    I don't necessarily condone this language and style, but I can't say it wasn't fun to watch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj6AXvkBnv4

    9 people shot, 3 of them fatally, at Fort Lauderdale airport, reports say

    I'm never posting again until things are confirmed  as it's amazing how wrong 'latest reports' are.  *facepalm* http://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/no-canadian-connection-to-airport-shooting-officials-say-1.3230725?hootPostID=bf1158704b52cf96fcc7632e0bf3521e Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Terrorist attack in Berlin market - 19 Dec 2016

    Too soon?  Although this was made for the Nice attacks so I suppose not.  *warning : more than mildly insensitive* https://youtu.be/kUBXRSK0osI Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Locks for Barrack Box / Kit Bags

    Getting the feeling that the basic high school locker combination locks that I've been using up until now might not be the smartest thing to have on my follow-on kit box (Big Brown Pelican Case) that's loaded with some decent kit. Was planning on using them because it saves me needing to carry...

    NEO's- looking for reviews and feedback

    Apologies for the necropost but I figured since it's on topic : I never saw anyone reply here on the thread about colour of boot.  Is anything outside of black generally frowned upon, or is there typically lee-way (in units where NEO's aren't banned) as long as the colour isn't too goofy...

    Helmet counter weight

    Sew the pouch right on to a spare (if you can acquire one) helmet cover.  I know at least one armoured crewman that has a spare helmet cover, and has modified it for his personal preferences. I know that's a simple and obvious idea but I'm just throwing it out there in case it wasn't thought...

    Single Quarters & Rations (R&Q) [MERGED]

    Would someone be able to point me towards information about Rations options for CFB Edmonton?  I'm headed there in November and was curious what my options / prices are for full, partial, etc.  While I'm at it, are the various price options for singles quarters (shacks) or is it all one price...

    Moving to CFB Edmonton real soon...

    Old post I know, but as I am headed to CFB Edmonton soon posted to 1 SVC Btn I am curious of the current state of singles quarters if anyone can kindly share.  My situation : -DND has my stuff in storage (approximately a 2 bedroom apartment worth of kit) -I'm looking to buy a house but it...

    Canadian Army Commander Lieutenant-General Marquis Hainse : 'Comined Arms Lvl 5'

    Good day. Came across this youtube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHhZ2XLo67Y In it he instructs senior staff to train with units to 'Combined Arms Level 5.'  My google-fu turned up no results... Anyone able to share what this means more in depth? ...If not no worries, certainly not a...

    David Frum: The disastrous legacy of Pierre Trudeau

    Just a little story to go along with the original linked article : I actually worked as a sound and lighting technician (one of two) at that very debate [or one of the nights that same topic with same panel was held incase there were other nights I am unaware of] before I changed careers over...

    All Things Supply

    Thanks for the reply.  I whole heartedly don't blame the supply Tech's, just am flabbergasted by the fact I've watched a guy walk around in Gortex boots for more then a year and supply here can't seem to help him out.  He knows he can buy some but it is pretty much a principle thing at this...

    All Things Supply

    Edited : to be succinct.  Just getting frustrated with Borden's supply system. A working pair of boots is not 'gucci'.  Nor is a rain jacket.  I'm on a QL3 course, and I know not the army's top priority, but the phrase 'you'll have to wait for your unit for item ______ or a suitable...

    Timelines for 00327 (EO Tech)

    Good day.  I'm having trouble finding in my searches an answer to my curiousity of how long the QL5 course is after the 18 month (+\-) OJT period for RCEME EO Tech Apprentices.  Is anyone able to give me a rough length of time as to how long the QL5 course is [I am aware timings constantly...

    All Things Supply

    Thank you for starting this thread!  I'm new (out of BMQ since April - taking courses at CFB Borden) and    am trying to find out how to determine what I am entitled to in terms of kit.  I respect that there is plenty of gear that can wait until I'm further along in my career, such as at my...
