Hate to say this guys, but apparently it's not even the Canadian Armed Forces any more.  

But just the CF, or Canadian Forces.  Yep can't have "Armed" in there, people might think that the military is supposed to have weapons or something.


 *sigh*

 I know, I know...****ing Liberals.

Curval was right though, you have to have PERFECT vision.  THat is where most recruits get punted out.

On the up side anyone who gets accepted from the US gets treated to a free pint from me at 15 wing CFB Moose Jaw.


Moose Jaw is the upside?!?!?!  If so, can you imagine the downside?   :D

It has been the Canadian Forces for quite some time, i.e., prior to Chretien and his crew.  In any event, at least since 1992 or so.

Note that is is CFB Moose Jaw, not CAFB Moose Jaw = Canadian Forces Base not Canadian Armed Forces Base.
