"RTaylor if you don't know anything don't post." This IS what happened when 2 of my friends transferred from the reserves to the reg forces while I was still in. This was in 2001 when it occured, and they were told that their new unit would supply them with their kit. My cousin transferred...

Yeah I had alot of fun when I was there but there were alot of rough times. Just watch Basic Up and you'll get an idea of what goes on. The WNSR instructors I had at the time were great people and there is a shitload of unit pride. Not just alot but a shitload, and just remember the boys from...

If your going from Res to Regs Im pretty sure that you hand in your gear back  to the unit. I dont think this is whats done in the regs when you go from unit to unit. And don't be a greyman, but don't be the overbearing asshole know-it-all. Just use what you know to make yourself noticed but at...

Holy crap, a post that I can actually give input on (to a degree) from my past experience!! I did my BMQ and QL3 at Aldershot (well, until I ripped the snot out of my leg and was forced into a Med RTU). Here's my tips for your course and for Aldershot : 1 - Go in with eyes and ears open, do...

Thanks Vern, I remember the Navy divers being sent to help the Combat Engineers search for and diffuse IEDs and hte like, I wasnt aware that other navy types were there also. I kind of thought that other trades would be doing other things also. My question was a bit vague, I was wondering how...

Im wondering how this would have been handled in the Canadian Armed Forces. Anyone with experience have input?

The way I interpret it, she was more fearful of dealing with the locals and doling out cash because of their localized beliefs, and her being of Asian and Jewish descent as well as a woman. I dont think she should have refused to go, but I do think that she should have requested another job...

My wife is due to pop our 2nd child at the end of May, we own a house close to CFB Greenwood, she has an amazing job with the government in the area, all our family is around here, and I don't expect preferential treatment even though I'll be starting Basic any time now. I really wish teh OP...

As far as I understand Coms Rsrch is a different beast than LCIS / Lineman / SigOp.

It's all the American's influence rubbing off on my working at a call center for Sprint. Pure scandal if I do say so myself ;)

That's pretty nice of you to offer that SGT, I'd love to see a sub board like that ran by someone who has work directly relating to the PRETC, because I know after I'm done basic and waiting for my AVS / POET training I'd love to have info about it. As a side note SGT, I live close to Greenwood...

I still have my old wolly from the reserves, it's a great jacket for looking stylish too especially in the autumn or spring. Stinks like hell when it gets wet though and the neck does get itchy. I was debating going and getting a silk liner put into it, or at least on the neck and inside the arms.

I'd love to go there sometime, got some blood there from a few generations back.

I wonder if they ride kiwi's into battle...  ;D

I'll get us back on topic : So since we're a commonwealth nation, we can join the militaries of the other commonwealth nations without many real issues?

Just mark me down as being blind, or retarded, or a mixture.

LMAO I just noticed that CB.... "New Flash Version Coming Soon" sigh

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I was wondering are helmet cam allowed in the Canadian Army overseas. Hopefully when I am done my Infantry course I will have the opportunity to head over to Afghanistan and was just wondering if Helmet cams are allowed. With the way the OP...

Hey all, There's something new counting down on www.forces.ca Any speculation? I thought i saw a post on this a week or so ago but it's lost to me.

All we can do is speculate why he did it, and to me it was a joke and doesn't merit all the attention or BS.
