Any other Land Rover buffs out there who can tell me where I might be able to purchase a Land Rover Defender in Canada?  Currently, the new models are not available in Canada but supposedly they will be coming here in 2007.  Too bad I won't be able to afford a new one!  But I have heard that you...

Well I haven't heard many 911 calls actually.  But this one is almost unbelievable.  I checked Snopes.com and its still undertermined whether this is a fake or not.  If it is real though then there really is no hope for some people.  Enjoy...

I'm filling out the interview prep form but for the life of me I cannot find any info on the training program for Armour Officers. One of the questions is: "Where and how long is the training?" I've looked at the occupation sheets that they give you at the recruiting center and online but can...

I was wondering about how much weight (roughly) does one carry when doing the Ruck Marches in BMQ.  I am planning on putting Ruck Marching into my training schedule so that I can prepare myself for that aspect of Basic Training.  My idea is to get a good, sturdy hiking backsack and just stuff it...

Well this is not really military related, hence the fact that I put it in the Off Topic section. So I was at the bar the other night with a good mate of mine.  As per usual, at the end of the night a big fight breaks out in the parking lot between a group of drunken boneheads and another squad...

I was wondering if anyone knows much about the Jericho Garrison in Van.  As I've lived in Vancouver most of my life and I grew up here I have passed by the compound many times but have never really wondered much about it.  Now that I am going down there this thursday to visit a local reserve...

How does the military attache system work?  Are attaches appointed or do they apply for the position?  If so what are the eligibility requirements?  Just curious, its something I never really hear much about, but I imagine it would be an exciting job to be one.

It's hard to find alot of info on Canada's military intelligence structure.  I've read that it is unified across all three services.  So does that mean that there are no service specific intelligence units?  The reason I ask is because I read on another thread here a few days ago that there are...

I though I'd post this great book review on Andrew Robert's book "Waterloo: Napoleon's Last Gamble." It was in the Economist, and anyone who knows the Economist knows that their writers have a rather unique sens of humour...this review is great for a good laugh...enjoy! BEATING BONEY Feb 10th...

Can anyone shed some light on the comparison between Canada's Officer training and the UK's Officer Basic Training programs...from what I've read, the British Commissioning course seems pretty detailed, much longer (44 weeks) and involves alot more as far as variety goes... Does the CF compare...

Does anyone know if the CF has a Rugby Team?  Or if specific units or bases have teams?  Just interested because I play ruggers and I would love to continue playing if I join up...

Hi all, I'm in the application process right now for Canada and UK and I have one issue that I'm concerned about.  It concerns my eyesight, I searched through the forums for anything related to this and I couldn't find anything.  Basically, my problem is that I have a condition in my left eye...

Can anyone recommend any useful guides, books, websites...anything...that can help in preparing for the CFAT.  I'm also applying for an Officer commission in the British Army and I've heard that there is some pretty tough testing to go through with them as well.  I'm not overly worried, but my...

Hey everyone, I didn't know where to put this one but I figured it had to do with recruiting so I decided to slap it down here.  I had earlier read that Canadians, as citizens of the Commonwealth, were allowed to apply for service in the British Army.  This was recently confirmed when I emailed...

Just to add to my earlier questions regarding background checks for those of us who lived outside of the country in the past 10 years...what kind of checks do they peform in the other country?  I lived in the UK for 2 years...so what will they be doing...talking to my professors from university...
