Another one of Hitler's great strategies... destroy vehicles and equipment out of spite but still fight on! A very magnificent find, though. A little late for the Kriegsmarine boys... 

It could be the worst most dangerous "pensioner". Maybe she's been secretly using her home as a weapon cache for the germans SINCE 1914... and maybe she.. still.. is...  :o

It really depends where you end up for your BMQ course. If, by luck, you end up in Gagetown or Borden you will probably be issued a tacvest. If you should find yourself doing basic in St. Jean, you will be issued the webbing. As far as I know, it's still the same. Ah, webbing.

This is not from BMQ but similar circumstances anyway... It was another inspection morning for us on our QL3s... our Mbdr was very hard on us to have clean, clean, clean rifles. It would take nothing more than a milimetre of carbon to be caught in the fury of swearing and yelling. However, this...

The free food I pay 400$ a month for is awesome too.

Main gate OP at Farnham in -50 weather at 3am with one of the guys in my section, freezing, drinking coffee and smoking. We still have a good laugh about it, thank god for that coffee becxause it surely saved our lives... It's crazy how well you know the people you go to BMQ with and how...

So far, after a day at the firing range during -30 blizzards our staff took us out to some woods on the outskirts of Farnham. They had us put on our white camoflauge, balaclavas and mukluks included, then explained what they wanted us to do. The instructor would stand on the road outside of the...

It is very touching to see the Dutch, still, remember the sacrificies made for them during the war. The Canadians were not lost in vain thanks to depths of their hearts. Great story, thanks for sharing.
