AKA Humint: Please don't confine the recruiting drive to the immediate Hamilton, Burlington, and Stoney Creek areas. There are plenty of fine, eager young people in other areas of Ontario as well. I believe that some current Argyll members travel from outlying areas such as St. Mary's, Barrie...

Despite the efforts of the CFLC, its very much any individual HR level policy relative to military training. Every situation is different. When I decided to rejoin the CF Reserve one of the first people I spoke with was my facility HR manager. Since my firm had no formal HR policy, one was...

Well said Mr. Allen. It's about more than just a simple economic analogy.  These small, but ruthless group of ba$tards won't stop until they get a chance to make their mark and offer themselves up to martyrdom.  If we fail to sort then out now, then we are in for long and continued existence...

The best thing you could do for yourself, your buds and the CF is to be good shape when taking your physical test. These are minimum standards. It‘s not enough to just meet the minimum standards. Work hard prior to taking the test. Things to focus on are: pushups, sit-ups, chin ups, grip...

S_Baker; I don‘t know of any county in the province of Ontario, Canada by that name. There is however a town, just minutes from Hamilton, Ontario, nestled below the Niagara Escarpment by this name. Its character has changed from small, rural town of the 1970‘s to affluent bedroom community...

Humit: Missed the O grp. Storm stayed in "Stalingrad" last night. Any idea of timings and tasks? Are we doing "meet & greet" (grease)? OPFOR, Assault etc... or this way to the Mess, Sir!

Humint: There were 6 attacks last night. The EN FOR always seems to have a knack at "greasing" the officers first, despite the fact that we placed ourselves in the various det‘s. Did you happen to catch the pile of bodies in the last room? At least eight. I was the last man thru and just barely...

Humint: I went to school in Alabama. University of Alabama in Huntsville - 1980. Back then the Confederate Battle flag was still quite popular. Back of pickup trucks, flying solo on private property next to the stars and stripes, etc ...The University did not tolerate any display of this flag...

Humint; No plans to return to what you refer to as "civilization". I do miss the choice of dining experiences, however nothing can beat a choice piece of aged venison or moose roast - Bush Meat. My freezer has all manor of fresh game. Stocked up on trout and salmon. All out my back door. Missed...

Let‘s quite the bragging troops. The Argyll mystic is in danger of being compromised. Don‘t want to give away all our hard won secrets, especially with the ladys! Albainn - Chanada Gu Brath!

When you admit to the MO or Physicians Assistant that you suffer from asthma your entire application process will come to a screeching halt. You will be required to take what‘s called a "methacholine" challenge test. This test requires that you stop taking any and all asthma med‘s for one month...
