Valentine is my cousin! Awesome guy and so are the rest of them. Kick ass guys!

[@tannerrennat7786]

Visit the museum in Calgary each of regiments have distinct and interesting wings. Plus the boat stuff. Plus the plane stuff. I got to touch a T-72, was pretty taken with the place. Sorry I just drove past it for so many years.

[@reidvanderwerff4515]

Yeah that T-72 in the front is awesome, touched it obsessively

[@pacificpil]

My nephew Garrett William Chidley was killed in the IED attack along with Michelle and the other 3 soldiers

[@supergene256]

H JONES God have mercy on his soul. I’m so thankful for his sacrifice.

4:09 - Never thought I'd see a C7 bayonet on a C6 before...

[@MrCsepregi]

we are so lucky to be Canadians

[@marichuserut4210]

Ruth. The. Outing

[@sweetsounds152]

...did I see a bayonet on that C6? 4:10

[@therealgsicht]

It would appear so, and a RWS mounted one at that. I think we see the same again at 6:06 on the right.

[@mouthbreather280]

Ikr smh 🤦‍♂️ They can put more useful things on a machine gun. No modern military uses bayonets these days, not even on their standard issue rifles let alone vehicle mounted machine guns. I don’t know what Canada is thinking with that. 🤷‍♂️

[@kunfang5604]

It's probably just for the photo. It's held on with a piece of rope

[@teodorogerald]

4:10 The real question here is....why does the C6 has a C7 bayonet when it can't obviously stab when it's meant to mow/ suppress some dudes?

[@TheMrfreedomrequired]

The real question is why we didnt keep the FN......thats what i grew up with in the military

[@kunfang5604]

Probably just for the photo. It's held on with a piece of rope

[@alvindurochermtl]

@@TheMrfreedomrequired It was a NATO-wide decision. In theory if you use smaller calibre rounds each soldier could carry more rounds hence more firepower. But now I think most armies have realized that 5.56 NATO rounds don't have enough stopping power at the 7.62 rounds.

[@joeybattlefieldv2641]

Respect

[@aidanbegovic9584]

0:35 wasnt this guy on truth duty valor?

[@oshaughnessyrof5201]

Here I am considering active duty now I'm back to thinking reserves

[@oshaughnessyrof5201]

southern Ontario

[@devilmod3210]

put some thought to it, Reserves is an entirely separate thing from the military compared to the full time Regular forces, both have their ups and downs. I'm sure you know the differences between the two. Civilian life VS pure military life, and of course the income. Reserves allows you to have a full time career as a civilian, often they can accommodate your full time job pretty well as long as you continue to show dedication to the reserves and not sign up just to keep the uniform hanging in your rear window to avoid speeding tickets.

[@fezii9043]

You can still go on tour on reserves, only when you come back you have nobody to turn too.

[@wustenfuchs3285]

OShaughnessy ROF best way to do it IMO is join the reserves first for your basic course, then after a year or two with your home unit you can decide if full time is right.

[@nacholibre1962]

13:51 Righ there!

[@noormadibmdnoormdnoor6477]

We are hero and after 20 years of war,we decided to give them our weapon and they can shoot at us.That is our main plan.

[@paulflak2823]

FNA From ret cpl KOCR, I took on roles as a contractor clearing land mines in Cambodia and Iraq to free up assets for you. To those civilian scrum haters get out of our country, if you cross our path and state your ideas, it will not be healthy for you!
