Which a core group of canadians have participated in just this past summer, along with several other NATO nations.

Agree with your statement, practice, practice, practice. The k-sling is a great piece of kit in my opinion, very easy to use. It's been used by several on work-up training thus far and for extraction in some scenarios IE. a hight threat environment it seems to perform. Its fast as hell to deploy...

True enough, for as far as I know Reg Force members living in single q's are excluded from PLD as well. That being said, I would assume a reservist attach posted to a base living in a single q would also not be eligible for PLD?

:crybaby: Suck it up, so over the course of your year and a half of work up training and deployment your out about $3000...you chose to live in edmonton prior to signing on for tour, be glad you got the opportunity to go over...many Reg force members are itching to go (or go again) and can not...

How about doing a search for yourself on meaford....oh i don't know, about 26 pages of threads for you to filter through, i'm sure all your questions have been asked and answered before.

Agreed...100% As it stands now, watch and shoot:) cheers.

Out of curiosity is that not the fault of the INT selection process and standards during training?(not saying that it's lacking in any way) It goes without saying I guess that a good combat arms vet does not necessarily make a good INT O/Op or whatever else for that matter. I realise that the...

I'm not sure where you are going with this one? The CF does indeed recruit people from universities IE. DEO/ Civi ROTP applicants. See GW's post above... +1

Short answer, do a search as this has all been covered before. As far as pay/housing goes, once you start your training you will be getting paid just like any other job. Rations and quarters will come off your cheque and you will be provided a cozy little space to make sure you get the most...

First thing I'd do is set up a kiosk at the border selling poutine, alberta beef and and alexander keith's, you know, try and win over the hearts and minds type of thing.... ::) Not going to happen, we're not living in 1812, why waste the bandwidth :boring:....

Just a little note, "On Tour With the Taliban" will be airing again tonight at 10pm ET/PT...not a bad doc for those who are interested. http://www.cbc.ca/passionateeyemonday/feature_290107.html cheers.

There should be no shortage of people here with experience on the C7A2, have a read through the forums as there are many topics that already cover thoughts and opinions on the weapon by members here. As for pictures, check out http://www.combatcamera.forces.gc.ca , you'll find tons of pics on...

....wow, your right Wes, scary how many topics/posts have such a twisted view of whats really happening in the world today. That site is like a bad car wreck, as disturbing as it is I still cant bring myslef to look away! Know your enemy, both at home and abroad! cheers.

As stated, typical biased bulls*&t coming from a less than reputable source, nothing more. I came across a site that's canadian owned and operated a few years ago, jihadunspun.com, was in a very similar vein to the one posted above...currently offline but wait out for the latest and greatest...

RIP Troops :cdn:

Had a good laugh the first time I saw this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irOMT1Xu6ro

Brihard, have a look at the following link as a place to start, no money needed as it's a package available online from the Defense Language Institute out of Monterey,California. It has quite a broad range of language areas covered, everything from Command and Control phrases to basic greetings...

Dirty Dog, first off good on ya, and I can only echo what the others have stated as far as start doing whatever you can right now to get the body more prepared for BMQ. I joined at a young 27 and can relate to leaving the civy life comforts behind...thankfully, it was the best decision i've ever...
