The paper here in Winnipeg was calling it the largest Canadian military parade since the 50's but I'm not sure what that means in terms of real numbers.

Wow, umm... I don't even know where to start.  :-\ Tyguy, have you checked out www.forces.gc.ca?

Did she forget about the Boer War and what Canadian troops did to protect democracy in Korea as well?

I'm pretty sure it would be because of what infantrygf said above. Accutane can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, etc. and the CF doesn't want to take on anyone with the possibility of this happening.

Why exactly should we be cutting back support for people fleeing things like murder and rape in their own homes? I don't see what your reasoning for this is. Bob

For anyone wondering, here's Rationman's bio and a pic. http://www.espritdecorps.ca/darcy_knoll.htm

Thanks Inch

I wasn't sure where to put this so I decided here was a good start. ;D Just out of interest, no practical application, if you qualify as a pilot and after your 7? years, release and later come back as a NCM, could you still wear your wings? I'm pretty sure this would be the rarest situation to...

You can use them, this site just prefers that you don't if you're not actually in that unit or have that rank.

Magma, I find it pretty hard to believe that you're a Sgt. and don't know how to wear the uniform. Around here they're pretty strict about not pretending to be someone you aren't. So, you should probably either fill out your profile  to back it up, or change your avatar.

There was a thread about this a while back if you want to search. I think it was in one about saluting officers in a hallway.  If thats any help at all. ;D

That's why you guys need kilts.  ;D That plus, when its about 33 degrees here in the Peg, there's nothing quite like that cool breeze.

I've got a YOTV pin. I got it a Encounters with Canada, a government program in Ottawa during a session with a Combat Engineer about peacekeeping.

    You're both right, but in day to day usage in French, "fusil" is used in place of gun. It's pretty much a generic term. Also "voltigeur" is the accepted French term for Rifleman, I just forgot that when i was making my original translation. "Fantassin" is used for a regular infantryman.

You're right. Sorry, that was some sloppy French on my part.

If you do your B.Sc. at RMC, is it possible to go into a medical school at a civi university right away if you plan to become a MO? or would you have to either do your 4 years? and then apply or go through civi university to get your B.Sc. and then try and go MOTP? Thanks

Ya, I was thinking about the Vandoos so I guess not then. Has anyone ever seen any bilingual documents with regimental names translated? Come on. You mean you've never heard of the Karantwheats?

Can the names of regiments be translated from English to French or vice versa? Ex. PPCLI = Infanterie Leger Canadien de la Princesse Patricia or RWR = Fusilliers Royal de Winnipeg

From what I heard... SPOILER At the end of the episode, Harm and Mac finally decide that they're perfect for each other after like 10 years and decide to get married. They announce it to everyone at the bar and then they flip a coin to see who gives up their commission and who takes the...

So is he getting one VC or a VC with a bar because on the MoD website it says: I may be wrong but can't the VC only be awarded for a single act, and not a compilation of several acts of bravery? None the less, kudos to Pte Beharry.
