"Grunts in the Mist" Doc to Speak in Calgary 22 Oct 07

I found the two academic papers fascinating. I've never heard the field experience summed up so well. The inner workings of a Coy Merit Board was a great read also.

Gronk,
a more lengthy but interesting read is "Social Structures in the Regular Combat Arms Units of the British Army: A Model", PhD THESIS by CHARLES MACKENZIE ST GEORGE KIRKE https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/bitstream/1826/1054/1/Kirke
 
Your welcome Gronk.

As for the Navy issue:

Michelle Daveluy, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada:
Anthropology of the Military

"The NCSM Ville de Québec is a Canadian patrol frigate designated by the Canadian Forces as a French unit. As such, 80% of the crew (220 shipmates) could be French speaking. I collected data in 2004 at dock on the East Coast in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where the ship is stationed; and at sea, on a training mission, in 2005. "

"In 2006, I taught a course on the Anthropology of the Military which was greatly inspired by my work with the Canadian Navy. The Course will be offered again in the Fall 2007.

I will be presenting a paper entitled 'Langues, mobilité et sécurité dans les forces armées canadiennes et américaines' at the 2007 Anthropologie et Sociétés Colloquium in Québec City, November 9-11, 2007. (preliminary program) [Any one going ?] The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada financially supports this research (858-2004-0001).

Below is a list of material produced by members of the research project."
