This is still done today (well.... 2008) when new Guardsmen arrive in Ottawa at "Depot" (aka, Carleton University) for the Intensive Drill Period (work-up training)!  I have my set and most recently took them to St Jean for BMOQ.  Sadly, that was probably the last time I will ever wear my...

The full list would be interesting to see - I have a few things that I think might apply...

I'm just quoting this as it got bumped off the last page by the above comment, and I would still like an answer if anyone has a suggestion! Cheers!

Sorry to bump and old thread but it meets the needs of my question: I am laminating several wide maps tomorrow with the issued "map" (mac) tack.  I have done it before but never with such large pieces.  When doing it in the past I was told that layering the "tack" was bad form, although...

If the will of the government is behind it, then it will likely happen - but I must take issue with the suggested name.  What ass-hat decided it should be at the behest of the GG? Canada Defence Medal - Okay Queen's Canadian Volunteer Service Medal - Sure! Canadian Volunteer Service Medal -...

I hope this may  indicate an eventual return to the pip-system for Army officers, and a less-visually-repulsive system for our Air Force officers (aka, the blue-on-blue of our commonwealth contemporaries/historic uniforms).

I don't believe that a PSO worth his or her weight would arbitrarily cast someone aside (in a red trade no less), unless there was more of a history to all of this that we're not getting.  Were there no other mitigating circumstances? E.g. A history of transgressions throughout the course?  Its...

Ack all!  Thanks folks :D

I realize that this is a very old thread, but I could not find anything relevant which was more recent. My question is simple, I am looking at buying a classic car (37 years old) before I complete my first move.  This will be a summer-only vehicle, in addition to a car I already own.  Will the...

Ack all, and thanks all. I'm more trying to determine what has been the recent posting pattern for IntOs.  Is it off to PRETEC O Coy at CFB Borden, or will it be the route which makes sense due to fewer moves (e.g. sending me to OJT/OJE at my first unit)?  Time will tell, although experience...

Good Day, I'll keep things short, and if someone wants to respond via PM instead of these means, feel free. I'm currently training via the ROTP, and have completed BMOQ.  I graduate this year, and my COS date is 3 May, 2010 which is when I will be posted to my new unit (not sure of the...

Why, only the beating African sun old boy! Tip-tip!

No no, Tommy's just worried 'cause he's got the vet plates on the old beige beast!  Keepin' it VIP buddy?

The more I think about it, the "battle honour" idea is kinda funny, might be nice to suggest for the course shirt this summer... poke fun at all the sillyness one sees on other shirts.

Remember... I'm laughing with you: (but) Hahahahahaha.  I hope you had a t-shirt made up with crossed bayonets, laurel wreaths and battle honours like: MESS HALL SHOWERS A DRILL CLASS POWERPOINT See you in May!
