From the recruiting site.... Basic Military Occupational (MOC) Training for Infantry Soldiers is conducted by their regiment. It takes about 10 weeks, and takes place at one of the following Military Training Centres: The Royal Canadian Regiment: Meaford, Ontario; Princess Patricia's Canadian...

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. With a large number of foreign fighters in Iraq behind many attacks it seems that they are moving to the fight, wherever it may be. My guess is that trend will only continue as the war on terror migrates west (moreso than it already has), in to North...

You sure about that one? Google "Iraq attack + Oil pipeline" and let me know what you come up with. If you think those we'll be fighting at home are much different than those coalition forces are currently engaging in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere I think you'd be mistaken. It seems to me...

I'm hoping that the Jeremy Hinzman case will set a precedent for the others, long story short the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board denied his bid for asylum, rejecting his argument that he would face unfair persecution if he was to returned to the US. It's been a while since I looked in to...

Propaganda site is an understatement, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself a few times as I read through some of it's pages. As far as links to the CBC and the BBC, well, that certainly adds fuel to the fire regarding the media bias that others around here have so eloquently elluded to! cheers.

Recently, while doing some research for my Arabic class I happened to come across a site that may be of interest to many of you. I can't quite fully express the uneasy feeling I got while viewing it's pages and perusing it's content, of which it has much to offer, albeit from a decidedly...

No weapons??...and the countless, mortars, rocket attacks and massive bombs dug under Israeli checkpoints constitutes no weapons?   ::) The only difference being that Western Nation Armies are by law required to follow their ROE, please tell me what code of conduct a suicide bomber follows when...

And of course with their retraction everybody's happy now ::). In addition to Bruce's link CNN has a bit more from the reaction of some muslims in Afghanistan... But Muslims said they suspected that pressure from Washington was behind the magazine's climbdown, Reuters reported Monday. "We will...

Thank you for that S_Baker, looks like I have some insightful reading to pass the time with. Quoted text below... UK/BM-12 TRANSLATION Principles of Military Organization: Military Organization has three main principles without which it cannot be established. 1. Military Organization...

ScotteyH, where you will get posted will depend upon a number of different factors, what MOC you are going for, where the vacancies need to be filled etc etc.  Tons of info in the recruiting forum that covers all of this in detail, have a good read through there. Assuming that you are talking...
