For your information, The archives are in the process of being moved into a new location so you may have to be patient until they can get things sorted out. The new curator is Rob Macdonald and has always been a wealth of knowledge for myself and many other's throughout the Lower Mainland...

W. Van legion was definitely a closed environment the last time I checked them out. With respect to establishing a Legion Branch. It is a very difficult task to accomplish as there is a minimum number of Charter members necessary to bring forward a petition to zone command. Provided an...

At the time of the introduction of the charter, there was an understanding that the NVC was to be considered as "a living document" subject to changes as they became evident. The Legion, the ANAF, the WarAmps, and all other stakeholder's (including the CF services) got sold a big ass bridge...

I never take offence at constructive criticism... I do however take offence at agendas that are being pursued by individuals that are not conducive to an orderly resolution of this NVC mess. @ FraserDW, read the minutes of the various meetings during the run-up to the Charter and you will...

If I had a vote it would go to Armyvern for CDS. Thank you for the level-headed posting on the behalf of a civvy who supports both the RCL and the troops (both men and women) who have served us so well in times of war and peace, overseas or not. please, enough with the RCL witch hunts. If...

My branch will gladly allocate some of our funds so that you may be educated in the use of search engines, ideally you will then learn that the Royal Canadian Legion is a non-profit organization that is wholly supported by membership subscriptions and donations from the public at large. The...

With all due respect to the Milnet community, I do not wish to spark some variation on this age old pissing match but when it comes to ther RCL, I stand fast as a staunch proponent of their activities (be they nation-wide or community based). @ Mr. O'Leary The RCL has a policy which states...

With all due respect Mr. O'Leary, I do not get the impression that this individual is tying to shill the Legion magazine. Seeing that Legon magazine is freely available on the internet with no subscription, I don't see where the conflict lies. The commment only questioned their (legion...

Loud and clear Mr. Bobbitt. On a side note, I look forward to ensuring my subscription to this site and support of your good work. For far too long I have ghosted and posted without showing my full support for your activities. If anyone from Ruxted is reading, could they confirm as to whether...

Although my profile may appear to be limited, with minimal sleuthing it would be very easy to ascertain my identity. Any young person involved with the RCL is going to be extremely easy to spot nowadays (especially in Vancouver). I also feel it should be noted that there are no indiscrepancies...

To satisfy your query Mr. Campbell. I read every days worth of releases from SOMNIA provided by the CF college and try to keep abreast with issues of interest to the CF in general. My query with respect  to the RUXTED group is NOT as you assert provided by the disclaimer appended to all Ruxted...

To begin with, I need some clarification as to the affiliation of the Ruxted group to this site. Now let's get started. To begin with, the objection is to the sudden change in Federal policy with respect to Afghanistan. The admittedly prior leaders had indicated that, in tandem with the...

The whole idea of a "port" is blown out of proportion. The Economic Development officer for Iqaluit has proposed the idea of developing a Single-berth port with a 10 M draft. The idea put forward is to radically improve ship to shore fuel and cargo transfer, meaning more can be done, faster...

The above data is slightly misleading as it refers to the upswing in the  American economy at a time when Canada was already well on its' way in terms of fiscal performance. I repeat, this is American data, not Canadian statistics; besides the Liberals were quite responsive (during their tenure)...

Wisecracks aside... as can only be expected from uninformed individuals. It doesn't seem like there would be much, in terms of personnel strength, that would be necessary to maintain a staff level if there is to be a deep water berth at Iqaluit. If you read the proposal from the economic...

Hey 3rd'y, I stated in an earlier post that I fully supported the requirement of both official languages, but only if it didn't impede operational requirements. It seems to me in a 8-20 plus year career that an officer might have enough time  to learn a second language.Off the top of my...

Go: you reference to writing provocatively explains the inflammatory remarks about French but such an idea would never pass muster with any Fed. The language requirement should be fully enforced but it should be noted that any operational requirements for additional language skills be...

Good piece of work. I do have one small objection though. The assertion that Quebecois french is unique when compared with its' mother tongue is a bit misleading. Quebec French and French french are not that dissimilar(except for swear words and slang). The means to effectively command in...

Mr Majoor, Your comments were entirely uncalled for and I demand a retraction of your negative statement directed against me. If you wish to criticize my remarks you are welcome to do so provided you at least exercise a nominal amount of respect for your counterparts.There is no evidence which...

I got a PM about this thread today, gave it re-read and feel I should comment on Geo's comment WRT castoff CF uniform. Wherever possible, avoid purchasing any used/surplus CF kit. As stated you will get noticed as well as realize the relatively inferior condition of the fabric. Unless it is in...
