I have what I believe might be a big problem: My last exam is on April 29th. My posting date to Gagetown is May 8th. My CAP course message (received AFTER the posting message) states May 1st as the course start date. It also states that I should report the day before the course starts (April...

I've searched high and low here for the CAP (PhII) joining instructions, as I'll be attending the course in Gagetown this summer. I have the DIN link, but no access to the DIN. I'd GREATLY appreciate it if someone could email/PM them to me (my email's in my profile). Thanks.

I just finished reading "Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad" by W. Craig. I'm not sure what the relationship is between this book and the movie, as they're extremely different. Contrary to the movie, this book focuses on numerous characters and only makes brief mention of Vasili...

I'm writing a paper on urban warfare, examining three case studies: Stalingrad, Grozny, and Fallujah. I've found some material on all three, but Grozny and Fallujah have been the hardest to find reputable material on. If anyone has or knows the location (online) of any articles, after-action...

What are the regulations on CF troops and Afghani law? I assume they're subject to military law and not Afghan law - am I correct?

Is this training open to officers? I'm also curious as to whether this is an actual course, or just a method of training. I googled "gunfighter program" but all I found was an exit survey for junior curling.

While the piece by the Star on 1VP in Afghanistan was great, I always like me some video. This is a 4:25 segment showing the Inn, some training/patrols, and speaking with some of the soldiers. http://www.cbc.ca/clips/rm-lo/brown_patrol060313.rm Requires RealPlayer. If that link won't work...

I can't believe the stupidity of this woman... http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2006/01/11/fetus-carpool2006011.html She should be fined extra for being an idiot.

This song had me in tears it was so funny. There's a little profanity, but not much: http://www.thelonelyisland.com/theheist.mp3 The whole site is chock-full of hilarious stuff. Check it out: www.thelonelyisland.com

Alright, here's my problem. I have an Asus A7V333 motherboard running WinXP. I bought a SATA hard drive for storage, along with a SATA controller card (Silicon Image) to enable the board to deal with the drive since the A7V only has regular ATA. I've installed the controller card, installed the...

I'm aware of the regulations restricting CF members from making public statements, most especially regarding political/policy matters but I'm not quite clear on how far it goes. For example, if I wrote a letter to a newspaper, defending the DND or the CF, but did so without any statement of my...

Found this while I was browsing one of the links in the "Numbers Stations" thread. It's a great story, regardless of whether its validity. It's a long read, but quite entertaining for anyone interested in spy stuff. http://www.myspystory.com/intro.html

Alllllrighty - I searched the forums, read through every thread with even the slightest mention of OPMEs but didn't find what I'm interested in knowing: what is the workload like for an average OPME course? I'm specifically interested in assignments and exams - do you have to write a paper? If...

Pretty funny little flash thing. Pretty political - if you're sensitive, don't click it. Makes fun of democrats/liberals and republicans/neocons but the republicans are the crux of most of the jokes. http://www.thefrown.com/frowners/becomerepublican.swf

I read a letter on the Toronto Star's website complaining of the lack of Canadian content in Michaelle Jean's new coat of arms, found here: http://www.gg.ca/heraldry/emb/03/index_e.asp While it seems kind of a petty thing to fault her for, I was curious as to people's perceptions. Aside from...

Humorous short video of an ultra-patriot. He's after my own heart with the federalist thing. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3569047631042022311

Alright, I searched and searched but didn't find anything on my question - if I missed something, my apologies. My question is about officers voluntarily demoting themselves to a non-commissioned status. If, for example, a Lt.wanted to resign his commission and become an NCM, would it require...

I'm just curious as to what the typical schedule is for infantry officers as far as weekends go. Is a 6 day week common or are you usually relatively free on weekends? I don't mind putting in time on weekends, I'm just curious as to what to expect. I suppose time in on the weekends would...

This discussion got started here: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/28255.0.html but was unrelated so I made a tangent thread. Funny, I was one of those kids in elementary and junior-high school - so much so that I was segregated into behavioral class (in elementary) and slowly reintegrated...

When I said "we" I meant the West, not Canada in particular - it was an attempt to appease the Ameriphiles. Canada's involvement with the ME has been primarily financial, as have the relevant portions of our alliances with the US and Britain. Arguing that modern Islamic terrorism in the West is...
