    All things GPS (recommendations, tips, etc.) - merged

    I've been using the Garmin Rino 110 & 210 for a few years now. Bought the units in Fla to benefit from added features.. They are great devices... but they can be jammed ! The 1st time it happened to me I was walking on the deck of a cruise ship, as I got closer to the radar tower my screen...

    Trying to start a reserve unit

    Wow ! I never expected someone would be trying to start a new unit (or expand) in these years of cutbacks, you have a lot of gumption. Hats off to you for your effort. Now I didn't read through all the 9 pages of posts, but I am reminded of the humble origins of my own Reserve unit, Les...

    Least appealing Aspects of Infantry

    Not to bring the thread back on course but I do have these memories: - Lighting a smoke and breaking it in two because I'm shivering so hard & not being able to light another because my fingers are frozen. (I eventually quit - smoking) - Having to fill up your trench & redig 10 feet East...

    K9 unit

    As a dog lover & trainer that's a BIG downer  for me. It's like putting down soldiers that have seen action, beacause they are "damaged" & their social re-incertion in mainstream society is difficult... I'm sure there's a better way to do things than what has been done before. The handlers ARE...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Things are never as cut and dry as I've made them out to be. Iran may in fact still be quite a long ways from developping a nuclear weapon & : "Tehran says it wants nuclear energy only for electricity. It insists on a right to atomic power for peaceful use under the Non-Proliferation Treaty...

    Paying Compliments (Saluting, Verbal Address)

    I asked the moderators to unlock this topic so I could contribute my 2c .... This oldtimer has served with many nations (as a CF soldier), in many countries, on many bases. A professional soldier will salute all national flags, period! Will salute all officers, all the time, period, if in doubt...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I believe that, as soldiers, more than anyone, we are in a position to appreciate the risks and costs of war. I dislike very much the thought of going or sending someone to fight. I would however, do so unhesitatingly when all other options have been considered and exhausted. We must learn...

    K9 unit

    Since leaving the Forces in '98, I have been involved in SAR as a volunteer in a local group: http://www.scr.ca/ . Seeing the dogs perform is amazing. I also raise pups for seeing eye & assistance dog training http://www.mira.ca/ . Most people have no clue to the value of trained K9 units. For...

    RESISTANCE TO INTERROGATION INSTRUCTOR

    My only experience on the subject is an Ex during which we were captured. Captivity proved uncomfortable but the interrogation by real police detectives was scary. The strategies & tactics they used were overwhelming for most of us (even though we were not physicaly touched). The psychological...

    Nucléaire iranien et la position du gouvernement religieux Iranien.

    En tant que militaires, nous sommes particulièrement bien placés pour apprécier les risques et les coûts de la  guerre. J’ai une grande aversion pour les conflits armés, mais il faut être a l’écoute des leçons de l’Histoire. En rétrospective, les conflits de la 1ère et 2ème Guerre Mondiale...

    Old soldier's had enough! - Historical Perspective

    Perhaps canadians are more aware of their military today than in the late 1980's - but I remember some people not knowing I was wearing a military uniform (CF's or work dress) when in public. And man I hated being asked for directions at the airport - what do I look like ?   ??? a tour guide ? ...

    Domestic QRF reservists

    When the Ice Storm struck in 1998 (Monday, Jan 5th), I contacted my res. unit to find out when we would be deployed, no info was available. I proceded to secure my lodging and make arrangements for my wife to have a place to stay with friends. By Friday the 9th, I showed up at the BOR - still no...

    if you had to do it all over again

    In a heartbeat ! My 15 years as a reservist in the CF have defined who I am (for the better). I belong to a great fraternity and I'm very proud of it. The only thing I'd do differently? - join younger !!!

    Leadership View

    Definitely get to know your men individually and personally. In time, you can weed out those who underperform, move them to other trades or release them. Motivating a reservist to participate when he’s not into it, is a big challenge all leaders in the reserves have faced. There is no simple...
