Shrek1985, You make a very valid point about alienating the public. However, by giving law enforcement agencies the tools required to effectively do their job, in my opinion they are not being militarized. Just my two cents. :salute:

Does anyone have experience with a Leatherman Skeletool? I'm on the lookout for a simple, compact and tough multitool.

I've been told that there are openings for DEO candidates in the MARS occupation. All the best  :salute:

Well said, eurowing.

Pretty stupid guys - just my opinion. Something like this could have a very ugly outcome. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Sometimes the opposite reaction can far outweigh the action.

Yeah, that's a nice way to get your head caved in.

Yup, I was selected by the HCA selection board which was convened on 15th August last year. I believe I was one of eight, because there were only eight openings. I'm glad that I refused it, because someone who really wanted it must've been offered the job. What I really want is Artillery...

All the best for the HCA Board. I had been selected last year, but I refused it.

nic32, Congrats for being selected - that's huge especially for such a competitive occupation. I hope your family situation improves and you're able to begin your military career. Cheers.

leroi: I highly recommend "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" by Lt. Col. T.E. Lawrence. You could also show them the movie "Lawrence of Arabia".

I finished reading "To War with Wellington" by Peter Snow a few days ago. I'm currently halfway through "Voices from Stalingrad" by Jonathan Bastable. Both these are very well written. Johanthan Bastable has written his book in the form of a collage - of dairy entries/ letters home/ memos from...

I can bet that any and every two-bit Jihadee is going to get himself an RPG or a heavy caliber rifle to try and take a shot at any appache. The arms makers at Darra Adam Khel are sure going to be earning some good coin. These are just my guesses.

Kudos up to Prince Harry  :salute:. RDJP, is correct when he speaks about the increased danger Prince Harry's deployment, or any senior military personnel/ diplomat/ celebrity puts on those around them. These are not my words - http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2007-04-30-harry_N.htm A...

I am not a CF member. My association with the military has been through my father and brother. My brother and I spent our childhood shuttling from one base to another (in India), every few years. India is surrounded from all four corners by very friendly neighbours. Because of this our father...

This dude who claims that he didn't know about Hitler is a blatant lie. Unless, he's illiterate. I'm from India and I had read about Hitler, the Nazi Party, etc in grade school history. Obviously, he's being smart and playing dumb. Even if he didn't know the name earlier, the brand name design...

The word "Arya", has been known to the people of India for thousands of years. This word was anglicized to the word we are all familiar with, ie "Aryan". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan#Hinduism To this day, the people living in Norther India call themselves "Arya". They believe that their...

Just an idea - your references could be the people you train or have trained.  I'm just another applicant. The RC staff will be able to point you in the correct direction.

Dimsum, the bases in India are located all over - some within or adjacent to major cities and some in the middle of no where. By no where I mean, there is just the base and nothing else. You're absolutely correct about the Cadets, in that they're different from the CF. They are certainly not...

I completely agree with pthebeau - no community can claim to be more family oriented. Lets be honest - man is a social animal and most folk would prefer not be away from their family and friends. I will never understand why immigrants from India do not turn up in hordes to the Recruiting...

Cryptic, I'm not qualified to answer these questions. Only a CF recruiter can shed light on these. I don't know what my score was, all I was told  was that I had done well and qualified for all the occupations in the CF. If you're having trouble in a certain area, just use the old school...
