    Regular Force Officer career progression versus Reserve CT to Reg Force progress

    I tried to search this topic and found nothing substantial. A friend and I were discussing and we're at ends with what we think may be right. context: I'm a Reg F ROTP student being commissionned in May, he's a RESO 2Lt who plans on doing a CT after 2011 when he will be done his studies. Now...

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    Thanks for all the tips. The blade and hot water seemed to work, only scrapping very lightly. When ever it started to peel I'd add more polish and if it kept dpoing it I'd put the boot down for about an hour to let it dry off, then wipe off the excess and start over. Finally the boots are almost...

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    Sounds like a plan, thanks for the help! I've taken my knife to it and lightly scraped the surface but I seem to keep coming with the same result. I'll write to Logistik and look into it. Thanks again mate!

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    These are brand new straight from Logistik, received yesterday at my door step. Seems a few people on my course last summer had the same issue, it happened to me quickly but I overcame it easily. However this time the whole toe just peels.

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    It seem the issued Oxford shoes have some sort of coating preventing polish to stay on the boot itself. As you polish it starts to roll up the polish and go back to the initial coating of what ever is sprayed on the boot before it was issued. It's almost like when you rub dead skin off your...

    CP Gear Mag Pouch - LOTS of pictures

    I got my MoFocr today, nice piece of kit! After seeing the snap dragon buckles, and searching the forum for more info I'm still wondering a few things. I know Matt has mentionned that with time they will become easier to open when they're ''broken in'', for lack of better term. Unfortunately I...

    COMPONENT TRANSFER - Pay protection

    I didn't want to start a new thread on the topic so please excuse me if anyone's offended by this question... I'm presently an OCdt in the reserves (I haven't completed BMQ), however, I'm now doing a CT to Reg Force going ROTP at Civvy U. From my understanding, after have spoken with some...

    Comparing the Regiments (PPCLI, RCR, and R22eR) and thier bases

    I'd like honest and no BS answers as much as possible please. If a bilingual (quadrilingual infact) female officer was given the opportunity to choose between the 2 units after gradutating from RMC, which would be more suitable and less discriminating. Trade would be infantry, the person in...

    Haha, if you wanna go snooping around feel free to do so. I made that account over 2 years ago. I never claimed to be a paratrooper, if my username was pink banana, does that make me one? I remember now why i always hated this forum, it's nothing but people who get off starting flame wars, if...

    Basic Para 2005

    First off, I'm not shy or ashamed to say I didn't complete the course. Excrement occurs. And again as I stated earlier, we NEVER claimed to be Airborne, and never will. You're not Airborne until you wear white wings IMO. Cherry jumpers are just that, jumpers, parachutist but not paratroopers and...

    Granted, sorry i was quick on the guns, but I didn't mean to aim my comments to you. Thanks for backing us up. As for my comment on the CF deteriorated etc, coming from a family of jumpers trust me I've heard my share of stories through the generations and you can see the difference in the state...

    As for Kyle burrows, I see you're a 3rd year cadet, until you've been on curse, passed or fail aside, you don't know the drive and determination it takes to even get slotted with Cadets. So you have no where to be saying get over yourselves. :threat:

    Basic Para 2005

    Yeah it was Davidson. About yelling Airborne, no he wasn't doing push ups had you read it clearly it says it's a way we greated each other. We don't claim to be Airborne, never did, never will. But the course for a cadet means much more than to most reservists or reg force, they get paid for...

    I was there for a good portion of the course. Never met a better bunch, of well deserving, dedicated, harcore group of guys, and of course our 2 officers! Looking forward to BPara 2006, but my heart is with session 54. POPCORN!!! :P :) ;)
