I was Promoted While So Employed to WO in Meaford. I had been doing the job for over 6-9 months, Reg Force RCR, qualified 3B, position available and no promoted person to fill job. It was odd but doable. Chain of Command pushed it up and it was approved within months. I was due to be substantive...

Interesting to read that the Bison was never used for what it was intended......an armoured vehicle for the Reserves. Back in the early 90's when it was procured, the Reserves did receive them. I was in the units that were assigned them. I was both in the West Nova Scotia Regiment and the 1st Bn...

Ran over to the BOR and poached it! Now to start "Extreme Slumping"! No replacement identified, no problem.....leave chair vacant and put out of office reply on. Wait a minute..........I'm the Base Ops WO........oh well F_ _ k it! LOL

To clarify some facts for you: 1. SQ has been dead for as long as I remember.  ??? 2. BMQ L has been running since the run up to Afghanistan.  :nod: After the current DP 1 Infantry QS/ TP Writing Boards that were completed this year. Here are the rumours, as I'm not authorized nor do I feel...

me neither! Still waiting......... :facepalm:

This is the main independent operation that a platoon will carry out. As Danger Boy says, it allows young Pl Comd's to plan and execute without being micro managed by OC's. This is a critical operation in my mind. I don't believe it is outdated. It is a fundamental skill that should be practiced...

Techno Viking, I was hoping he would get more too. Something along the lines of a MSC or MMV. The General that day tried to have him reconsider his release. Sometimes you have to make hard career choices and get on with it. DD13

Just to give you some insight. The second officer Techno Viking talks about was my Pl Comd. He started the tour as the junior Pl Comd and finished as the senior Pl Comd. He was decorated for said  incident. He was and still is the best combat officer I've ever met. I would follow him to hell and...

DP1 Inf courses can be exported to any Area Training Centre Det. Such as Aldershot, Petawawa, London, Ottawa, Shilo, Borden and probably other places out there. The ATC's are Wainwright for LFWA, Meaford for LFCA, Valcartier for SQFT and Gagetown for LFAA.  There would have to be a pretty good...

Looking for help. I use to have a Battery Use Calculator in an Excel spreadsheet. I believe a guy in the PPCLI made it. It had all the types of batteries and what device they were used for. It could calculate how many for different lengths of days, etc. If anyone has a copy can you PM me or post...

No, only Mod 6.

Meaford will host 2X PLQ Land Courses starting on 31 Jan and ending 11 Mar 2011. It will be a welcome change from being crammed in Pet with all the other users in the training area. Welcome all students to 6 weeks of fun in the snow.

I'm pretty sure this topic can be summed up easily. I think what the Air Force and Medic world is looking at is adding to the Tactical side of the Air Evacuation chain. It is not meant to take over the SAR role in Domestic SAR or evacuation. As Canada does not have a Combat SAR role, we are...

There is no TCCC course being run in Texas. There are 4 serials starting I believe in March and going until June. DD13

As with some people on this site who have and are right now, soldiering with the ANA. We know what their capabilities and limiltations are. We can't rush the ANA into the fray. With proper mentoring the ANA in my opinion are just as good as our soldiers. The problem is letting them go off on...
