TV Feel free to ask, we weren't allowed to question it, same goes with the ND policy.... EDIT: Spelling

All As of now recruits and Officer Cadets WILL be allowed to have access to their personal electronics (Cell phone, Laptop, IPod etc etc) for the entire course. no longer will they be taken for the first 4 weeks of training and then accessed only on weekends after the 4 week in-doc. Now all...

Swing Precept was once one of my recruits he would hear me utter that saying daily, usually while passing the Ocdts on BMOQ but occasionally aimed at him.

At least the NDP will have some one with some common sense and a head grounded in the real world....  ;) I would agree that I stood for a good thing and a good principal but I never did good myself, Though I stood in support of the good works being done... Really it is a muddy philosophical...

I never said good wasn't being done in Afghanistan, simply I had never done any or had the time to do any in my deployments, and that those on the direct combat end of the deployment are not doing good by my mind set.

I'm with TV on this In the 12 years I have been in the CF I have never done a "good" thing. I have however sought out and removed "evil" from the world with extreme prejudice. I have never built a school (tho I did help remove one being used as an C&C node) I have never handed out food, water...

Craisome Bring your Laptop and stick no one should be telling you not to. That being said currently the policy at CFLRS is you will not have access to your personal electronics at all for the first 4 weeks of training. After that when the "Indoc" period is over you will on weekends only have...

SKT, Small point the poster of the that little tidbit wasn't the OP. Still you have a point about his attitude... As for him... It is far far from hazing what it is; is solid advice based on experience teaching flying to pilot candidates of the RCAF. If you told me you wanted to be in the...

PM me Jim

Very much so Jim, there is a spike of things happening but I am sure you're aware

Girlfriend  >:D

Micheal Yup I'm tracking it seems loose file resembled the Ack Ack rounds and it went from common slag to an official term over the years.

Thank you Mr O'Leary

MM I was pretty sure it was taken from the Air Force and the Ack Ack Formation like you said above, likely because it resembled it or had a similar function. I was hoping for a solid answer though from some of the history buffs around these parts.

I should have been clear my apologies Ack Ack in terms of Infantry is a formation used while patrolling. I am wondering where that term came from when applied to the ground formation. I was already aware that Ack meant acknowledge and Ack Ack was short for Anti Aircraft fire. Thank you for...

Wondering if anyone here knows where the term for Ack Ack came from? A recruit asked an Instructor and he had no clue he asked me and I vaguely remembered something about it being taken from a fighter formation of similar pattern but I'm not 100% either so I thought to ask here. Anyone know...

Tess More of a little jab really...  ;)

Excellent  ;D Always gotta check these things

And is the Sgt who originally designed these shirts aware that you have taken his idea and posted it here?

If this is true, the Nuke boats would be a huge boon to the CF as a whole. There is a projection of power with nuke subs "we are out there and we are watching...". It adds a huge bonus to being able to put a flotilla to sea for international missions. If Canada goes with the new Frigates and a...
