http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2013/06/14/f-sunday-edition-government-history.html Was reading through cbc.ca (something I try to not do a regular basis anymore as it grates on me), but I found this article interesting as I did not know the Federal Government was doing a review of Canadian...

Background: Bought a 2002 R-vision Trail-Lite Bantam 19ft Hybrid trailer this past Fall for the family to go camping in.  When I bought it I knew it had some issues and would need some repairs in the Spring.  Seeing as how I was able to pick it up for about $2,500 below what the trailer has been...

My wife and I just bought a trailer this weekend, and are thinking about renting it out every now and then.  So I was wondering if on army.ca there would be a place to post rental/lending of equipment etc. I figure since this is a pretty large community maybe there was the opportunity for...

Recently I was talking with some of the guys that were in my Platoon overseas.  As we talked more and more I found that some of them were struggling since returning home.  I asked if they had sought help or at least looked into what services could be provided for them, or if I could do it for...

Hey mods, I know the chat may not get used very much, but I noticed the other day that I don't have access to the subscribers only part of the chat room. Thanks.

Wondering if anyone knows a good website for patches.  I've looked on dstactical but I'm specifically trying to find Canadian Military morale style patches for such things as airborne, remembrance, etc.  I have seen some sites where it's possible to custom order patches, but most of them are in...

Hey guys, was wondering if it was possible to have a Grey and Simcoe Forester avatar for the profile?  I attached one as a possible option, thanks.

So what can I expect on a basic para?  Any info is appreciated. Just kidding guys!  Don't hit me *cringes* So I'll explain why I put this in the homefront section. After 7 years of begging and wishing for a basic para I have finally been placed on a course.  It starts Monday running from 23...

I know that a CF pension is able to be transferred to the RCMP, but I was recently told by a friend that the OPP was now allowing CF members to transfer their pensionable time as well.  I searched the OPP website but didn't find any info regarding this, does anyone have any info on this being a...

If you're in the Owen Sound area I suggest stopping in and checking out the museum.  They have a "Lost Regiments of Grey County exhibit" ongoing until 09 May 12, so for any history buffs it's a good step into the past. http://www.greyroots.com/exhibitions/upcoming-exhibits/?I=880

Okay, I did do a search through the forums and I know the discussion of eligibility for both the SWASM, GCS and GSM has been heavily discussed.  I looked through the 2011 CANFORGENS and also tried to google the SWASM but did not find the answers I was searching for. Basically I was talking with...

I was tempted to hijack medic269's thread about Halo 3 but didn't think it would be fair. Anyone ever played this?  I love it.  Granted I've been addicted to video games since getting my first PC in '97, but I really like this game.  It's a bit boring sometimes if you play by yourself, because...

It's about time. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2006/07/27/security.html I remember when I first moved to Ottawa in '02 and you could drive underneath NDHQ between the North and South towers.  They eventually blocked that off and had a guardhouse with a car as a gate to block access.  I...

We have 11 personnel deploying to Afghanistan very shortly.  The first group departs in a little less than a weeks time.  Most are with the 1RCR battle group, but at least one is with CIMIC.  This is the largest single group from my unit that we have deployed in a very long time for overseas...

Had a question on how hard it is for a Reserve Infantry Officer to get onto the Reg. Force Phase 4 course?  I have all Reg Force quals, right from IAP and I'm going to be completing Phase 3 this summer.  Granted, it's not for sure that I'll pass the course, but I wanted to know for my own...

Out of curiosity, come up within the next 1-2 years I would like to get some extra courses under my belt.   I know the basic para is available, but how often are officers on it?   I suppose numbers are not available because it's all in what unit bids on those spots for it's soldiers. Also...
