Is the OPFOR going to be made up entirely of reserves or are they going to take Reg force IR postings from Edmonton.  We haven't heard anything about that here either.

No no.  We stay until atleast 1600.  Or atleast my Tp does.  We do our clean up in the morning and sit there all afternoon.  SSM usually walks thru 1445 or 1500.  Then we get the mandatory no drinking and driving speech and then we are out of there about 1600 or better.  I am just saying that...

Does anyone have any info on when the next FE selection board is?  I have my remuster pw in now.  I was just wondering if there was anyone in the know that could shoot a little scuttlebutt my way.  Thanks

Afghan cleric on a mission Praises Canadian role in Kandahar But urges troops to get to know locals Feb. 20, 2006. 04:44 AM MITCH POTTER MIDDLE EAST BUREAU KANDAHAR, Afghanistan—He is a friendly neighbourhood mullah who wants nothing more than to shake hands with a Canadian soldier. And Haji...

Okay everyone, ROE:  I am requesting that this to be a civil discussion and for some productive suggestions to be made.  What I am envisioning here is I will post what I see as the problems and I would love for your replies to be proactive suggestions that hopefully some of our leaders that...

Wow, as I stated in the origional post, this is not my opinion and that I just found it interesting.  I am not crying in my beer/coffee/tea or anything of the sort, I just wondered what everyone thought about any possible solutions or ways to improve the current situation.  If it makes it easier...

I just recieved this email.  I would assume it is from a 1 CER member but no idea who originated it.  It has made its way around and I thought it interesting and a good topic for discussion.  I have simply cut and paste and have not altered this piece; all ideas are that of the originator. ...

Is there any info on the pt test.  I've seen the pam circulating through the unit on CSOR but it says pt test is being developed.  I was just wondering as to what it consists of if it is finished.  I am assuming that it is working along the lines of the Coopers test (min 75 aggregate as per JTF...

TCBF, any news on updates yet?  I am pretty curious as to what has happenned with the Carl G and also whether or not we were able to get the AWES grenades and if so, how many?  Also, when is the SAT III?  We haven't heard anything about it yet in 1 CER.  Just some scuttlebut about a Phase 4...

Armymatters, do some research...read as much as you can on this site and others about IEDs.  You would be amazed how much literature is out there on the subject.  It will help you from looking like a bit of a fool in a forum such as this.  Just a tip for ya. As far as another site, I am sure...

It looks as if this is a go within the next year or two from what the CANFORGENs are saying.  At the Tp level we haven't heard anything about it.  Anyone have any info (or even some "informed speculation") on what the requirements would be for Sappers in this new unit?  How about standards...

For you EOD guys especially but all input is definately welcome... First of all, what does our doctrine determine as the difference between these two?  The field troops are getting very frustrated.  Everything that looks out of wack is an IED.  Almost as if booby traps just fell off the table...

TCBF, have the bugs on the Carl G been worked out yet? AoD71, to my knowledge SAT III is coming up soon and after that the system should be ready for the next Spring EX.  I would say to expect some bugs though.  Most of the major ones are worked out so far as I know but with something this...

Another option instead of new UCAVs is currently being researched by the AF.  The Aurora's new upgrades include optics (not sure how sensitive this info is...any AVN Techs/Pilots have more detailed info?) that the puzzle palace has shown interest in using for Land Observation.  I know it is not...

TCBF, I was wondering:  how are us Sappers going to respond to ERS calls.  A vehicle has a mine strike and we're called out, since the minefield is an area thing and not anything we can find while prodding and doing our drills, how is this going to happen?  Is this going to be a DS solution...

As far as the range, it is whatever it is programmed as by the OCs.  For example if you are enemy force and they want your C7 to be an AK47 or your C9 to be an RPK, they program your sensor on your weapon to say as such, with accompanying ranges.  So ya, snipers are very definately in play, as...

Spr Earl, none of it is indoor.  When you get on the ground in wainright, you get a little in brief and outfit your weapon and sight it to the WES system.  Then you get issued a tac vest with all of the computer goodies in it and a "halo" for your helmet that connects to your vest.  It is just...

Got some info you all might be interested in pertaining to the Weapons Effects Simulation equipment (WES) in Wainwright.  First of all I will say there are a few bugs to be worked out but it is a great system from what I have encountered so far.  Some points: -The Carl G really needs to be...

MCG, I would say the hardest thing to get over is the Ops tempo.  I really do like being an Engineer.  The job is great.  You get your hands dirty and really feel a sense of accomplishment (in the field atleast).  There is a certain mentality it takes to be a soldier - especially from my...

This sounds very familiar.  I heard BGen Biere talk of Tier II and I have also heard it called Joint Action Task Force.  Either or, it sounds interestingly enough like a new version of the Airbourne.  Essentially, a mid-ground between us troops in the field and JTF II.  Is this what you were...
