I do agree with a lot of what has been said. Some points one can not refute, ie the slack and idle OS on the frigate (maybe its a navy thing? ;D). The point raised with regards to a "kinder gentler army" I think touches part of the issue. The demographic of the people in the forces today has...

Does anyone know what the actual role of Reserve force pers assigned to the PRT FP Coy is? As in how are they being augmented? For example with 3-08, a portion of the Coy will be from a mechanized reg force unit, but again what is the fate of the Res Pers in the grand scheme of things? Info...

Chew, Spitz, Glowsticks, & Gun tape..... IT IS what the CF runs on after all

The song was originally done by Tears for Fears and is titled Mad World, the version used in the video was done by Gary Jules.

Many of you have probably already seen the raw footage, but I am rather certain that everyone will be impressed by this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GfdQ5CYT3E

PMT, thanks for clearing that up... My heart was in the right place on the TF # issue. :D Sadly my head was up my a$$  ;D As for national sourcing for some trades goes, I dont dispute that at all.  However in the context of the question asked by Caleix (031 Res Pte with no 'specialty' trg...

I'm not a pro on the TF numbering, but arent the "07" TF's the contingency ones? Word from 32 CBG COMD / BSM was that at first 1-08 needed only a few people from LFCA (like 5) and as it stands has taken somthing like 200 pers from LFCA. The possiblity is always there, as George said...

I can tell you what i know from the infantry side of things. Stream 1 is limited to 18 Cpl/Pte from each CBG in LFCA who will augment 3RCR as riflemen. Initaly the start date was 1 Apr 07. It is now a May start date although the pers from 32 CBG who put in for Stream 1 (Cpl/Pte) are now on...

I will do my best to answer your questions, I've spoken to my OC + CSM/OPS WO about this EX a  few times 1. When is the exact dates for deployment and return? I have seen it on paper as 11-24 Aug 07, not sure if thats departure date or actual exercise dates. 2. What level of training Ex is...

Mr Roy, It was Ab.... well picked line thou!!! As for the young r-e-s-p-e-c-t demanding clerks out there... Respect is earned, and if you are a Pte(R) preaching about how powerful you are within your Svc Btn then you got a lot to learn before you will earn any respect on here or in your job.

I never claimed to be an expert  :-[ and retract the 4 weeks comment... however the FNG factor remains fairly high even after 15 weeks... BTW... It would only makes sence that BOTP is the first course...  B does stand for basic right?   Wait.... There I go again with what seems logical... I...

By the end of BOTP, you've done what?  Learned to shine you boots, point the C7 rifle in the right direction, and drill, and the principles of leadership?  I am not to familier with the course names on the officer (dark) side of the army, I but I am assuming that the B in BOTP is Basic....If...

So basically, you are saying you signed up for something fun and exciting, but got moved to D+S. I see that higher found something that was suitable for you. The on-going promise is that every soldier that is deemed deployable will deploy, however not always in his/her first choice of role...

Recce, thank you...  *shakes head* Red Haze, the thread is for info on TF03-08 not bitchin and complaining about TF whatever you were on (not ment as insult to the TF by anymeans). Some jobs have a higher glam factor then others, but guess what, I know that, most people know that, so frankly go...

And you are saying this based off of what?

Thats part of the problem, from what I have been told is that the CFTPO has not been created (or somthing to that effect) and that position numbers do not exisit yet. From what I can gather is that they called for volunteers, we answered, some of us putting other things on hold, and are now...

Ok so heres the deal.... I am an Infantry MCpl in LFCA. I was just told that there are NO positions for MCPL for TF 3-08 on STREAM ONE I find this out after the army sends me into spin mode over the past week during I started to DAG because some one in NDHQ or LFCAHQ wants Res pers in Petawawa...

That evil "d" word (drill) appears over a dozen times in this thread... I have to agree with MJP, drill is a secondary, no not even it more along the lines of a tertiary concern when it comes to a rifle... this is a Weapons and Ammo thread... not a "my life is over because the C7A2 doesnt look...

your right on the point of the pte... keep in mind in the regs you get your cpls typically after 4 years... in those four years you've deployled likely twice... but your right thou, the regs have seen huge turn over rates, esp with the creation of new certain unit... Does anyone know what is...
