Dirtymurph missing CVS I never thought I would ever hear those words. LOL Thats a good one.

Yes we still have the Leopard, I know at the School here in Gagetown we still have 8 the rest are are at the LDSH and in Wainwright. So as for were your getting your info that there gone its incorrect but in fact they have been just shuffled around. Who really knows when they will leave for...

Can we gets some sent down to the School kit shop? If not I will put the word out and see if theres any interest down here. I know I want one. Thanks

If I was in your shoes I would go RCD. Like 2B said you are from that area. Its always nice to be close to home. As for being stuck in Pet you will only be there for a few years as an officer and then shipped off somewheres anyways. But if you want to see the west coast well then LDSH would be...

That is a part of the unload drill is to inspect the chamber and the face of the bolt. So in your example reccecrewman if that soldier did do the proper unload he would have seen the round left in the chamber and would not of fired the trigger. I know many times coming off of patrols it would be...

When I was in Kosovo a guy in my section had an ND he got a 750 $ fine.It was with the C7 it was while clearing the weapon. Then a month or so later our CO came over and had a ND with the C6 and he fired off 5 rounds. It cost him 5000$ . 1000$ per round. So I guess the punishment varies due to...

Armoured, posted to the school in Gagetown. I am a DRAGOON!

That just isn't right. He must of had some big shot lawyer that cost alto of money.It just goes to show how corrupt the system is.

I think that General Hillier must have a plan to employ the reserves. As for not enough Coyotes to go around I have to agree. I am at the school and every course that we support it gets harder and harder to keep the vehicles up and running long enough to finish the course.It all comes down to...

I have a question. When reserves are picked to go on these courses how do you pick the people to go. Because if the courses are hard to get what selection process do the reserves have on picking students. Because once your have that soldier qualified on the vehicle whats to say that they just...

POINT TAKEN! :cdn:

I agree with Al, it really doesn't matter what regt you belong to. The only really pros and cons are there location. LDSH Edmonton, RCD Petawawa, 12 RBC Valcartier. They all go over seas alot. At least everywhere but the school.Alot of my friends in are rebadging to go to a different place in...

Mike, George is right the army will ship you where ever they need the numbers. As for talking to the requiter. They are very knowledgeable, but you also here alot of horror stories. There job is to get numbers. When I joined I was missled and I imagine if you talked to alot of people on this...

You can go Armoured the only thing is if you tranfer in from the reserves the only infantry gual that is any good to you is your basic. If you go armoured , when you do your dp1 in Gagetown after the course is when they decide were you are going. If its a course of 30 and the RCD's need 15 and...

It doesn't seem like Canada really knows what it wants to do with the armoured corps. One minute we are scrapping the tanks then we get a turret upgrade then they are getting mothballed. Then in Gagetown we shipped all but 8 out west now we are hearing rumours that we are getting them back. But...

If for some reason you get a few extra GWAGONS maybe you can send a few down to Gagetown to replace the ones that got wrote off last summer during one of the summer courses that your regt had some soldiers sent down on DG. LOL

No I understand completely were you are coming from Scarlet. I agree with you. But if its going to be your hobby make it your hobby. If its going to be your job make it your job. Then when someone comes up to you on the street and says to you, " so what do you do for a living?" Don't say your in...

Scarlet thats not the point that I was trying to get across. By all means joining the reserves is a great idea to try it out and to see if you like it. The point I was trying to put across was that I don't understand why people choose to make a career out of the reserves. I have had good people...

Just another point I would like to add. I find it funny why all these reservist replly to these type of post. They fail to add the fact that the reason why they chose to pick armoured was that , that was the only armories in there home town. If they really wanted to pick armoured they would sign...

If you want to know my honest answer to why I chose the Armoured Corps. It was the first thing that the requiting office offered me that wasn't infantry or navy (I get sea sick) Then he gave me a line of crap about once you get in the doors or wide open. 12 years later still armoured. If you are...
