    What does OPSEC mean?

    Ummm, Other People Sometimes Eavesdrop on Conversations??  To serve as a reminder, to ensure that people who have "Need to Know", know the information, and that Other people (Bad guys) are always trying to find the information out to have a tactical/information advantage.. Atleast that is what...

    Warrant Officer - Roles and Responsibilities

    Thank you... I have been in now for 14 years now, and know how to properly address the CoC ????  It was a question of the history of the Warrant Officer, and how it came about to include the term "Officer" (Sorry if I did convey the question right)  ;D Harley Sailor... I found the real answer...

    Warrant Officer - Roles and Responsibilities

    Thank you Ammo,       I guess the question really is...  the title Officer..  I understand that an Officer is given a "Commission" and that a WO is given a "Warrant", however... We do not address Officers as Capt "Officer" Bloggins, or Maj "Officer" Bloggins, vs. (to include MWO, CWO) as...

    Ok, here is a questing? (and sorry to hi-jack),     About 13 years ago, a question was once asked of me!  Why is it, that Officers are Commissioned, and WO's are given the title "Warrant" Officers?

    Sacrifice Medal Mega Thread

    Forgotten,       Do not take everything to heart that people say about the W/S or anything.  It is what you think/feel as an individual that really matters.  The fact that some folks are that rude, will never change.  However, what "we" as Soldiers (regardless of trade or tour) have had to...

    Sacrifice Medal Mega Thread

    I will tell you why I feel we should fix this, based on my experience.  You know how many times I have had to relay my story of when I was wounded, to civilians, you and I know each other.  Every single one of those times I was asked what medal did I get for those wounds.  I had to explain...

    Sacrifice Medal Mega Thread

    I agree Piper, I was unlucky to get 2 of the damn things (WS).. Though I think the medal is a step in the right direction, and was done without malice.  I think it is everyone else's intent.  What I find crazy is the amount of people that are know asking for the medal, or asking "how can I get...

    Sacrifice Medal Mega Thread

    Well, some interesting news!! Two of my friends (MMV) that were going to the GG's for the 12th of Nov were just notified that the SM ceremony is delayed.  They are looking at some of the regulations. From some of my other friends, I guess enough people raised enough hell to get a review done..

    What really happens when you send a letter to 'Any Canadain Forces Member'?

    Engineers Wife, That is so true, we use to get so many of them.  A lot were from schools, and from the Granny Bgd (2 that really come to mind).  I still have every letter that I got, and I replied to everyone of them!!  To the school kids, I would just write to the class, as the questions were...

    Question about joining as a Medic

    Where do you work?? lol...  I think many units are in real need of an oil change!! Medical trade is the greatest... IMHO,  I think every Medic should strive to be a Combat Medic, as that is the ultimate reward.  To live, fight, sleep, and sometimes die beside the people we all support in the...
