    Pace Stick Meaning

    Thanks, I figured as much. I knew the RCR traditionally carried the black (MWOs and up) I guess we just have the chery coloured for other units that traditionally carry them. Anyone heard of Cherry coloured pace sticks as a unit standard? I've really only heard of blonde and black as a standard.

    Weapons Mod

    I've seen some C7A2 stocks break, due to the commonality of parts, it can just as easily be replaced with a black, or green replacement. As for the RAS he's got there, I want one and I'm jealous. I have my own old style cocking handle that I use in my A2 because I think the new one is.... well...

    The General Hillier Years. The Merged Superthread

    It seems to me, that the position of CDS is a political one and that, like it or not, once you take up that position you become a politician. The thing about Rick, is he never stopped being a soldier. Most CDS's just accept their role as a politician and fold to the every word of their...

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    Sweet, so basically I guess the consensus is, there is no magical thing we can claim on our taxes to get a larger refund without getting audited, sounds fair enough to me.

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    Yeah, that's what I thought, but I had heard, so naturally I felt it my duty to investigate the possibility of getting more money back, I have a small RRSP  and some tax deductible donations to include on my taxes and with Pte(3) pay I think I should be able to get something back....

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    Okay, so this may have been asked before, and if so I have been unable to find it. As a soldier in these fine Canadian Forces, how can one get the most from their tax return? I have heard crazy rumours around Pet that we can claim things like haircuts, and boot polish?? I guess it is a "business...

    :salute: Good on the guy, Good views. The Sargeant Major was a little pissed, but hey it happens.

    A Canadian Soldier-Good Poems

    When I was on my Basic I was out having a smoke with a guy and he read me a sort of poem about what it is to be a canadian soldier. I can't remember what it was called but I'd really like to know so I can find it and print it off for my self. It really made me proud to hear it. Anyone know? :cdn:
