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...
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.

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.

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.
