    Service Record

    I don't have anything to show in terms of documentation regarding my service, which ended back in 2010. Like if I even want to show that I'm a veteran I don't really have any official documentation. Does anyone know where I may request copies of my service records? I'm thinking in terms of...

    Security concern with social media and military personnel

    On my personal facebook page I sometimes put up a photo of me in uniform. When I do this, once in a while I will get a friend request from either a really hot girl (who would never talk to me in real life), who only has a few Arab friends, or someone with an Arab name with/without a profile...

    Searching for Video: Room filling with sea water

    Hello, I am trying to track down a video of a training exercise I saw somewhere. In the video there was a room with a bunch of pipes and valves and sea water was dumped inside to simulate a sinking ship. The people stuck in side had to work together to stop the flooding. I've search youtube...

    Shotgun Pistol

    The CF uses the 9mm Browning and a 9mm Sigsauer (I don't recall the model). I've shot both these pistols. My Browning would fall apart frequently and I'm pretty sure it would have been better to throw it at the enemy than try and shoot it. My Sig was a lovely handgun, but for someone who didn't...

    Canadian Millitia/Insurgent tactics?

    I am wondering if there is any kind of information/operations manual that is geared towards situations where North America would be overrun with an occupational force? I am thinking that back in the cold war, there may have been tactical information for a militia to engage occupying Russian...

    Sextant

    Hello, I tried searching for this, but nothing with a clear answer: 1) What make/model of sextant is used by the CF Navy currently? (I assume there is access to one should GPS drop or various emergencies) 2) What make/model of sextant was used in WWII by the CF Navy? Thanks.

Worse yet, some people do fall for...

    Suggestion

    Perhaps the mods here could ask someone who works at VAC to monitor this portion of the site? Even in an Unofficial capacity. I am thinking that more precise information would be given and would allow people to get help more directly. Or is that already happening?

    Funny Sins you have committed

    I'll start: Once I visited a girl working in a group home for troubled teenagers. One of the people there was a kid with schizophrenia. The girl who worked there told me he would cut out pictures of old men and put them in a briefcase, saying they were spies who were watching him. Also he...

    Casualties of War & OSI

    For those who come back suffering from an OSI and end up being lost due to suicide: Are these soldiers considered to be casualties of war? (If not, I believe they should be.) I know that suicide, that is not related to combat,  is not treated with much respect in the CF culture. Seen as weak...

    Cyber-Physical Attacks and Drone Strikes

    Or what I like to call high-tech antisymmetric warfare. The article below hints on what I have been worried about for a long time now. Given a *very modest* budget, I am sure one can have a massive impact on a city and won't even have to be on the same side of the globe. Anyone with a computer...

    I am not sure if anyone here would be able to answer this question, but here it is: I have dealings with an organization in the DND that I noted continuously hands out contracts to a specific civilian organization. This organization consists of past members of the DND department, and close...

    Supplementary Reserve

    When releasing, what are the advantages to going into the supplementary reserves? I was told it allows you to go back into the system quicker if you decide to come back. (Is that true?)

    Leave pass end date

    I am looking at my leave pass, and confusing myself. (not hard, I know) Let's say my end of leave date is the 12th. Does that mean I should up to work on the 12th? Or does it include that day, and I return to work on the 13th? I kinda prefer the latter option ;)
