I was An Air Cadet in the 70's, P/RES and then CIL in the 80's, NOT ONCE did any Cadet I was enrolled with, or taught to shoot in my Squadron, nor worked with at the local Army Corps EVER INJURED by firing a real weapon. This Air rifle Garbage is just that....... There is no real way to teach...

Did I say we should quit the UN?, I must have missed that. Perhaps I need to be a bit more specific. In the older days of the Cadet Program when shooting was shooting whether it was Enfield, Anschutz, or FN there was a lot more interest in Cadets from the public, and a lot more interest in the...

Is disgruntled Former member waiting for a "Discranialremovefromrectalcavityfrom recruitmentcenterpaperpile" a valid response?

Good topic...What does it mean to you to be Canadian? Would you lay down your life for the rest of your Country? ...I would, Many of my ancestors have. Do you support current Military actions? I do, as we have an obligation under The Un to Combat the forces of 9/11 Terrorism( see other threads)I...

Grow a life every one................... Quit the bickering The UN ban on "Child Soldiers" has put a PC twist on the entire cadet program, Army, Air. and Naval. Gone and long forgotten are firing real weapons at unit level, patrolling exercises and such. I for one would like to see a more...

My thoughts, and mine alone, no spamming me please. BC has seen the removal of most of its' former military facilities, and deactivation of its major training base ( Chilliwack), It seems the Feds have no interest in maintaining a military presence in one of the most strategic areas of the...

I totally concur with the ability of the posters to exercise the tight to free speech. All too often in this PC climate we are forced to shut up, and put up. While I may not agree with the observations, and comments of a number of posters, it is within their rights to post those comments.

Read "West" Infanteer, Comox remains as an Airforce base that is under utilized. Sending 2 Hornets there for the summer does not constitute a capability. No Offence intended to the members of the other 2 Squadrons based there, maritime patrol/sub chasing, and SAR capabilities are of prime...

Main problem being, in distribution. Alberta already has the bulk of the Airforce, and Army in the west (No real req for naval forces) Meanwhile our Coasts are left defended by the USA for the most part, with large army/Air, and naval elements in the area. talk about sovereignty, when US...

In response to above: I (last year) looked at the requirements for working with Canada Customs, at that time part of the requirements/potential training required weapons, 2 months later, when I looked again at the program, the weapons had been removed. COME ON Canada!, these are our first line...

Look at the size of Area 51 in Nevada, it doesn't exist either  ::)

Customs officers have for many years asked the Feds for the ability to carry and use weapons, much the same as game wardens have also asked for sidearms, the PC climate in this country wins out every time, and they are disallowed. We won't learn until one dies

If we knew, and told you, there may be disappearances in the night  :blotto:

If  he is even a Canadian Soldier, he certainly is a prime example of who should not be hired, or promoted, or allowed to use any weapon more dangerous than jello

Not one mention of the Classic :cdn: "The Devil's Brigade"  :crybaby: Guess I am the only  :cdn: on this Board  ;)

rereading the previous posts in this thread, I also came up with this suggestion for you too Zensunni, regardless of which trade or unit you are accepted for/posted to it would be a good idea to increase your abilities in French. One thing I have learned is that over time without use, French...

Yes congrats on your passing the first phase, now it is best to start preparing for the day the call comes. work out, and get even fitter you healthy young lad (coming from a slightly messed up old fart ) ;)

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in what is essentially "Hear say", sticking your nose into it might get you noticed in the bad way. In my day erasing of names was a common occurence at this time of year (end of fiscal year) What I see is that your unit has exhausted their training funds, and...

Just see how many current serving Senators live ourside of the country LMAO

Infanteer, there certainly are ways for one to join the US Armed Forces when one is a Canadian. If you are still interested talk with an immigration Lawyer (US) There were,(Vietnam) and I believe still are many Cdn citizens serving with the US Forces. The criteria for a Green card is always...
