Hey all, So i've recently been pointed this way, to apply for this when I compete, BUT looking deeper into it, CFAO 50-3 was cancelled so I don't know what I go by now as the DAOD that supersedes it does not include much information. I am lead to believe there was a form included in CFAO 50-3...

Hey guys, So was reading up on the Canadian Forces Small Arms Concentration (CFSAC), and Bisley Cup, etc...and got me wondering, who/how decides who competes at the CFSAC?  Are there teams for every base, are there teams for every unit, how does one go about getting on teams? Do teams get extra...

Need some advice on what to say to one of the younger lads working under me.  He's a loggy, mid-20s and tired of loggy boring snooze fest stuff as he says, and he's wanting to OT.  He has no clue what else to do though (trade wise), so how can I recommend him something when all he's mentioned is...

Couple quick and dirty questions, i'll just fire away (I have searched, maybe I didn't input right keywords) 1. CFAT scores, do they have a half-life or are they valid your whole career, unless of course you want to take it again to get better scores after getting some education. 2. Say you...

Ok so I put this in this section as it has to do with where we currently are deployed, but if its in the wrong section feel free to move it. I was watching TV, and for the first time really paid attention to words they were using, where the guy said he was travelling to another country and...

I may be out of my lane here, or not be able to get a straight answer due to OPSEC or lack of pers with knowledge, but i'll give'r anyways. Suffice to say i've heard scuttle-butt (i know don't listen to rumours) that JTF2 will be changing roles and only doing domestic stuff, and that CSOR will...

I didn't exactlty know where to put this, but I was just looking for this chart that had the Army, Air Forice and Navy way of saying certain things.  This was kind of a gag/morale chart. said things like this for example Washroom = Army: Latrine / Navy: Heads / Air Force: spa Deployment =...

Might seem like a silly question, but I thought i'd ask it anyway, but with the caveat that i'm admitting this is an awkward question. I've caught a few US military shows as well as news reports, and i'm just wondering if when they give orders and/or drill they purposefully try to sound...

I'm just wondering since usually things are pretty black and white when it comes to military, you know yes sir, no sir and what not. Since we only spend a dismal 1-1.1% of our GDP, how can we still be part of NATO? it is one of the requirements. i'm also wondering how people can say cut...

Ya i feel you on that, bout the combat shirt/jacket (whatever you prefer) can anyone tell me why the draw string in the middle is soooooo damn high...why do I need a string to sinch my shirt, over my RIBCAGE?

Ok so i'm positive everyone has walked through at LEAST one CF base gym, and seen the huge wall with pictures of all the CF sports Hall of Famers....i've stood there before checking out what some of them won awards for or competed in, and it surprises me GREATLY what I see, things ranging from...

Like the title says, just curious how everyone got into the military, and what made them choose X trade, or officer vs ncm route. Thanks all

I didn't know where else to put this, so if any mods want to move it, feel free. I did a search and didn't find anything this train of thought. Was just wondering, while reviewing the pay scales/rates why there are only 4-5 pay increments for NCM's yet for Sub-Lieutenants/2nd Lieutenants...

Hey everyone, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but i'm very curious about this. I am not some newby, straight off civvy street. I am currently a serving member. I never did Army Reserves, when i was younger, i went the Naval Reserves route, and i know Naval reservists, can get full time...

Salut la gang, Bon je voulais juste savoir s'il y avait des halterophile, dynamophile ou culturiste ici sur le forum. Si oui, comment avez vous placer a vos match/tournois/competitions, et peut-etre jaser a propos de ces sports. Merci salut.

Hey everyone, well i've always wondered exactly what a) everyones opinions on reservists vs reg forces b) the differences between them and c) why those differences exist, and should they continue to or should we all be trained the same. BONUS QUESTION: d) how would you go about making the...

I'll chime in, PPCLI: well i've only heard the cowboy rumour, but you know they did a bang up job everytime they were in A-stan.  Hell one of there troopies got the long range sniper kill record, so you know what they get the job done. RCR: As the oldest of the 3 regiments, they are kinda like...

Hey ya'll, Well i was checking the Maple Leaf, not to long ago and I saw that there was a few powerlifters in the army, was just wondering if there is a powerlifting federation in the CF or something to that effect, also i remember checking out a page somewhere about a powerlifting or...

hey everyone, was checking the history channel today and yesterday, and this pretty cool show came on, its Dogfight, and its all about digitally recreating significant dogfights, via computer imaging, just wondering if anybody has checked it out, and if anyone knows if Canadians have been or...

Hey guys, i was just wondering if the CF has USO events where they bring celebs/bands/singers/athletes etc, overseas to come entertain the troops or even just to come say hey, and shoot the breeze. If so what have we done lately and is there a special name for these kinds of things in the CF
