Have you spoken with the legion for support? They might be willing to assist you as the message your truck conveys appears to be directly in line with their message. As far as landing a DND transportation contract, I don't know what advice I can give you. By law contracts are awarded by...

To clarify on the original point about the leopard. Canada purchased Leopard 1A3s in 1978-79. These were designated Leopard C1s. Later Canada upgraded its entire fleet with new turrets (designed for Leopard 1A5) and electronics packages in 2000. These Leopard 1A3s were then classified by Canada...

This thread is slowing down. Due to the lack of posts, I feel the need to post out of turn.

"If you don't ensure that you have placed the cocking handle fully forward once the C6 is cocked, the cocking handle will be stuck to the bolt moving forward and back when ever it is fired." MCpl "If you find that you are in a minefield, the first think you do is warn others to stop, then kneel...

Promotion rates also vary dramaticly between reg force and reserves, plus every unit does things a little differently. In service trades (at least in the reserve world) you tend to see alot of people getting Cpl right around two years in, the minimum. But they often tend not to go above that. I...

Hmmm, the whole idea of pics and links seems to really be usefull for helping out our friend from down under understand what we have. C7 C8 and C9 seem to be done, lets post something on what else we have. I suck at forum code, so only links from me. Your friend, the mag 58/c6/m240g...

I have been informed that on the SQ course being run in Chilliwack ATM that knee pads are not only accepted, but are being temp issued to all the pers. It would seem that the army has finally come to the realization that while making the recruits do section attacks on gravel W/O knee protection...

Well, they have finally issued everyone CADPAT uniforms... I guess that is a good sign. Up until a year ago new recruits were still getting olive drab from some units. People that were NES for the last few years still turn it in today. I am not holding my breath on the rain gear, I recognize...

From what I have heard from the grumpy people I have run into over the last few years, LFWA is a bit bad for poorly bumping courses, or more specificaly mishandeling the responce to courses cancelled or over filled out east. Buddy from my unit reported to Bordon ready for his QL5 weaptech only...

On basic you will be taught drill from the ground up. The staff might march you to the drill square to teach you, but the first day on the square they will act and teach you as if you have never walked before let alone marched. They will break every command and action from turning to stopping to...

Are polar bears that much of a threat that we need to give the rangers RPGs? Their Lee Enfields seem to be good enough for them at the moment.

I got a tour of the Edmonton Depot last summer on my QL3 supply and one of the stops was the weapon vault. One giant room with tens of thousands of FNs in tri-walls. One of the tri-walls was opened and they pulled a rifle out for us to hold. It was in a sealed bag coated in grease and appeared...

smashes head into keyboard... filled the page with a response then accidentally went back a page. lots of typing... round two! To the first poster. I am a reservist SupTech private, I am the type of person that you see behind the counter telling you that you can't have any kit. Let me try and...

Interesting link Big Bad John, I didn't find to much information that I was looking for but still ended up spending a while going through what was there. I think I am a few years away from needing the courses documented there, they seem to be aimed at base safety officers and the like. As for...

I am course loaded to fly to Borden in a week to take a course on HAZMAT handling. Is anyone else here loaded on this course or taken it in the past? I wouldn't mind getting an idea as to what is expected. I have never been to Borden before, a little odd as I am a trade qualified sup tech (I did...

I'm on weekend leave from BMQ in Chilliwack right now and so far in the first week or so 3 or 4 snapped. One guy in my unit is sikh so he just clips a cornflake onto his turban, it is an old school one that is much better quality then the ones they give out now. Oh well, not to much longer till...

I'm on weekend leave from BMQ in Chilliwack right now so I am assuming that the original poster is on the later serial that arrived on sunday so the way I was treated is likely similar to how they will be treated. No personal knives over 4", kit inspection on arrival, and the best of all, the...

The Canadian Forces Officer Candidate School barracks at chilliwack are kinda comfy. That is where they are housing this years BMQ/SQ course. The RCMP resteraunt buffet is also kinda tasty for those early morning meals. Sure beats the original plan for throwing us down in mod tents on concrete...

Hmmm, not to belittle you or anything but do you not think that on a comment that critiques others massive calculation failures maybe you should do a mathamaticle check of your own facts? 2 billion(2,000,000,000) is not ten(10) time 2 million(2,000,000) A ten time cost overrun would be, well...

One quick question before sending in troops. Who would you support? The oppressive government or the lawless rebels? Arguments could be made for both sides and sending Canadians into the middle and hoping for the best would likely only end up in a few of our guys coming back in boxes and a very...
