Can I also assume that most of the equpiment you guys use are way more modern and newer than the stuff I saw on the ATIS Tech video from the DND site? From the looks of it I think the video was made in the early 90s.

Thanks but i was looking for regular flexfit baseball caps (hats without the plastic adjustable strap on normal hats). So far I've only found CADPAT/MARPAT "hip hop block hats", patrol caps or boonie hats.

Does anyone know where I can find a green CADPAT flexfit baseball cap?

I was wondering, what makes Halifax a good place for cold weather testing? Does it even get that cold over there? I would assume that Iqaluit would be a better testing ground? Is Halifax more favourable since Iqaluit is less developed and lacks certain CF installations?

I'm confused, I was under the impression that The Hole was located inside CFB North Bay. So are they relocating the entire base elsewhere or is the hole located outside CFB North Bay? Can anybody tell me more about the Hole? What does it look like? What's inside it? What is/was its purpose? All...

But why would they want to replce the underground bunker?

Intersting, thanks for your input everybody. Combatcamera, did you shoot any of those HMCS Winnipeg videos?

Ok, so do you think it's not realistic for someone like me to jump straight into int op and should get into another trade before transfering?

Thanks for your input everybody, and Ryan, your article was an intersting read. It reminded me of the time I got the chance to visit the Toronto in '05. Do you navy people feel comfortable using the trackball mouse and computers?  Actually I am thinking about joining the army reserve as an Int...

Why would I want to know all this? Not really sure, was just wondering how military computers compare to civilian ones. It would be intersting to know how many gigahertz the HMCS Toronto has etc etc. Not sure if the answer to this question is classified or not: Why do you guys use trackballs...

I have a few questions about computers and electronics on Canadian ships... I was wondering what kind of computers Canadian warships use. Do you guys only have computers hardwired to the ship? Or do you use PCs and Laptops? What are they used for? Are the computers fast and efficient enough to...

So...does anybody know how they store those bulky mags?

There's something that keeps bugging me about Stargate and Stargate Atlantis...the guys use P90s but their tact vests are CLEARY designed for M4s/M16s...can somebody show me a picture of ACTUAL P90 tact vests? I believe that the Belgian SFs use them right?

So if the CF Reserve accepts you, you'd pick up your cammo, gloves, shirts, pants, boots, tact vest, bullet proof vest etc right? I was also wondering...what would happen if you were to loose an item and it was completely your fault? You would pay the full price of it? What if it is something...

Okay, thanks for the information. But I'm still a bit confused with this "parading" thing, what is it exactly? Are they military drills or something? And does anybody know if there are any Reserve Bases in Waterloo? Also what kind of Reserve trades the Toronto bases offer?

So you can stay in the Reserves for as long as you want and leave the reserves whenever you want? That sounds very conveneint. Is that only for Infantry, or does this apply for all Reserve trades? Actually I left a message in early December...

I'm interested in joining the Reserves in the future and I was wondering if the contract lengths discussed here will apply for the Reserves as well. What would the initial contract length for a reserve rifleman be? And What would the length be if it were to be renewed? Also, I was wondering if...

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but maybe Canada should buy a  $75 million AN-124 cargo plane or a C-5 galaxy instead of asking the Russians for a ride whenever there's a distaster.

Indeed....better start planning the next 20 years of my life.

What a bright future we live in! Fistumo, could you tell me more about the kind of research you do and what trade are you planning to do in the CF?
