My old Sgt in Ottawa told me that the Airman's Club in New York city, allows CF to stay there. They give us the same cheap rates as our US Military counterparts. They give tickets to free shows and attractions in New York City. As well as a list of all the local places that give service members...

Currently 1 SVC BN - Origionally The Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. Was with GGFG (Governor General Foot Guards) - Origionally the Civil Service Rifle Regt., who helped kick Louis Riel's butt in the North West Rebellion (1868)- Affiliated with the Cold Stream Guards. Cheers  :mg:

MSE_OP18, Thanks for the correction....but I was just trying to explain that there is a reason for the weapon racks in the vehs. Cheers  :mg:

Well said MSE_OP18!! Carey,     The situation will dictate how readily available your weapon is. For instance you would use the weapons' racks while moving on civilian roads here in Canada during an administrative road move.(my understanding is that it is very intimidating to Cdn Citizens, if...

Always remember it could always be worse.....it could be me! But yeah it does get pretty cold there in Feb, as soon as you pass the gate the weather does change. I have witnessed it first hand last spring....I was on my way to pick up pers from 1 FD AMB it was beautiful sunny weather all the way...

MSE_OP18, The trg that 1 SVC BN is implementing, is basically just the ground work for "action on drills". We both know that for 1: each theatre is different, and 2: you can't always use the same tactics in every theatre. Do you remember the "actions on drills" in Borden? (BEEP BEEP) 1 SVC BN is...

MCG, I think that it was idiotic to change the name and rank system of the RCAF...I for one would like to see it returned to the way it was....Yes even though my element is land. :mg:

X Royal We shouldn't do both...Do NOT omit it from Christmas Dinners and continue to toast the Queen. We should keep it, it is part of who we are as an institution. I swore allegiance to the Crown and my Country. :mg:

I agree Usul!! :mg:

Just want to see where our loyalties are.....I personally think that we shouldn't. :mg:

Any changes in training? Yes 1 Svc Bn has and is currently perfecting actions on drills. We are in the midst of changing the doctrine on how we Trucker's do business. We have implemented the "Gun Truck" a HLVW with a min of 1 x C-6 (mounted on a base in the center of the box) 4 x C-9's and 3 x...

Quick question regarding each respective unit's work week. Which units out there have Sport morning or afternoon? 1 SVC BN usually has a sports afternoon. But only when pre and post ex drills have been completed. Cheers :mg:

1 SVC BN forms up at 0730 hrs, before PT. But I tend to be here at 0710 hrs. We do PT till 0830-0900 hrs and return to the BN lines 1 hr after PT is finished. My Coy's OC's Sop's are that nobody can leave before 1200 hrs or before 1600 hrs Mon-Fri. Oh and when they say that we are being stood...

Thaedes....Always remember that training is based on building blocks. As your career progresses you will find out what works and what doesn't...But that time will come. Always use what is taught to you as a foundation and build up from there, but don't think that every idea will work....I've had...

Ex-Dragoon...Ref that quote. I think Gen(R) MacKenzie (CF) said the same thing. Either just before or after retiring, I can't remember for sure. Can anybody confirm this for me as well pls. Cheers :mg:

If you can get your hands on an extra helmet scrim netting and burlap (rolls are about 3" wide) they come in OD, brown and black. Applying these strips are good because they tend to fray and at break up the Cadpat which adds texture to it. Unfortunately I have to remake mine because somebody...

Straight from MSE Safety, dvr wheeled crses are NOT part of any SQ crse. Respective units train their own pers with Iltis, LSVW and MLVW. There are exceptions to every rule....I was also info'ed that if some pers are in holding pattern on PAT Pl they may receive certain veh according to job...

Hey all I'm a trucker (MSE Op 935) with 1 SVC BN. I'll go talk to MSE Safety to verify the info on the dvr portion of the SQ crse. Give me a couple of days (Bn's last week before block lve) Cheers :mg:

RorerQuaalude - You can't blame the younger generation for not understanding what we do. Both Worlds Wars, Korea, and Vietnam are almost forgotten by the civilian populous. Parents are not taking what I believe is the responsibility to teach their children what price we as soldiers have to pay...
