    Cancel membership

    I can't quite figure out how to do this. I just paid for a new year and I am ok with that. However, I haven't even been active on this site for quite some time. So can my subscription be cancelled please? Thank you.

    Canadian military shields Afghan village from Taliban

    Yes I remember hearing about the young boy and his father when we first rolled in.  When we first got there, I was one of the first people to clear the compound we would be re enforcing. There was a few ANP casualties who have been there for a few days. Being TCCC qualified, I stumbled upon a...

    Canadian military shields Afghan village from Taliban

    sorry to bring up a old topic, but I never did see this article. I often sit and wonder if the supplies we brought, the fences we built, and the strong hold we made there, stood the test of time, or what ever happened to that town. It was nothing but threats, IED's and more threats we...

    Trying to get out of Singles Quarters

    Sorry for bringing up a old topic, but it fits the best. My situation is, I am a reservist switching to AVN Tech. I will  be receiving a recruit school bypass. I have been in 3.5 years. Was on Task Force 1/07 with Hotel Company 2 RCR. My question is, when I get to Borden, will I be able to...

    Thoughts on deployment/rotation length & HLTA

    my 2 cents, I agree that the best option I read here is 6 month tour no HLTA (as much as I loved it) or 9 month with HLTA. Nothing worst then always being undermanned in combat due to HLTA. Especially when your tour is Feb- Aug, the first HLTA falls around end of march (beginning of fighting...

    need help finding: nalgene pouch for tacvest

    Sorry for bringing up a old topic. But on the note of buying a pouch for a nalgene bottle. Personally, I just had my nalgene bottle in my canteen pouch, with a field dressing in the pouch as well.  Worked for me 6 months overseas anyway, so I continue this practice today.

    In Theater TCCC Pouch

    it's a tad bit on the "annoying to wear every dismounted patrol" side. big and floppy, and the buckles break, the straps loosen making it flop everywhere. it ends up on the inside of your leg. although i realize its probably the best design, i still personally hated it. I wore it nonetheless...

    Post Deployment Reintergration

    I have been home for almost 5 months now, and I seem to miss that place more and more everyday. While I was there I hated some aspects , and could not wait to get home. Now that I'm home, I feel like a part of me is still there.. While I was overseas, I was "that guy", or "the big man" you know...

    Cpl Wilcox court martial - Sydney NS

    roto 3, task force 1/07..... the numbers are being thrown out there and hurting my head... anyway, on a more serious note. I agree that this should be done, but at the same time, Cpl. Wilcox is going to have to live with this forever, and that is quite a burden. Nonetheless RIP  Cpl Kevin Megeney
