    Achat militaire = nouveau leopard ?

    Comme tu en es sans doute conscient, de nombreuses dépenses ont été annoncées récemment par le Ministère de la Défense Nationale.

    Canadian "Support Our Troops" Ribbons, Bracelets, Pins, etc

    In Quebec it's not an issue either... that's why most auto dealers put their own logo on the front plate and make sure that they are bolted such that you won't be able to remove them using common tools - that's without even considering the sticker they usually put at the back of your car (sorry...

    Canadian "Support Our Troops" Ribbons, Bracelets, Pins, etc

    In reply to Frankie's earlier post, here are two very similar versions of his proposed car plate design. In fact the design was not changed a bit - only one of them has a blurry CADPAT background which I thought created more of a contrast with the ribbon. As for me, I think I'll stick my...

    Ca fait bien des questions tout ça... Comme tu te l'ai déjà fait mentionner, débute par rechercher cette information sur ce forum. Tu t'apercevras que plusieurs comme toi ont eu les mêmes questions à un moment ou un autre. D'ailleurs, cette pratique de systématiquement chercher avant de poser...

    Signing Bonus - Engineering Officers

    I apologize in advance for being picky on the words, but was that meant as "it is not offered at this time until we receive official approval later in the year" (which I understand is nothing guaranteed) or was it rather meant as "it is not offered for this fiscal year, better luck for next...

    Signing Bonus - Engineering Officers

    I have an application underway for Reg. Forces Engineer Officer under the DEO entry plan and just realized that the $40k recruitment allowance associated with this trade has disappeared from the CF's recruiting page. The link where this information used to be found is the following: ...

    Movie about Gen (Ret) Romeo Dallaire?

    Of course, he was bound to make that statement. But nevertheless, if this is true, than it's not a matter of whether Dallaire deserves or not to have a movie produced about him. It's about educating the younger (and older) generations about a part of world history, which, although highly...

    Merged Quotes and Sayings Thread; some useful, some junk

    This is a quote I hear far too often to my liking, but for those who don't know it it can be pretty funny: "Is the colour of blood brown? Because if it is, I'm badly wounded!" It's one of those that my grandpa likes to repeat and which he might have picked up in the few years he spent in the...

    Question of the Hour

    Well I have to admit that I didn't know beforehand, but a simple google search revealed it is a piece of the flintlock mechanism. I'm interested in knowing if others around here know the meaning of a 'frizzen' on the top of their heads so I won't be saying anymore about which piece exactly it is...

    Striking resemblance between the CDS and...

    Has anyone ever noticed the striking resemblance between General Rick Hillier and... Lord Flasheart (see attached picture)!? For those who are not acquainted with the person of Lord Flasheart, he is a character played by Rik Mayall in the Blackadder television show. I'm sorry I couldn't find a...

    No more patrols for G-Wagons in Afghanistan?

    When I read the article for the first time, I was also under the impression that this move was based on home politics more than anything else. Now I don't want to start talking too much of politics around here, but this really came as a surprise to me considering how the Harper administration...

    Debates on Army.ca

    It appears I have to clear things up here: Scott: From your message, it is clear that you were taking my reply way too seriously. I am truly honest when I say that I wrote this with a grin on my face and really did not intend to shock or bash anyone. That is one problem with forums: you just...

    Enhanced Reliability Check (ERC) - Merged

    So Kincanucks, what happens if you were abroad because or your parents' jobs (specifically referring to the Department of Foreign Affairs)? It is in fact my case. I came back to Canada sometimes in the summer of 2002 and turned 18 the following October. That means I have been in the country for...

    Debates on Army.ca

    Well exams are mostly done now, so maybe you can re-post in this thread in the coming month to enlighten us as to whether, in your own humble opinion, the fact that it was exam period had any effect on the frequency of new posters making controversial statements without any facts to back them...

    Black Watch not allowed to follow traditional regimental parade

    The Montreal Gazette has also released an article concerning the Blackwatch's decision to take Sherbrooke nonetheless - and the policemen turning a blind eye: http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=d43fddba-14d0-460f-8565-8bd4ee56272b&p=1 I won't comment on the events. It...

    Black Watch not allowed to follow traditional regimental parade

    I'm real sorry about starting a "tempest in a teapot" - but I did specify that due to the limited time until Sunday's march, I did not research the subject in any way before posting about it. That has to count for something... no? Well how about that, coupled with the fact that I'm not from...
