A few questions When you are issued your kit, is it before or after you are sworn in? Can your kit be mailed to you? (i live 1500km from the reserve regiment i applied to.) What does your kit contain? If the kit contained a DEU, would it be appropriate to wear for lets say a highschool...

I have to wait 6-8 months for my medical files to be proccessed. Everything else is done.

The RCMP stayed with the British salute. I had the opportunity to use it at RCMP camp  :) :) and yes, I did like it. Simple and effective.

Ok then, I could come to agreement on the Governor General becoming head of state, but still, not elected in a federal way. Why not have the provinces appoint the Governor General? I hate to see canditates from each party having a member running forthe position. The idea of the governor general...

Good one, but im sure many will be dissatisfied if the decision will go through. May I ask you Infanteer, on a personal matter? Do you have care for Canadian Heritage? Surely, the Queen has done more positively then negativly, has she not? Also, a question directed towards the members on this...

The constitutional Monarchy is part of our heritage.

Why not. Ive seen clubs from "magic card club" to "Roman Legion rein actors." People have all kinds art, tools, ect that represent their heritage. Anyone been in a Ukranian family's house? Or how about a Irish household?  The point i was trying to make is that anyone can enjoy their heritage on...

Why is it such a problem to "give up your status"? I see the whole status issue as a crutch the native people lean on. Im sorry, but we cant all reflect on our heritage everyday. This country grants everyone to practice what ever they believe in, but in reality, it dosnt really work that way...

Well, the system is not really out of date, over 20 years old, but still, brand new compared to Britain and the U.S.

Well, my step brother (non native) worked on a reserve. Now, this guy was a city kid, open to all diversity. He was very open minded. He went for a job that was offered by a native band to work on a reserve. At first, he enjoyed his job, and began to look at a future in the community. He looked...

What's to point out? This has been covered enough times to make me bash this computer. Still though, people continue to argue over it. You continue to repeat yourself, as do others. Calling the Queen a "imbread" is hardly constructive. Im sorry, but your a hypocrite 

 Well, ive read a bit of this post, and ill post my impute again. Fact -- Canadians of native heritage have better opportunites to gain goverment jobs based on their race. Proof- Look at a CF recruiting form. Fiction -- natives are lazy. Well, i know a few hard working Canadians who are of...

Im going to post my oppinon, so here it goes. I would be willing to accept the govornor general becoming head of state as a LAST option. As a young person, raised in a small town atmosphere, I believe, like some of my peers, that the way our goverment runs is a Canadian form. We have a senate...

  Well, the thought of serving for a Yankee president, for a Yankee foreign policy, and with Yankees and not Canadians is rather unappealing to me.

Mod Vs Mod, this will be a neat show. You know, he does have a point. Im sure during "god save the queen" you arent singing, even though it's Canada's national anthem. Along with O Canada

I was under the impression that a private has the potential to earn over $10,000 in the reserves annually, is the reimbursement  seperate?

Just saw this on the BBC --------------------------- A major quake in the Indian Ocean has hit the coast of the Indonesian tsunami-hit island of Sumatra, triggering an alert across the region. The quake was given a magnitude of 8.2 by the US Geological Survey who have warned it could cause...

I like the idea, seems practical. The CF should also try to indroduce job protection for those who go overseas also. A lot of people i know dont join because of this, the risk of losing full time employment is too great.

Well, finished at 2. Passed all the tests, almost did well enough on the CFAT for infantry officer even though i fucked up badly. Passed medical, but they want to look into my past experience with runners knees, so that will delay my medical for a bit. The physical was easy, did 40 pushups, and...
