Your post is fascinating RDBZ. So I thought I would add my half a cent.
Archaic, missapplied, contemporary..
I have always wondered how it is we can justify, in theory of course, the mistreatment of people, by simply changing the meaning of the words. Or by saying that the terms we previously...
Out of curiosity. I found this and was very interested in what everyones opinion is.

Currently the army is experiencing MCpl Shortfalls in certain MOCs specifically with certain Regts of the Inf, with the impact of transformation...
I have asked several people during my 10 years in the reserves, why we do not hold ourselves to the same physical fitness standards that the Reg force hold themselves too. Or more accurately to what the standards are, or supposed to be.
The answers given to me by officers and Snr Ncms, Reg...
Firstly, I can not speak for all GMT, or BMQs'. That was, however one of the things that was brought up on my course. We were warned that could happen and I am willing to risk that. There was one female that had not thought of that (then again she was a band member and did not realize that...
Oy, definitely I well built soldier. Her biceps are bigger then most men I know. :o
And I like how she has coordinated her diamond drop down earrings so nicely with her do-rag and uniform. If we bring nothing better to the army we will at least decorate it nicely. ;)
It was not sarcasm. And yes..I was proud to pass A fitness test period. I would like to say that I worked my fat a$$ off, but sadly I look behind me and it is still there.
Next on my agenda is quickening my pace, and shortening the time it took me to do it.
Going back to the current...
Too right Gunner, well put!!
Being able to fight is one thing. Not being allowed to fight because a preconceived notion that you are not able to is quite another.
I agree as well that standards should have been maintained, although I am one of the ones that would certainly be booted out, if...
There is also going to be navy personel from Marpac taking part, a marching contigent from Comox, as well there will be a CF18 fly past with the missing man formation over the city of Vancouver.
I think there are also VPD and RCMP marchers as well. There are going to be at least 400 people on...
Canada.com has an amazing story on Smokey.
His death is certainly a great loss. I remember when I first joined. My first Remembrance Day I went to Billy Bishops and to Seaforth. Smokey spent alot of time chatting up the ladies. I even got a pinch on the bottom, saucy devil!!!!
The...
I find that training is few and far between that it would be beneficial to have longer exercises. We usually end up trying to make sure everyone remembers how to do there job, before we can actually do it.
If I was a top notch soldier like your average PPCLI that would be different.
I am...
I don't know if this was posted yet, however I have burned a copy of the shuttle run onto cd. Which I will be using at least once a week.
It is not the same recording as we use here in canada, I got it from the Australian Military Site. It is quite close. I tried getting a copy from PSP...
I don't want something too extravagant. I am cheap, but if it will serve me well while hiking, and would be functional to wear while on kayaking trips, then I won't mind paying a little more. I just don't want to spend so much that should I find myself bailing from my kayak in English Bay and...
