I know I've seen this topic posted before, but I was unable to find it via the search. Anyways, I just finished a course and by the end of teh course I noticed that my toes were permanently numb, and felt like they were asleep. This has never happened before as this was my first course where...

I just saw some Globe and Mail front page reproductions that were circulated for the Year of the Vetran, and one of the articles mentions the "First Canadian Army".. did we have more than one army in WW2? I was under the impression that the higest it went was corps. Does anyone have any further...

I have lived in Halifax all my life, and what seems like daily there is what sounds like an air raid siren go off. Several people have told me this comes from the dockyard, but never was told what it was for. Anyone who works at the Halifax dockyard care to enlighten me? (And, believe me, I...

In regards to the primary reserve: I know that for less than 6 hours of work, you get half of the full days pay. But how does it work for more than six? For example if I work 7 hours, am I paid for a full day? If I work 12 hours am I paid for a full day or two full days? And more specificly...

Just curious as to whether the CF dress policy handbook is on the Internet somewhere (my unit was out)? A search turned up nothing on the DND site and here. I'm mainly just interested to know the policy on sunglasses while in uniform. Edit: apon further digging, I found the policy regarding...

Alright, I have some questions here after just getting my kit (did a search and couldn't get any definite answers) Ok, so #1) What the heck to I shine my combat boots with? I have seen some posts mentioning Kiwi polish? Is that right? Where do I get this stuff. I have seen posts about how to...

I don't know if this is the proper forum for this, but I am justifing it because there are army pictures included  ;) Anyways, it was a blast. The new site (Halifax International Airport) worked well, and the displays (static and air) were amazing. I had to leave early so I didn't get to see...
