Stupid question time. I've always heard that officers are considered gentlemen/ladies and NCM's are the men and women. Is there a reference/pub anywhere that actually says this? Cheers.

Hi guys, I've searched all around for a picture or anything that could tell me where to stick this thing. The vehicle tech's trade badge on a DEU, can anyone post a pic or tell me which way it's suppose to face? Cheers!

On Killing and On Combat are 2 very good books

anyone know if the new ruck has any photos out? there a website I can look at it?

I'm a Cadet Liason NCO. The duties that I preform include assessing the CIs and making sure training is conducted safely and inaccordance with the training plan. You should contact your affiliated unit's CO and ask him for advice on your duties.

wow. Well, this summer I was with the Pats and they told us ( and we did do  ) section attacks at the knee durring the approach phase. I can only go with what we were told / did. As for the comment, 'The practice of ALWAYS going prone is intended for troops engaging in basic section level battle...

Yes we do. It's annoying actually. The 3 block war concept isn't new, just the term is. All that time we spent in Yugo we were actually doing it. Abeit without all this speciallty training. The sole reason we were good at it was we already had all of our war fighting skills in place. We proved...

I've never been to CFB Brainwashing center. Good then we are in agreement as troops in Afganistan do have C-6 mounted G Wagons, QRFs, and LAVs all at their disposal. Durring Battle Drill #3 you are supossed to report to your superiors to inform them of your plan, if they have assets for you...

well I'm still waiting for my starship troopers jump suit so my sect doesn't get eaten up by whatever I'm engaging. The concept of a section attack sounds good in theory. However the rules are : 1. A section is never alone. 2. There is always supporting fire. 3. Rules always fail in times of...

funny. Camping, hiking, hunting ? Well son have I got a trade for you. Back to reality, take a look at what you want for the future, if you decide to leave the CF what skills would you want to bring back to the civi workplace? Infantry is a good go though, and the building block for all other...

and the only colour is olive drab...wait now it's nintendo cam! Seriously though, who gives a rat's ass? If you do your job and do it well I don't care what you do on your time, just don't bring it to the parade square

I'm glad the boys fired back and quickly. Don't want the locals thinking your just there for show. Johnny Canuck don't take no crap. :cdn:

First off I'd like to thank all the excellent comments regarding this topic. I'm glad I'm not the only jack out there that feels something needs to be done. The points that I received are: 1. PT tests need to be looked at and changed for the non combat (CF Express) / combat arms (BFT) 2. The...

Alright, I know that the resereve unit are responsible for sending the files to CFRC for processing. However, when they do their interview / Apptitude test / medical / CF Express test, ( All done at CFRC) a light has to click on at some point that these individuals can't be soldiers. We had a 98...

also the MLPs might not be in line with the current TP that Gagetown pumps out

lol, he wouldn't have been the first! :dontpanic:

by the way my motive is producing the best soldiers Canada can get, not the most. edited for spelling  ;)

Thx Caesar, now I don't have to type alot. I think the military has to change it's recruiting requirments. While I understand that the military must be open to all Canadian citizens, surely we can impose some standards besides Grade 10 and doing a set min. number of situps and push-ups. Some of...

Same here! Just wake up a bit earlier and flush your sytem. Then you'll be good to go
