An interesting footnote to thisstory would be the follow up story on missing nuclear weapons in Canadian territory. The one that comes to mind is a B-36 that crashed in BC during the early 1950’s. One H-bomb was recovered from the peak it impacted on, the other remains missing after being jettisoned over coastal islands. There remain others, but that is the most obvious.

Do reservists have the opportunity to engage in this kind of operations

@randy1189every member of the canadian military must complete bmq

[@nickwongsburth3550]

@randy1189 Reservists don't get the same opportunity as regular force clearance divers (CD) do, specifically in terms of explosives ordinance disposal, and currently there are no clearance diver reserve positions. The closest you can get to the CD role while being a part-time reservist is by being a Port Inspection Diver (PID). These folks primarily perform underwater searches and surveys in harbors and jetties. In this role, you can work with CD's and its an excellent starting point if you're interested in maybe becoming a CD at some point. You'll need to complete BMQ for any trade, any element in the CAF regardless. Also its important to note that to be a CD you'll have to pass an special selection course plus a multi-month trades course before you officially become one.

Lower the vision standards they're higher than the US infantry the New Zealand infantry and the U.K. Infantry. Our soldiers aren't any more or less trained than that of the U.K. Or the US I doubt yet here I am waiting for a months for replies from our government. Swell very swell.

Why should they lower the vision standards?
