Hey, Trying to find out if you can go from SupRes Army (LFWA) to PRes Navy (Discovery) without any issue? Or can you only reapply PRes as the same environment and trade. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated especially if you have the Refrencing Docs (huge request I know). I...

Are there any legitimate CF unarmed combat instructors on this Forum? If so do you have any unarmed combat handbooks you would recommend? I am looking at purchasing 'Kill or get Killed' by Rex Applegate Thanks, Coors PS if no actual CF Unarmed Combat Instructors any imput from serving/ret  RES...

The US Pararescue Jumpers and the Canadian SAR Techs are reportedly the only search and rescue units to employ para-rescue. Both units are very well respected among their own countrymen/women and internationally. However a major difference between the two units being The Pararescue jumpers...

Is this regiment to be run along simular lines as the 14th Intelligence Company but with a 'Green' ops mandate? Is their existence going to affect the SAS's role? As they would have been one of the  primary sources of SF level strategic intelligence. Thanks, Coors

Does anyone know if the grip test 'machine' they use now (the one I used was linked to a computer) are more difficult than the old one that just had a dial on the side that measured your input? I just did my CFAT and have apparently lost 30kgs of grip strength :o This seems a bit absured as I am...

The ones I know wear the Ships divers badge. I've never heard of them wearing the clearance divers badge, as you say it takes a lot more to get. On the other hand I was told they were getting their own badge because they do the same course as the ships divers but go on to do OJT that the Ships...

100 years of peace keeping??? I knew I slept in but it can't possibly be 2056...can it!!? :o

a number of my close friends have completed MARS training. They all said that VERY few do it in one straight year as it is very stressful and you really don't get any breaks. Most were enginering students as well so they are used to a lot of work etc. I would recommend giving it some serious...

The Mine Ban Treaty has more than enough support including France and the UK. Accusing Canada of undermining US military capability is ludicrous in terms of our support of banning a weapon that have been of questionable strategic use in many recent conflicts (I just wrote a paper on the topic...

Does anyone know what the status is on the proposed Port Inspection Diver badge? I've seen pics of the proposed badge but have not heard any news of whether it is still being considered. Thanks, Coors

My favorite: Probably "The Odd Angry Shot" it is about the Australian Special Air Service in Vietnam, but focuses on the troops more than the combat. Reccomend it to anyone who can find it.

Ghost Wars: The secret history of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10,2001.  By Steve Coll Very interesting so far, I would definitely recommend it.

I've been in the process of transfering for a year now, completed interviews, medical, and just waiting for Nav Res to 'rubber stamp'  approval. Should be done in a couple months  ::) Good enough reason? ;)

Thanks Ex-dragoon, further proof to be very wary of the rumor mill!

really???!!! ::) I thought it was an island of the coast of Atlantis ;D anyways I heard that some PIDs had been sent to support the Ships divers on the CPFs
