Looks like a Husky mine and IED detector.?????????

I just love " Blanket Party's ". :warstory: Is my invite in the mail? :evil:

Here is my advice - save time and money and go directly to Quebec. Get settled in and then go to Newfoundland :) There is no flat lands, no high buildings and no smog. Just wonderful people who love a good time. ( I am not a member of Tourist Newfoundland or have family members who are...

Send Old Service Vets to Afghanistan.  :warstory:;) I am very close to 60 years old and the CF thinks I'm to old to track down terrorists. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending our young men and women off to fight, they ought to take us old soldiers. For starters...

Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect others. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for those in need. My condolences to the family. :cdn:

A British movie called "Black Sunday" Lahr Theater early 70's. Was on duty that weekend so I decided to catch a movie on Friday night. Got my ticket, drink, popcorn and sat down. Place was nearly full. Movie began and within the first five minutes, everyone there realized that the movie was...

With a price tag of nearly $1,000,000 each, they should be big but mostly safe.

I heard the vehicle mentioned and checked the DND website to see what it looked like. It is not on the DND website, must be new inventory. Google searched for pic.

From a Gunner's POV who has his ticket in Heavy Equipment Repair(diesel mechanic). Plan for your future first. If you plan to do 20yrs and out, are still young enough to find employment. Then keeping up to date in your trade will be a bonus. Veh.Tech. is not a boring trade if you are with a...

Early 70's at an American base in Germany during Gun Camp. After the ammo/charge bags were delivered we normally remove the shells from one pallet and notch out the underside of the pallet to make a cradle for the shell when it is placed inside the gun for firing. A 5 ton came around to pick up...

1968 either Shilo or Petawawa on Election Day. We were paraded to Drill Hall to vote. First time voting, far from home and never had a clue as to who to vote for. While in line, I told the Sgt." I don't know what party to vote for" He turned to me and said," Who signs your pay cheque?" I...

This may be a moot point but would " equal pay for equal work"  come into play here. Having no clue as to the pay regime for Federal employees at Canada Manpower, for argument sake. Would not a Canada Manpower employee want the same pay as an CF personnel doing the same job, if the Canada...

If it came to a vote, I would say no. There is nothing more inviting to a potential recruit than an office full of military personnel in dress code and behaving as soldiers should. As oppose to civilians who are underpaid and overworked(their words), who wears " I hate my job" as a daily facial...

I used Google Earth to locate where the picture was taken, using the road signs, I believe the picture was taken in Regenstauf.
