Hello all: To be brief, I am about to finish a VOT + Unit transfer. I went from Infantry to Armour, and the recruiting officer of the receiving unit has asked me to provide a military CV and a cover letter.  I'm passingly familiar with military style writing, memos, etc, although I have been...

I am trying to go to CFSAC this year. I am currently away from my Regiment, and have been corresponding with my OR through phone and email. I thought my OR was working on booking a flight for this sunday, the 7th of Sept. However, I haven't heard any information from them at all regarding a...

I'm going to get my PAL very soon and I am looking to buy a pistol as my first firearm. I have narrowed my possible options down, but I am open to input from anyone who has fired these pistols or has another one to recommend. My basic question is, Is there a pistol i've missed? my pics: #1...

My search fu on here and the DIN has left me empty-handed. Does anyone know when CFSAC is happening this year? I'm trying to get the info sorted out so I can start to build a team. Any help would not go amiss. Cheers in advance.

I was perusing wikipedia and I came across an article on MANPADS, specifically the Starburst shoulder-fired SAM. The article listed Canada among its users, and naturally I was curious and somewhat confused. Can anyone clarify this article for me? I was under the impression that the only...

I did a search, but was unable to find anything relevant. I recently visited a Career Counsellor to map out my next moves in the Service. What i'd like to get confirmation on is: What is the length of service for an initial contract in the regular force? I was told the length was anywhere from...

As some of you know, the CLS authorized a try-and-buy for new load carriage options for the army. An email I read about DLR sending some people to Afghanistan and conducting interviews and questionnaires about kit issues was awful to read. As usual the conclusion of DLR was that the kit wasn't...

My first time posting an item for sale, but here goes: I recently (ie, today) purchased a Magellan Explorist 200 series GPS unit for super cheap, thus rendering my current GPS unit redundant. I bought the Etrex roughly 4 months ago for general field use. I realised after i had bought it that it...

I did a search for "patrol tunic" and "patrol tunic epaulettes" with no luck, so I decided to try my luck. I've got an upcoming mess function which requires me to wear a blue patrol tunic (it's actually an old Royal Roads cadet uniform) and I need to acquire a set of blue epaulettes to go along...
