As for "callouts", I've been 'called out' 3 times in 2 weeks at one point. With a fourth time a month or two after as well. It depends if your unit is on IRU or not, and then how much your Company wants to be prepared for the real thing. Wether you consider that pure c#$% (and yes it did really...

To pretty much say what most the people above said, you won't be losing rank or anything because you already don't have rank. If you haven't started yet it would be better to go now rather than later. You're looking at a minum of 2 years in Pres before you're end up overseas at the rate you're...

Some regiments give out the Balmoral after completion of SQ to wear at the home unit, however, they will/should not be allowed to wear their balmorals while they are on their DP1 Reserve Infantry course. They'll be able to wear it after the graduation parade. Some regiments that have Hackles...

Truly some good news. Made my day, and a good story to bring into work for all those who are still talking about it.

I wonder if this journalist has been over to the pit to see for himself first hand, or how about imbed himself with the Taliban to get the real news? Why doesn't he write an article about the Taliban propoganda where every infidel invader is killed with every bomb they detonate. Seems to me like...

This can be answered quite simply. And the answer is..... A good balance of both. To be stronger in either will leave you short sticked when it comes time to do tasks that require both skills.

North Korea hails 'invincible' army, possible war North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has hailed his troops as "invincible" yesterday as state media warned of a possible military conflict with South Korea amid heightened tensions between the neighbors. Kim expressed confidence in his soldiers'...

NEW.BRUNSWICK (CBC) - The Boyd sisters have been raised singing the national anthem every day, but a New Brunswick school has silenced their morning ritual. These days, the only time Julia Boyd, 11, gets to belt out the anthem's lyrics is at monthly school assemblies, other special occasions or...

I agree with George on this one. However, if you are going to leave the liner in just make sure to take that hot shower with it on (as previously suggested). TorScot, not as big of a deal as you won't be wearing a beret for the rest of your days anyways. Don't just take out the liner to take out...

I'd go with the Firefly. Enough said on that one.

I.M.A.J don't even bother wearing contact lenses on course. It's short but you might as well wear some flexible glasses. You'll be betteroff. Wear the contacts when you get back to your weekend training. It won't hinder you at all since it's only a month of training.

Good Riddens those Rat Bastards (no pun intended)

First, Piper....lol ;D Second I would take the other suggestions first on getting fit in other ways first and save the knee and joint crushing till you actually join. Third, if you are just keen on getting a vest, check out Beaver Surplus near Dundas (or by Yorkdale mall). They may have some...

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20090118/korea_military_090118/20090118?hub=World For anybody interested. SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korea said its army remained on alert Sunday, a day after North Korea threatened military action in response to Seoul's hard-line stance...

If you really want this job then you should wait and not go into something that you won't be happy in. Life is too short, and the time it takes to wait for eye surgery is much less than putting years of training into a trade to turn your thoughts to something you had already wanted in the first...

Anybody who joins a modern army knows that the middle east/ muslim africa is a hotspot waiting to burst(not that is already hasn't). So what they need to do is put a clear statement into the pre-enrolment questionaire clearly stating that they will be required to be active in duties which...

If you end up in meaford expect many times you'll be in the shower with other people on a regular basis. And not to be the one to make your fears worse, but the showers are very very small, 50 guys (to start) in an area of about 12x6 feet  :-* .  So if you are doing a land course in Ontario you...

Ok yeah I just checked out the mls.ca site and it seems they did some changes to it. You can go directly to any Civilian Realtor site like Remax, Royal Lepage etc. and check out some listings in the areas you may be posted. Worst case (and not really a worst case) but you could always get locked...

Hanson, best thing to do is look up on www.mls.ca to see what is available in the area. That is what I did to get an idea, then when I showed up I went to a reputable real estate agent to see what I was eligble for as far as a mortgage. I didn't think I would be able to afford anything on P2...

Let me just say that what job you have been offered is very very important. Other trades are very appreciative of what you will be able to offer and are very very thankful for what you guys do. We always appreciate a good meal instead of an IMP. Wherever you are posted you will be needed and...
