Proud Canadian to the rescue.  At least I was close, forgot about the initial 200 points they would receive.

In a nutshell; as of 1 Aug 05, we will no longer receive the "clothing upkeep allowance".  In it's place is a point system.  This system is broken into 2 groups.  Group 1 being personell who wear their DEU's on a regular basis... ie : NDHQ.  Group 2, pretty much everyone else.  So if you happen...

I'm glad that Cpl. Ainsworth Dyer, Sgt. Marc Leger, Pte. Richard Green and Pte. Nathan Smith will be remembered in such a way.  The loss to their families, to 3VP and the task force as a whole will never be forgotten. Rakkasan

Pieman;  I caught the CDS' speech when he came through Winnipeg.  The impression I got was, if he says he wants it done in 5 years than he will make it happen.  The only problem is, when was the last time we had a CDS for a 5 year term.  I like this CDS and I hope he gets his way. Now back to...

I tend to agree with most of the posts on this one.  The guy shooting the video had 58 mins of footage and we see a cut down 6:31.  That is too much editing to make a fair decision on whether or not the PM was actually interested. I got the feeling that he was at the whim of his handler.  She...

I agree with Ex-Dragoon on this one Amber.  If there is a military unit that is close by, you could try taking them and showing them a little of what the life is like.  Most places will be more than happy to take someone on a tour and help them understand.  If there isn't you, maybe there is a...

I have to agree with Blackhorse on this.   He and I did basic together, trained together and partied together.   The Garry's are a family.   Once a Garry always a Garry.   I also still have my coin ( thanks to FGH_Recce_DJ) and I still have my jacket. Future Unknown,  you wanted some high...

I went to the recruiting page last night on "www.dnd.ca" .  They show the bonus at $10,000 if you have school and if you are skilled its at $20,000.  We both know someone working recruiting Blackhorse.  You should e-mail him or call him, to get all the details.

Best thing to do is check with CFHA.  Everybase has it's own rules.  For example; here in Winnipeg it all depends on which PMQ's you are in.

Go with the Personal....I got stuck with CAA and had a claim and couldn't get away from them.  With that said, spend a day calling around to everyplace in the book and get quotes, it's the best and safest idea you can do.  Or you can cheat and keep the MB insurance if you have a place you can...

It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.  And thankfully for me (I'm AVN), here in Winnipeg it sucks to be a TRAFFIC TECH.

Let's try that again. Blackhorse7; FGH_Recce_DJ is right!  There is nothing to be ashamed about.  We as a country mourned the loss of those 4 hero's.  Hero's because the joined a group of people who are willing to lay down their lives if necessary to protect us.  Your loss and the loss of all...

Blackhorse7;

Blackhorse7; Yup, couldn't spell ten years ago....didn't need to, I had you and chief to do all the spelling....I was there to keep you out of jail.  I'll remember to use spell check next time....helps with the hunt and peck style of typing I do. Bug ya later    :salute:

Blackhorse;  go to www.stratconas.ca  and you will find a link to their kitshop.

Strike There synthetic bags available.  If your buddy is allergic than he will need a chit from the MO and then supply will get one.  I've know a few guys who have gotten new sleeping bags because of this allergy.  They say the bags are warmer as well. Hope this helps

As for going into harms way.     What do you call most of the missions? Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Somalia, AfAfghanistanYes, only Kosova involved US sending MBT's, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have in other areas. Alright I'll coconceden the wording of my statement.  I should have not...

Blackhorse, as you will remember....when you're mounted: there's always room for the BBQ and cooler, when you're dismounted make friends with the SQ/CQ and have his crew carry the BBQ for you. Other than that, Mrs. Dash, Louisiana Hot Sauce and a good knife. Armoured...the only way to go on EX  8)
