Hi there, I was just talking to a buddy of mine who just got back from overseas. He was telling me about the CMO and couldn't remember what it stood for. Anyhow, just wanted to get a bit more information about this organization. Are they actively recruiting members to it? Sounds like it could be...

RIP boys, you died in the most noble way. We will remember

Hi there Does anyone out there have any inkling of the running dates for any BIQ courses for LFWA? I'm hoping to get on a May BIQ, but there's no word from the chain right now. I'm from the Royal Westminster Regiment.

Redleaf, you are incorrect as to the person I was thinking. Hint 2: this person wore it on D-day...

What famous war correspondent (of sorts), during a major conflict, wore a Burberry coat?

I'm not suggesting military parades, just a simple show of support on the one day that seems to important. Geo showed a lack of compassion. Not necessarily hostility. However, in the phrasing of his response, I picked up a negative connotation with the United States of America, which I think is...

But this war isn't over yet, so there is no way to commemorate this, or the new global age this has ushered in. In fact, I have profs who would argue that it is as significant or more so than WW2. Certainly it is the most influential event since the war. Good point though. And Geo, that's really...

We all wear out deu's to commerorate our veterans on brothers on Nov 11. However, what do people here think about wearing them on the anniversary of 9/11, particularly this 5th year anniversary?

Umm, sergeant, maybe its just me, but I think it is an actual rank. I have 4 members of rifles regiments around me right now, and they are all reading this and telling me that it is a rank. 2 of em are cpls and 1 is a mcpl. the other is a rfn. I think you may be wrong, but if you have evidence...

Hollywood: I have a sense of humour, "father". I can detect sarcasm; however I also have regimental pride. By the way, my father was a major in the SAS who I have not seen in 6 years, and I would appreciate you to not patronize me. I was merely pointing out that infanteer is an accepted and...

So there's no such thing as infanteer? Jeez buddy, go pick a fight with this guy. http://forums.army.ca/forums/members/349. Tell him that And if there is no such term, then why in God's name do I hear it used on military bases ALL THE TIME?!? Oh man, are PROFESSIONALS using wrong terminology...

Wow, my name is not a reference to rifleman as in "number one rifleman, alpha team, one group". My name is Rifleman Phil with a CAPITAL R. Blimey, Rifleman is the rank of "Private" in rifle regiments. I'm sure you've heard of them - The Queen's Own Rifles, the Brockville Rifles, the Royal Regina...

AHAHAHAHA!  :P blimey, I love the army. By the way, I don't have a bloody section commander right now. I don't even actually have a unit because i'm in the middle of a transfer. The other thing is, for reservists, we are on stand down right now. They don't have "Riflemen" in the reg force dude...

Hi I've been  thinking about section attacks recently, and I can't quite remember all the steps to them. Can someone please write a quick refresher of the steps and any other tips? Phil

When does the westies parade? What day of the week and which times?

Haha, noneck, I certainly see what you mean. For me its not a rascist or ethno-biased point, just some sentimental history. My family has fought in British army units (not highland ones) for centuries, quite literally, and I'd rather not break the chain. I have no problems with highland units in...

Sorry, also, one other question. What is Fort Lewis and Yakima?

What was the name of the first battle the Portugese fought in India, and who was the commander? How many battles is this man reputed to have won?

Hi I'm looking for some members of the westies regiment. I tried to send an email to the recruiter of the reg't, but i have not received a response. I am a member of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. I enlisted last June, and I took my BMQ/SQ during the summer. I took part in the urban warfare training...

haha, i was thinkin the same thing. you bloody medics haha, way tooo much time on your hands.
