Nice Post,  I enjoyed reading it enough to offer that the "stories" aka historical tributes be under it's own title as they dont really fit under the original post title.

Wow, RIP, I have not got the "official" word yet but have worked under the man ( as in on parade and his pace stick pointing up my nose, or getting one of his welcome to the RCR rants that are famous..... or infamous) he was, like him or not, a RCR legend who I would not be surprised would find...

Their "educational material " would be very interesting not to mention funny.  I think it would rank right up there with the Flat Earth Society handbook

Good point I can also tell for myself and more often then not when someone near me has a stoppage.  It took me a while but I got out of the habbit of looking at the bolt if it is in a normal posn ( i.e fully or partially forward and just needs a tap rack)  I can also automatically change mags...

Ok, I just finnished reading up on this and will add my 2cents worth First, -I am a WO who joined the Reg in 88, prior to that I had 4 years Reserve time that started in 84 -I learned mil wpns on the C1/2, SMG, in BSL I first came on the C7 family and the C9 -I have spent 8 summers shooting...

I gave an oath as a young pup, to the queen.  Sure you could argue that I was too young to really understand.  However it was an oath and I will abide by it since the understanding at the time was my service to Canada and it's head of state were mutually inclusive ( at the time even more so then...

I know he is just doing his job but I would really like to argue with the defence lawyer

Just finnished a Mufti parade and am about to head over for the Hockey game,  silly week at it's finest

I am just enjoying the changes as they settle in to what will be the final newest version...... Errr Mike is there ever going to be a final version ( not that I mind.)  I am noting that my work computer still does not do spell check, ( will conifirm with this post.)  *edit, to note that the...

Trust me your not the only parent who has every wished this.  However alot of kids will send mixed signals when talking to thier parents. Also the time there goes fast and what may have been bothering him one day may not seem so bad the next.  (that is not a huge percentage though)  Best of luck...

Thank you for asking, you just made my looong night.  ( If i had the emoticon buttons on my work computer I would be going nuts with them).  You make me wish I was Crse WO on a BMQ again. Ok being seriouse again, good luck with the process and may your eyes be opened to just what we can and do...

It is not a clerical error and those forms do slowly change with the times.  I stand by my post.  Further I just went through another Security level clearance and now had to deal with trying to drag up my deceased father in laws address.  I didnt have it nor did my wife.  ergo I put in the...

It means to me that this is a slow news day, the numbers we are talking about are minimal, it can be argued that it is our responsibility to perform that service and in the end it will also help protect us.  But then again it is late I am still at work and am not reading too much into the...

I think I know some of the plus and minus people you are refering to....... Yet that type of persona tends to be cyclical in nature for a large percentage of the minuses.  ( stars tend to always shine thank God)  Sometimes it just takes the right personality mix to bring out the best in all, and...

Fill in what you can, some of your refferances can be people who you may not think know you that well.  But as long as you ask them most dont mind being a refferance.  I have personally done it for a few soldiers who I have known or who worked for me.  The questions asked about them are pretty...

Nice to know and will keep that in mind for those earlier in their careers who leave after initial engagements.  Personally though when I get out it will be no more Regs for me.  Reserves maybe. 

sive  (ties into the last one)

I would argue that you most certainly would, especially as it is the navy that looks to be fielding it first and they have a tendancy or preferance to engage targets as far away as possible.  Even with high speed computers doing the computing for trajectory and a reliable weather pattern report...

Warm and Squishy,,,,,, thanks here I sit when I should be home with my wife......... Thanks for the interesting read to all involved.  Points were made on all sides, and another successfull dis-cussin ( not a typo) is done
