A fair point Loachman.

Thanks winds_13. I believe is still serious I believe as he is also applying to University for Aerospace engineering - but then again, he is still only 17. He is mature for his age but obviously lacking in experience. Any recommendations on what to do to improve his score? We have downloaded...

Thank you for the reply BeyondTheNow, exactly the info I was looking for. I will have to have a talk with him about his options at this point. He got a wake up call from the test and subsequently learned a valuable lesson - not all things come easy beyond high school. In answer to your...

Hi All, I'm hoping someone might be able to answer some questions/offer guidance on re-writing the CFAT. My son who is 17 wrote it today but did not qualify for officer as he had hoped, he was told he can re-write it. Is there a limit as to how many times you can write it and is there a...

Where are all the Tory shills now?

The photo that I posted is not in the thread that you referenced, I haven't seen a duplicate posted here. I received it yesterday and thought people here might be interested. As for the sqn info, I did a search and got 18 pages returned, after spending about 20 minutes sorting through it, I...

Okay time for a couple of serious questions. Why do you guys keep pointing to articles on army.ca? Should I only go to the message boards found there? Is it protocol that every message board be searched for any possible relation to a post which is about to be made prior to making it?

Any word on what squadron will operate it from Trenton?

I guess its going to be called Canada One, looks pretty good! http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=1235185

OOOOhhh say can you see? By the dawn's early light.... Mimicking the Republican party is the quickest way to find yourself out office there Steve.

Okay I have a few questions about the BOQ for the CIC (after searching this site and reviewing documentation at RCIS I still have these basic questions). For the record I have not joined a unit yet I am in the process of doing so. I am assuming that while at BOQ we will be taught to march...

I think you guys are overreacting on this. The article chronicles the struggles the guy had to contend with in his life,  it paints him as a human being..flawed..like we all are. After reading the article I don't have a negative opinion of the man, quite the contrary. The struggles he faced...

Thank you for that, I will do so.

Sure, no problem Michael. He was a rifleman and a section leader first with 9 and then I believe 8 platoon, after his year was up he and a few other NCOs remained behind for an extra month to help 1 RCR get acclimated. In reference to this I just got off the phone with him and he can recall a...

I'd like to know which "half" of 2 RCR dumped their Lee Enfields for M-1 Carbines, do you have a source for this? I'm asking  because according to my old man (he was there) the only piece of equipment that was commonly jettisoned was the "trash can lid" helmet , he buried his in a rice paddy...
