Reservist with 1RNBR.  Just finished SQ a couple of weeks back and had a blast. :salute: :cdn:

Reserves, just finished basic a few weeks ago.  Finally got off my a$$ and joined. Something I have should have done years ago when I was in High school (15 years ago). :salute: :cdn: 1RNBR

I agree with many of the opinions, when you raise your right hand and do solemnly swear--- then by god they have your a$$ for as long as you signed up for.  But you wait and see this country of ours, though I love it dearly and would defend it to my last breath, is full of bleeding hearts that...

My process went very fast also.  Am looking to join reseves,as I know have a very good job but am looking for a challenge.  Went in to local Armoury talked to there recruiter got the paper work, after I had it filled out and dropped it off at the recruiting office I had a call with in a week to...

Just read that Calixa Lavallee the composer of O Canada and Civil War Vet was also of the opinion that the U.S. should annex Canada.  Kinda strange to pick his music as our national anthem????? :salute: :cdn:

Was wondering if the 105mm gun will still take on anything it would meet on todays battlefields.  I know that the fire controll system on the leopard is top notch, but even if they get off the first shot and its on target will it take out a Russian MBT? :salute: :cdn:

One of those blockade runners was Alexander Kieth of the brewery fame.  He was actually charged with trying to smuggle arms into the South, who he supported.  The ports of Halifax and Saint John seem to have favoured the south,l farther up the Saint John river valley there was more support for...

I always thought I knew a fair bit about our country and its history until I was working with a lady who was from Romania.  She had just became a Canadian Citizen and what she had learned about this county for her exam blow me away.  She knew things that I had never even heard of. :salute: :cdn:

This subject was touched on in the MOH forum but I think it deserves its own home. Thousands of Canadian fought in that war.  From the Maritimes alone over 3000 fought with reg from Maine.  around 1000 fought with Minnisoda reg and about 100o with Massachusetts. There is around 350 men of...

You are right about Chippawa, what I should have added was that it was during this campain (invasion) Scott made his appearance with his Brigade.  Scott was at the battle of Queensten heights and was captured when the Militia refused to cross the river, siting that they did not have the right to...

Also at Ft Detroit, Gen Brock had the Militia dress in red coats to make the Yanks think that he had regulars with him. I think he had a total of about 600 troops with him including Tecumseh and his warriors. This war was the real birth of both the US and of Canada (in my opinion) Even though...
