thanks for the replies, tried the OIC armoury, not much help.  Said that had to go higher since I was bringing in civies. Gave me an extension to call but no answer on the other end.  I guess I'm looking for the facilities coordinator?

does anyone know who I need to get in touch with to book a parade square (drill practice - but for a civilian agency)? obviously I would be the duty O, and does anyone know how much it would cost (if any)? thanks!

Hmm.. Europe Bound, I know of one downtown.. I'll check it out. I also saw that Danner has LeBaron's as a retailer.  I'll check that out too.  thanks!

Not to nit-pick, and apologies for going off-topic, but the FAC role is arty, and the fate of the UAVs is still being tossed around between army and air force.  If it does go army, the artillery is getting it (in fact, 1 horse is building up a UAV troop right now).  This came directly from BGen...

How much did they end up costing you?

Come to think of it, I can't recall a single occasion where I've worn my gortex boots on ice.  It has always either been my mukluks or my mk IIIs.  I'm gonna have to try it out this winter to see for myself. At any rate, whereabouts did you guys go to have your vibrams put on?  I'm curious how...

hey nawk, I was on Crimson Tide, B coy.  With the gortex boots, if you were cold during Crimson Tide it says one thing to me that you didn't wear proper socks.  These don't have to be the issued ones, two layers of good thick cotton socks will do. At any rate, I was wearing my Mk III boots and...

Does anyone know of a store in the GTA that sells these types of boots.  I kinda have my heat set on getting the Altama ICBs but am willing to look at other brands. I can get them over the net but I want to specifically try them on before I buy.  thanks!

what about the other colours (green, olive, etc. from the home page).  What do they mean?

That link is only available on the DIN.

I'll be in shilo during that time (but for another course).  Watch the heat and the bugs!

milnews was great for this.. but their service seems to have stopped for some reason :(

oh, thanks. Not a bad idea, but where are we going to find the sailors?

Umm.. are they still making these Wasp Class carriers? the only references I found to them were from 1942!

would you mind telling me what you‘re talking about? a link would be nice :)

I guess I‘m batting for the artillery... As a gunner, I‘d say you‘ll get trained on maybe 60 to 75% of what the infanteers are trained on. Not to the same extent naturally, but you will get familiarization training at the minimum. On top of that you‘ll also learn all about the guns, or...

Yes major pay cut. At least until year 5, when it‘ll be a smaller (but still significant) pay cut :) And Yes Man... I‘ll speak to you about comp sci back at the unit :evil:

I am a comp sci degree holder.. and I already spend long hours in front of a computer... :D

Queen‘s Bloggins: Are you an artillery officer in the Toronto area? If so, please pm me.

Wait, you can be in CSIS and be in the reserves at the same time? I thought CSIS had the ability to send you off anywhere and thus making a part-time career in the reserves impractical. True? not true? Help me out please, I‘ve been interested in joining CSIS for awhile, just didn‘t like...
