Infantry Soldiers are Infantry Soldiers. There's no "specific position." A specific position would be, lets say, a Weapons Tech in an Infantry unit. If you applied to be a Wpn Tech and the only positions are in Edmonton with 1 Bn, PPCLI - then that's where you will go. You receive a posting...

Those are battalions (like "sub-units"). There's 2 battalions in Edmonton, so if those are full - they'll send you to 2nd Battalion, PPCLI in Shilo MB etc. It's by availability and demand. You could end up in either Edmonton, Shilo, Petawawa or Gagetown, New Brunswick. PPCLI - Princess...

"Greatly subsidized" Better?

Well... if you fail (which they try to make sure you don't unless you're a complete sh*tpump; but also, other circumstances could be a result) you'll be re-coursed. If you fail again. You're sent home. Released. However as an officer you take the training in between the semesters/years of your...

You'll still have to duct tape the cuffs. And the seams. And the zippers  ;)

Oh boy... Not one of those again.  ::)

Quite precisely. Not even a thank you. Never a thank you. It's always "we're in a crisis, we demand X Y Z, and NOW!" The government could have easily said, "No, get off your fat salary and do it yourself." but instead they were generous enough to being the process of rebuilding a community and...

1-4!! WOO!  :D

You know, it's admirable, the good deeds that the CF - those who have deployed previous to OP ATTENTION and those now mentoring have done. In my opinion though, Afghanistan is a lost cause. We get 5 steps ahead in progress, and the Americans seem to put us back another 20. We as Canadians are...

The UN is a joke (and even that's an understatement). Sure, they've probably done some remote good for someone, somewhere; but I am not in the slightest pleased with much of anything they've ever done (and I doubt anything in the future will be any different either, knowing their track record).

You can't pilot an aircraft, especially ones containing passengers other than yourself, if you're colour blind.

Hahaha :rofl: oh my, hahaha! Ouch, that was a good-er  ;D

Hey now, "Truth, Duty, Valour" airs on that station from time to time  ;D

Oh this is smart... "HEY GUYS!! LETS INTERNATIONALLY BROADCAST THE PRESENCE OF AN IMPORTANT PERSON TO OUR HISTORICAL LINEAGE IN A COMBAT ZONE!!" :facepalm:

While only a small fraction of what was stolen has been recovered, it's still nice to see that they've gained ground. My father put many years of contribution into the Calgary Military Museums (formally Museum of the Regiments).
