    The Politics of Yellow Ribbons - MERGED

    I guess I've been lucky enough to get professors who aren't anti-military. Many of the ones I have had are anti-war, but support the military. Or at least that's the impression I got. It really depends on the individual.

    The Politics of Yellow Ribbons - MERGED

    Religion in the Canadian Forces & in Canadian Society

    I did not mean to single out Islam, as was just using it as an example (hence my 'for example' comment). It could apply to any religion. I understand the utility of complying with local customs on an operational tour, out of respect for their beliefs. However, I do not believe that it is...

    Religion in the Canadian Forces & in Canadian Society

    You understand incorrectly. The Court Martial Appeal Court ruled that the order was unlawful (and ipso facto unreasonable). My second point. How would a Christian feel if he/she was forced to observe (for example) Islamic customs and practices? The CF should not force people to observe one...

    Religion in the Canadian Forces & in Canadian Society

    Wasn't this issue discussed and the topic locked long ago? Can we really avoid the direction the discussion took last time? Please, go on. This could be entertaining. [edited for spelling]

    New Component Transfer Programme - Reserve Combat Arms

    If I recall correctly, this applies to reservists who have served in Kandahar. When they transfer to the reg force, they get to keep the rank and IPC they had during their deployment. I'll be able to get more info tonight, and I'll post it if no one beats me to it. For those with DIN access...

    On exercise with the reserves

    Yeah, there was sand everywhere. And I do mean everywhere.  :'( It played havoc with the C9s. This was during that period when the ammo boxes wouldn't stay on the guns (http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/40224.0.html). The ammo ended up getting quite dirty and caused many stoppages.

It is common for diseases to spread more rapidly in these conditions, thus increasing the risk of those in them. An example is that the spread of the Spanish Flu (1918-1919) was hastened by the mass concentration...

    Another case of issued kit on E-Bay?

    When is there NOT issued kit on ebay? Everytime I look, I see something that appears to have been issued, and isn't likely to be surplus.
