Mark Anthony Graham (May 17, 1973 in Gordon Town, Jamaica - September 4, 2006 in Panjwaii, Afghanistan) was a Canadian Olympic athlete and soldier who died while participating in Operation Medusa during the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Graham grew up in Hamilton, Ontario, lived in Calgary, Alberta and had been stationed at CFB Petawawa in Ontario. He attended Chedoke Middle School and then Sir Allan MacNab Secondary School in Hamilton, then the University of Nebraska and later Kent State in Ohio on track-and-field scholarships. On September 4, 2006 Graham was killed in a friendly fire incident when two USAF A-10 Thunderbolts fired on his platoon, having mistaken them for Taliban insurgents. www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/report-says-american-pilot-responsible-for-canadian-soldiers-death/article1078359/ www.cbc.ca/1.569572

If only our government spent more than 0.9% of the GDP on national defense, we'd be even better than we already are. We should be spending 2-3% easy, which is more comparable to all of the most advanced militaries in the world. We should be spending more on the navy seeing as we have a massive coast. Currently, we rely on the US for naval support.

@areuswhite9670 7 жыл бұрын

Cs go giveaway Guy - Why not? It's good for economy, it's good for world influence, It's good for international dealings, good for international relations, and it makes us more independent as a country. Why wait for war when we can be ready always? I live near a military base, and when we watch our navy ships go by it's utterly embarrassing. They are rusted and dated, and can barely move. Even Australia, our twin colonial brother spends 2%, and has a more prestigious and respected military. We're the second largest country on earth and we can't even defend it currently... We have to rely on big brother USA, and that means we owe them when it comes to trade deals. We have the money.. We can spend 2% of our income to protect our country. Hell, I'm sure you spend more than that for house insurance, and medical coverage, surely. Our country state should do the same.

From Captain J.B. Paulin in a speech given at the Empire Club of Canada, Toronto, Ontario, on May 23, 1918. They are called “The storm troops of the British Empire” by the Kaiser, and his own “storm troops” are the biggest men of his various divisions; and when he speaks of the Canadians as being the “storm troops,” it means that in his estimation, they are the best troops of the British Empire.

from the primary reserve, yes it did. At the time it wasn't open and thus they would not let me apply. So I applied for field engineer, with the infantry as my second choice.

@user-yj2fy1nk1i 7 жыл бұрын

Officer Cadets at RMC do not skip ranks simply because of their education. The only trades in the Forces that are commissioned at the rank of Captain or Lt(N) from the outset are trades that require professional qualifications outside of the Forces e.g. Medical Officers (must already be qualified physicians before enrollment), Legal Officers (must already be qualified lawyers before enrollment) etc. None of these trades are available as direct enrollment following ROTP at RMC. RMC graduates are promoted from the rank of Officer Cadet to Lieutenant upon graduation. Any deviation from this would be incredibly rare. Back up your story about becoming a captain after only four years at RMC, with a link to an official DND source, and I will retract my post. ,

I would assume that your buddy is pretty checked out as he is in Recce. Sometimes you gotta be in the right place at the the right time to go over seas. generally it is a few years between deployments as a battalion, but sometimes smaller tours come up where they will send just a company of men. I got 3 of those.

@patlap1990 Don't get your hopes up on that one any time soon. Task Force 1-11 is the final Battle Group going to Afghanistan. They left two days ago. As of December our operations in Afghanistan are going to be training only, and for that you need Mod 6; which gets you your Master Corporal rank. There are still plenty of other opportunities, just let them know when you get to your unit what courses you want to take, and don't turn down any that they offer, even if it is not one you wanted.
