AHA! See, but that won't work for you! Because your a women and inherently complicated by nature and far more difficult to please! You cannot simply switch, even as much as you'd like too!  :dontpanic: ;D

Which they didn't at all on this ex. So no worries there! Like I stated above, we did Urban Patrolling, VCP's, Gate Duty, Cordon and Search's and a few other things here and there... Overall, apparently the section I was with, and 1 other section got the most action/rotation out of the whole...

Although I agree a weekend is NOT long enough, it's what we have to work with. So we make the most of it we can. I had down time for about 7 hours the whole weekend while the ex was still "on". And I loved it all. But for what we had, it was a fantastic ex to say the least, better than usual...

Hello folks, I just came back from 31 Bde training ex located in Hamilton this past weekend, I'm sure there are people who are on this site who were there. I'd like to get some input from others who were there or participated from any level and see what you gained from it. For me personally...

Absolutely perfect and brilliant!!! Para my man... That is almost EXACTLY what I try to explain to women but you just put it in better terms, and I almost fell off my chair when you put in what I call the three "H's".... I've been saying for years to my women I'm very simple... I'm always one...

Consider it an extra early "Christmass" surprise! That's how I feld when I recieved my kit, was a blessing!!! No longer did I have to wear dirty greasy civvy street clothes around the armouries!  :dontpanic: Just kidding, but you'll have it very shortly, and be ready to put it on, right then...

:rage: Go figure, I'll be so close to you guys yet so far apart! There is a Brigade Ex the weekend of the 25th! Drink one for me boys, I'd love to have been there! I also suggest another meet before Christmass! :)

Meh, it was okay.... I like this one better though...  ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le2WWQxqgl8 Cheers, ENJOY!

Specifically ask them WHERE your file is, what's being done with it. Like, is it awaiting medical approval in Borden? Iss it stuck in NDHQ somewhere? Are you 'merit listed'... Basically find out from them exactly what's going on with it. And that way maybe you can find out where the snag is...

Quite a few from many Reserve units are over there really. It is several hundred on each TF, there are about 6 people from my unit, the Lincoln and Welland Regiment, that are either already over there doing thier part... One of them came back on holidays last week and gave us a presentation on...

I am seeing what you folks are saying about making a deployment/buildup of troops in SK, but I really don't think that would be a good move at this point because what happens every time the USA puts some boots on the ground in any significant numbers anywhere on the map? - Battle. If the US was...

OOohh... Now that's just frightening... So really there is not much to cover your sorry half cooked a$$ regardless from any radiation eh? ... I thought they said that suit would hold up for like 12-24 hours depending on the level of radiation. That thoroughly upsets me!... So really the bunny...

Ahhhh crap! I wish I could make it... 4 hour drive from me which I would do but I'm going to Kingston the LAST weekend of the month!!!!! .... I don't suppose everyone might want to switch it no? Might give more people notice and more people could come right Mich?  :-\ Well anyway, I hope you...

SO many people from my unit would be far too happy to be 'activated' and sent on work-up training to go on a roto! But I really do think that would be a political nuclear bomb for the current government in power and the CDS would probably be made the scape-goat... But in anycase, I think this...

The course officer on my BMQ wore his stealth suit in the gas hut and it worked just fine for him. He had it all done up and he didn't suffer any of the effects... Makes me wonder if one day we'll get something like a stealth suit for NBC warfare enstead of the evil dreaded bunny suit! Lol...

Well, I'll consider Mirage a worste case scenario and even then, that means I'm doing my part to help out so I'll go where they send me if that's the case. But with the tiny bit of info we do have, if I did get chosen to specifically be one of these '8' it is to Afghanistan and basically to...

I don't want to post specific dates (OPSEC?), but I just put my name in for a VERY SHORT notice deployment to Afghanistan (like, short notice as in our unit was notified TONIGHT and if you wanted in you said so tonight and they send off your name for tomorrow for review!!!)... and just wondering...

Well, 6 guys from my unit ARE doing workup training right now to be deployed I think for Jan 07... Just put your name in and say you want to go on tour and you'll probably be going in not too far off a time! Goodluck

Also, the Prime Minister of Canada (to me, FYI) is suppose to be the embodiment of the Canadian people, he is who we chose by majority to lead us and be our representation to the world at large... Your old school mentality of "Oh we don't need a pat on the back, suck it up and soldier on!" may...

Ahhh... VERY good point indeed about BVR... I wonder if the US Forces comms systems will ever incorporate well enough so that it will easily extracted if a bogey at 50 miles out is friendly or not by simple matter of communication with AWACS etc... ? We all know that is how it's suppose to...
