 2i/c's course.

Fast Eddy, you are bang on. There is no use in spending our blood and treasure in the hopeless swamp that is Africa. I feel rotten for saying that, but thats the truth. there are very few bright spots over there.

Infantry, Royal Winnipeg Rifles. LBD!

I was wodering that too... Recce Boy, what is it you need to look up, on a BMQ course?

Hello Baloo, Congratulations on finishing the IPWSQ. I think it's an awesome course and was much needed in the inf. I agree with many of your points. I dont agree with the coaching portion being too long, but I DO agree that it maybe should be restricted to PLQ Mod 3. By the way, did you find...

I understand a "glascow kiss" means to head-butt someone?  ;D

I really like coming here and reading all the different views, even from the predictable Yankee go home' crowd that I figured would come out after the release of the newest Bin Laden tape. The folks that post here are among the most credible and sensible. What I don't like is outright false...

Where?? ???

Interesting idea Matt. Here in Winnipeg the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders were formed after the St Andrew's society, the Sons of Scotland and the rest of the Scottish mafia petitioned for a highland regiment to be formed. I would be for it, IF these groups asked for one. I think it would help...

I do believe it is Halifax as scott1nsh said. The regiments would be the Halifax Rifles and the Princess Louise Fusiliers. The PLF is still around.

:salute:

I appreciate the links as well, I would never have known about the articles about Col Strogan or LCol Fulton. Both of them are my hero's. To me, both of them are warriors and role models from different eras. One has played his role in smashing the Taliban sheltered Islam extremists, and the...

Aspiring LI Get in there and do do it. Don't worry for now about being a 'CO'.....  ;)

Jonsey, They can force you to take a promotion, and can release you if you refuse it. Usually from what I've seen they won't though. It depends on your trade and unit. So take your time and smell the roses.

Shows how quick the corporate knowledge required to run these things gets forgotten though. Lots of luck to 39 Bde, who's running it next year.

Combat Cook..buddy I think you are having trouble picking up what I'm laying down. You can fire at me all the excuses you want, the fact remains you weren't there. Getting to the DP point, and working out all the details to get there are the Svc Bn's job. If the subunit CQs wasn't there to...

Combat Cook It was WSB's fault in that it did not have an escort as required. It failed to marry up with one, or failed to request one, or failed to provide one using it's own troops. Thats why it's the WSB's fault. First time was bad but understandable, more than once (and there were a few...

I don't know much beyond hearsay about the live fire trace. I hope THAT sucker gets investigated and resolved... But I can say that the logistic side of the ex utterly sucked. It was very disorganized from the beginning Somebody at battle group HQ and/or the composite Western Svc Bn (WSB)...

Good article. I never realized what a disaster Graham was in Foreign Affairs. Lets hope the Liberal minority government collapses before the CF does.
