Another thread to unravel... I recall a couple of troops from Hastings & P(something?) Reg't, wearing a red beret as part of their "in garrison" dress. Do they still do this?

Dear dumb*** I believe the response you are asking for is NO. As I recall under the CF's rules & regs there would be no way for the said unfortunate MCpl to have this matter persued. Having said that there is two other ways to respond: 1. Civvie street + assault + Civvie charges = up to 2...

Does anyone know; at what point does the applicant becomes subject to the QR & O's?

A note abut saluting with Left hand. QR&O's (QR&R'S can't remember ?) may say something regarding saluting with left however in 15 years I never once came across a reference with exception of saluting with the rifle. Funny story. Brit Brigadier jacked up one of my troops in Garrison for not...

As in stuff it's arse with formaldehyde? I believe the Imp's did that for me.

My goal and my wife's differ slightly. I'd appreciate a nice Photon Torpedo launch. She on the other hand, is preparing several garbage bags. Not that I mind so much, at some point I'll be dead and won't care. Firing point, this is the Butts...

Both above links very funny.

I spent some time in the U.S.with an Air national guard unit, and as a Canadian WO they came up with a classification of E8 for me. This was I'm told based on the position not title, and equated via Coast Guard ranks. As an Infantry man at an air force base, it did not suprise me they had to...

Are any of you people the same guys that had a starship bridge built in thir garage up in Pet? 7 of 9 Yum factor 10. (I can't believe I wrote that) Golf rules.

Does anyone recall Ham Omelet? It was very good for reinforcing OHP on trenches. Canadian Imp's evolved well from 80's, and even the worst one better than any MRE the Yanks put out. I once worked with the British army ate ate fried everything in garrison, and  tinned surprises (circa 1950) in...

Holey crap! If they're telling us about this, just think about what they aren't. Wasn't Scotty in 11th Field Battery RCA?
