I would appreciate the opinion of female forum members regarding this issue. Perhaps Army Vern & Beyond the Now are willing to respond. With respect, Walt

Quote from: Walt on Today at 01:18:16 OK. Retired olive green army guy here. What if the CF/RCN chose these for the gender neutral rank titles: - Shipmate = Ordinary Seaman (i.e. Bloggins (S)) - Able Shipmate = Able Seaman (i.e. Bloggins (AS)) - Leading Shipmate = Leading Seaman (i.e. Bloggins...

OK. Retired olive green army guy here. What if the CF/RCN chose these for the gender neutral rank titles: - Shipmate = Ordinary Seaman (i.e. Bloggins (S)) - Able Shipmate = Able Seaman (i.e. Bloggins (AS)) - Leading Shipmate = Leading Seaman (i.e. Bloggins (LS)) - Master Shipmate = Master...

CC-177 Globemaster III is the official designation, for the aircraft you are referring to, by the RCAF and the Canadian Armed Forces.

To add to BTN's post, I agree. Doug Ford's reputation has been tarred by "the sins of his brother", and perhaps by the premier himself. I was dumbfounded, and actually scared for the future of Ontario when he won the election. That was then, and this now. Within the past few months, during the...

The annual pay for an entry level constable starts at $68,000, plus the added benefit of overtime & special duty pay. Annual pay increases are very generous, and far exceed those within most of the private sector. I guess that greed trumps loyalty and conscience. If found guilty, I hope that...

Wow. An extremely sobering and heartfelt account of the immense sacrifices of our troops in Afghanistan. Thank you for posting.  :cdn:

Hello All, If you have any Canadian Forces Signals related badges & insignia, including Comm Sqn's, I am interested in adding them to my collection. Combat uniform titles, the old work dress squadron/regimental patches, or any other items pertaining to the history of the branch/corps will...

May you rest in peace, Sir. VVV Walt

There is no reason, given the cold weather gear that the CF provides, that under a controlled winter indoctrination exercise, soldiers would experience frostbite. Proper education should have prevented this unnecessary occurrence: 1. Wear loose layered clothing, and the kit provided, 2. Remove...

You are in my thoughts. Thank you to all veterans and those who are serving. Thank you for your losses, your sacrifice, your pain and suffering. Thank you for your service. We remember, and we shall not forget.

Hello All, I witnessed a rare sight yesterday. What I think was a Sea King flew over me while at work, heading south west (perhaps to Petawawa?). Colours were light grey with red/orange on the nose, and a stripe on the tail boom. Can anyone offer insight? Thanks!

Hello All, I'm searching for badges pertaining to the Communication branch of the Canadian Armed Forces, particularly the regiment/squadron badges which were worn on the "Work Dress" uniform. If you have something to offer, please let me know. I'm willing to purchase at a reasonable price...

:salute:Lots of criticism regarding LGen (ret'd) Dallaire from members of this forum. In all fairness to the man, please substantiate your remarks (if you dare). Unless you walked in his shoes, or were in theater with him, or ever worked with him, you have no right to bash him. Additionally, you...
