I have already factored in the loss of life into the total cost of deployments. Obviously, no dollar value can ever be placed on what their contributions were, which is why operations such as Afghanistan are so costly in the end. This is one of the points I do make in my paper, than when...

Excellent, that article had reference links to the DND site with the same figures. Thanks a lot!

I will be, this by no means a negative report... My paper is on the short comings of the defence spending.... But yeah, it would really be great if someone knew where to find these figures, even if it's Bosnia, or Haiti. I just need some official source showing how much an operation costs.

I am writing a paper for school, and I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find official figures of what it has cost Canada to be in Afghanistan? Specifically I am looking for the ISAF mission cost, but if older ones from when we initally went into Afghanistan I'll take those.. I'm not...

I bought a Casio digital one with 24 hr and 12 hr on the same face! It's awesome, no math involved :) It was only 20 bucks too at Wal Mart.

I think this is refering to when you have an application submitted and have a question or want to inquire on its status... so I'm assuming he has already walked into the office.

In Halifax I never received a phone call back. I just had to keep calling until I actually got someone.

The Price is Right frequently has specials where all the contestents are service members, all decked out in DEU and all.

That's different :)

I hate when I see people playing paintball in any sort of camo.. and especially cadpat now that I'm in the military. To wear it when you're not supposed to is one thing, but wearing it playing paintball? That pisses me off. It could be the fact that I only play tournament paintball anyways and I...

From the rumors I have heard, and this is just people talking... but anyways, the story I heard goes like this: Apparently while looking for a new uniform they had the intention to develop one for all environments. They had several potentials in trials, the ACU included and one called Multicam...

The new uniform is called the ACU (Army Combat Uniform? I forget the A, but I know the last two are combat uniform). Anyways it obviously is a pixelated design similar to CADPAT/MARPAT. The new ACU is meant to act as one single uniform for temperate woodland, and arid region rather than having...

That's exactly it, thanks... I wonder why they were still flying them at Gagetown? They were on the helipad next to some Griffons in the show, and I don't believe it was filmed anymore than 1 year ago.

I was watching Truth, Duty, Valour and it was on the Tac Helicopter units.. Anywhays, I saw a helicopter smaller than the Griffon with the same paint scheme that they were flying. It looked more like a recce helicopter but it had mounts on the side that looked like you could put missles of some...

Not to derail, but we got a payraise? What, who, when, where, how much?!

We have a Commisionaire in front of our garrison. He has a three legged cat named Snowball too.

I'm in the process of filling out my application for level III and where it says neighbourhood reference, does it HAVE to be someone on your street? Because I live by apartment buildings and in my whole 19 years of living there never knew anyone really well, and if I did they moved within...

Yeah, that's the only time I ever wore my uniform while not being paid was to get into the dockyard while the strike was on. I had to pick up some kit from the clothing store and when I made my appointment they suggested I wear my uniform as the strikers weren't letting people in civvies in or...

I am in the PRes in Halifax which is fairly used to a military presense thanks to the Navy, Airforce, and Army (Dockyard, Shearwater, Amouries, etc, respectively). Anyways, it was always made clear to me that you DO NOT wear your uniform unless you are being paid to do so. With the exceptions...

I'd talk to you, but I am clueless as to the legality of me giving an interview. I know on civvie street at my old job, this would be a big no no. Any more enlightened members care to share the rules regarding this?
