I would never suggest that the CF be the ONLY responders.  The police, firefighters and EMS teams are definately more geared to this type of a task. (I used natural disastors examples because that is the closest example of reservists from outside of a troubled area responding quickly) I stand...

1st, they are not MY reservists.  Although I would LOVE to have my own personal Army.  ;D 2ndly, I know it is currently not the Reserves 'Raison d'etre' to be Emergency Responders, thus my saying "SHOULD be trained as first responders". 3rdly, just where would they be getting "Recalled" from? ...

Sorry George, I have to bring up the reserves. The reserves from the areas surrounding the incident should be able to help out until the regular force is mobilized.  As Kirkhill pointed out, the local authorities may not be in a state that they will be able to properly respond.  It would make...

There are several reasons that the CF should have been involved, I'll highlight a couple. More exposure of the CF in instances like this would help in recruiting and public opinion. Using us as a last resort sounds great, IF we are going to help the situation.  Unfortunately if we don't...

Why wasn't the CF involved in this?  ???

Maturity earns respect and shows respect for those around you. Don't misread and think that it isn't okay to joke around or have fun, it's great...I do it all the time. But don't do it at another's expense and don't do it ALL the time. You act the fool, you ARE the fool...

You know Zarathustra, that is a simple idea.......but it works. Now the question is; Will we be a nation that reacts to the increasing threat, changing only after we are threatened...potentially to late OR one that is proactive and anticipates the upcoming threat and prepares for it now...

I have to agree, a couple weeks out of phase training is WAY to soon. It should be time in AFTER phase training.

Yes, I have... a few times, as well as other parts of Europe.  I'm sorry to hear about your Ex's experience, I bet it was uncomfortable and p**sed her off.  I highly doubt she saw it as a compliment (as George suggested it was earlier). It's all about respect for each other.  Cat-calling shows...

I just got the official word and for those that were interested it will not effect TF1-06.

P-Free is that going to effect the upcoming Roto?

LMAO 2002!!! The article I read was from Sept 15, 2005.

NEVERMIND

It's real. I read it in the newspaper (and you know EVERYTHING they write is perfect)...I am looking for the official report and will toss it up as soon as I find it.

George, in what perspective would I assume it is a compliment to hear someone cat-calling my wife or daughters? And yes European culture is more tollerant of the nudity, but go there and try to get away with cat-calling or other child-like and perverted acts and you'll quickly be taught the...

(sarcasm) Being from Ontario I have to say it is the friendliest, and anyone that disagrees is an idiot!  :-\ (/end sarcasm)

The rest of the Forces promotes for time in, Arty should follow suite or they will be left behind. If the policy was to be changed for Arty it should be changed for ALL.

Good to hear that, thanks Redeye!

Any idea when the new small pack system will be delivered to the reserves? Has it begun already?

I wouldn't call it amazing, but I wouldn't turn the channel when it comes on either. It's entertaining, a bit over the top sometimes and it tends to paint the US Army in a poor light. If it was put up against Truth, Duty, Valour it wouldn't been seen on my TV.
