Well Supersonic, I don't think its as easy as you think, don't get me wrong I agree that the benefits would have been awesome (if they thought of it orig) and did not put buildings on it. To move the buildings you would need to re locate the following (off the top of my head) All the ranges...

you also have to take in the fact that the ranges are on the other end of the runway, and the main runway is the route to get there.

The Bison actually has a little more space, I am shorter and there was more room in the bison than coyote. Yes my Regt (LdSH(RC) has a few TLAV's and Bisons, its not a course that is generally desired by Troopers, they join to work with tanks etc. There are not many (if any) actual CFTPO...

Yes taller folks can fit into a TLAV, Bison, but that's not our main vehicle platforms! You can also fit in a Coyote (for now), and also the LAV TOW, if you are too tall for a driver spot, there are still other options within the trade (gunner, transport, TOW, etc). There are height restrictions...

Hey all; Well I am not sure when the tanks will be given back to the Regt's we were just told that it will be happening. Keep in mind the "new" Leo 2's are still hiding in the east waiting for some "Canadian parts" to be put on, so it might be a little while. As for MOC trg, well you continue...

I am an Armoured Officer, that came up through the ranks and can answer almost any question you might have about it. Just ask away or PM me if you feel better doing it that way. I can say this though, there are 3 great Regiments (which I am sure you found out in the pamphlets) The RCD in...

...or you're trying to pick up chicks wearing your "I am a pilot, therfore cooler than thou" uniform! haha

I am a zipperhead and I've no issues (well not that can be fixed on here! Blackadder, these sutures weren't in Glamoc on roto 7 were they?

It's open out here in Edmonton, I'll try and post it for you University Training Plan for Non-Commissioned Members (UTPNCM)  The following is a brief overview of the major points regarding the UTPNCM program.  For more detailed information one should consult CFAO 9-13.  This web page is...

"Agree - having 2-3 rifleman qualified driver/gunner means we can swap out crew - which is awesome if you're in the vehicle for more than 12 hours.  Leave, casualties, etc, etc; all these things mean the section can operate if it loses its driver and/or gunner.  Having only one qualified driver...

Speaking as an Armoured Officer working as a LAV Capt with an Infantry Company, I can say that I think having Armoured crew the veh's and Infantry do dismounted is a great idea. Don't get me wrong I have some amazing Infantry crew commanders. When I go back to my Regiment I would like to take...

A "weapon trade"?? ah just so you know we are all SOLDIERS first, and yes you will carry a weapon in your trade! My last tour I had Comms research guys tasked with my Sqn and OFTEN went with my patrol outside the wire! Just because you are not in the combat arms does not mean this career is...

Anyone remember the days when some people had the choice jail or military, I had a good SSM's that had that choice! Ahh how the times change! Good luck with your problems and hope it works out for you.

Thanks Old Fart,for the support and not reading more than I put in. Vern I DO know what I am talking about. As I said it is a route I have chose, and so have a few of my WO and MWO friends, so I am quite in my lane on this one. I never said they could not go higher in rank, all I was stating...

to add; As a Sergeant and WO you only go to Lt, it is only MWO and above that become Captains, and some trades (i.e. Infantry) as a WO you will still have to do certain Phases, whereas say Armoured a WO is already phase 4 qualified! In some instances you will also have to go to St Jean to do a 3...
