Now when I was in, I always remember hearing the old adage that "We need to bring back the old Naval Drill and do away with this Army up 6 down 6 garbage". Now from my understanding at some point between 68-71 with Unification having come to pass, the old drill and ceremonial of the old services...

However, unlike in the United States whereby most states(with the exception of certain Blue States, however that's another point of debate entirely) will issue you a Concealed Carry License following taking the class(which most reputable gun stores will offer), unless you're a felon or a...

I really do believe that it's time that firearms owners and the firearms lobbies in Canada finally stand up, and tell the government that enough is enough, and that the Registry and Canada's restrictive and draconian firearms laws must go. A Canada with open carry, and an entrenched right to...

Personally, I don't think that this is the right time for "The Women in Combat Debate" as right now we're still actively engaged global operations and at home we're faced with downsizing and cutbacks. Once we hit a point of equilibrium, then perhaps the DOD can begin a sensible and well studied...

Disclaimer: The following stories were passed on to me when I was fairly young, so my memory of the details may not be accurate, however I have made every attempt to retell them, based on my memory of the tales imparted to me. When I was a young man, on occasion I remember being left at the...

My guess would be is that the poster was originally intended to be shocking in its content to draw attention to the cause at hand, however like most "shock value" advertising it seems to rather than draw attention to an issue,product etc. instead draw the ire of the local community. Now the use...

Well you're close, however what will probably happen is that an article will appear in the Army Times that we're getting a new sidearm. There will be lots of meetings, articles on AKO, and briefings from Plt. Sgt's and eventually the 1st Sgt. will give speech on how we're going to be getting a...

Buffalo Soldiers is probably one of the best depictions of the sheer boredom of being PCS'ed to West Germany during the 80's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLDMyyMZIg

One of the best films on the subject of the Soviet War in Afghanistan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVB9Xz2DyME

Well from the most recent piece of PNN, it's being circulated that the "replacement" uniforms will be replaced within 2-3 years of their introduction by a pixel pattern similar to BDU for Temperate regions and DCU for Arid regions.

This is definitely a brilliant idea, and it's great to see the MP's finally getting back to being provosts and not simply filling gate guard positions and filling in for the infantry. I'm not sure what the CF's LE branch is doing these days, but for us down here it's a dramatic change, from...

This comes from the now defunct "Regiments.org": 1862.01.31 5th Battalion Volunteer Militia Rifles, Canada formed with HQ and six coys at Montreal by regimentation of independent Vol. Militia Rifle Coys No. 1 Company, raised 22 Jan. 1862 No. 2 Company, raised 22 Jan. 1862; disbanded 1865...

Well that's at least that's a year....now you don't happen to know if these will be free replacements or will there be lines stretching down the block outside clothing and sales waiting to replace old ACU?

ACU is absolutely worthless, unless you intend to hide in a gravel pit, or by the side of a service road, though fortunately we are slowly getting a new pattern...(which is available at some PX's and Post Tactical Stores) however it's only to be worn while deployed....and from what we've been...

I don't understand why Canadians tolerate draconian and restrictive gun laws. I can personally say, that having lived in states where CCDW and the Castle Doctrine were law of the land, I've never felt insecure, and never once have I ever flinched when seeing someone carrying openly(whether it be...

If you have the fortitude and courage to enlist, then you are a hero. A full bird colonel once told me that, those who show the desire to serve, regardless of their motivation are the true heroes.

At the moment anything can be better than the current PRT program...but we'll wait to see if it's truly any good. Personally, I still favor moving over to gym pt(most Warrants, Officers and Senior NCO's are already permitted to it).

Thanks for the informative article Haletown.

Our local Texahoma PBS station recently had on a documentary on tunneling during the First World War. The documentary primarily focused on the British Army and more specifically the Royal Engineers, however there was also mention of Canadian efforts in tunneling during the war. According to the...

Well aside from changing the text, the key point is that the applicant must got through MEPS...but moreover since he isn't either a US National or a Green Card holder, there's no chance for him to apply at all.
