    Help Identifying Old Family Badges

    I found these while helping to clean out my grandmother's house, they were my grandfather's from his time as a paratrooper during WW2, can anyone tell me how he might have earned/been given these? Anything that you can tell me about them would be greatly appreciated as he passed away before I...

    Making Canada Relevant Again- The Economic Super-Thread

    As a current college student in Ontario I think my story might be of some merit here. When I was in grade 12 I had been hearing from my parents that university was the only way to go. They had both gone to university and so that's what I should do to. I put in my applications and was accepted...

    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks for all the advice! I'll definitely start working on my math skills and will be staying in the program until I'm successful with my application. That free shuttle and taxi system is a really good idea I hasn't thought of using it. But especially since I don't have any classes on...

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi there I read your story and was amazed how much it resembles my own. When I got to the part about drilling and peterborough I had to laugh because I'm pretty sure we go to the same school as I'm taking Blasting at fleming frost campus. I've only recently submitted my application so if you...

    Automatic promotion to corporal?

    Hi all I am currently studying Blasting Techniques at Fleming College, as far as I know it is the only program of it's kind in Canada, and when I graduate I am planning on applying to the CAF as a Combat Engineer. A few weeks ago I was speaking to a friend of mine who is a corporal working in...

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    You're absolute right Bri. There was a case in my family where my aunt was repeatedly raped at night by her father and no one knew about it until over a year after he died because she was afraid of the stigma and damage to the family that might have been caused by telling any one. On the other...

    CAF Banking and Financial health [merged]

    At the moment I use TD just because that's the one that is most convenient for me. But I did learn the other day that they will wave any fees for closing out your mortgage early if you are a member of the CF

    Photos from my recent trip to Canada's mlitary cemetery in Normandy

    I don't know what the mods would have to say about it, but I would definitely be interested in seeing your photos. I've always been awed by D-Day and the stories and sacrifices made. Unfortunately I've never been able to visit the area myself  :(

    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    As mentioned before it all depends on who else is applying that year. Remember that you are fighting for a spot against every other applicant from across Canada, to give an example of how competitive that is when I went through the process they were taking 35 people on as Infantry officers, 10...
