As an American. I have a respect for Canadian Armed Forces. You guys gave your lives up in WW1 at lost plenty of men to the Germans.WW2 you had our backs at Normandy and other places. And in Afghanistan where brave men and women fight for the Allied Collation. I salute you Canada!
As a Medical Person , Still , Serving with N.A.T.O. & a Canadian , ,, Thank-you , Gambler CrisislsFake ... !!! Means a lot to hear !!! We are North Americans , & will always have each others Back !!!

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.
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.
Yes I 100% agree, we dont even have enough ships to guard our coastline. Especially in the North where there are hardly ever any ships up there on patrol, any other country could just waltz in their and take the area.
In a town called Nunspeet there live alot of my friends, Whom I often visit, and still to this day, I can see many Canadian flags hanging from the windows of houses, what you guys did for us in ww2 hasn't gone by unnoticed, thanks...
@CDLkooper142 I'm 17 and I joined the army reserves when I was 16, it is not to be taken lightly.It is pretty hard and stressful at times, just begin with your goal in mind and stay focused on your goal. If you stay focused and determined I assure you that you will love it and see the guys that you go through BMQ with as a second family, cause I know that I do.
i like seeing this video, one because it is informative. the second is because i look at Pte. Mark Graham and see how he loves it there and how they are family. glad to see him smiling and loving the feeling of family in the military. RIP. Pte. Mark Graham, your death will not go in vain.
My dad and grandfather were in the army in S. Korea (mandatory), so I think I have to go join the Canadian Forces as I have a Canadian nationality, but my mom says it's too dangerous to go overseas and that the education and pay is pretty low, is that true at all?
ohh so is it hard to get into infantry though? would it require a lot of studying and high marks on the cfat? or is it the easiest field to get into? thanks in advance :)
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. The process is long and slow sometimes. An opening in the infantry came up and a month later I was puking my guts out during PT in Meaford Ontario. lol
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.
You can but you have to do something called a component transfer, and the trade has to open for intake for you to even apply. It took me 18 months to get in that way. Best bet is to just apply for reg force if that is what you want.
@patlap1990 What tubby doesn't tell you is that the Marines are like their own military, they have their own trades; from infantry, to pilots, to photographers and cooks. What trade are you going?
hello i joining the Canadian Army reserves can anyone answer how reservist deployment works.(I know its voluntary) but, Do you ask to be deployed or does the unit asks you to go on a deployment and you choose whether or not you want to go?
@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.
i have a question, i`m 13 and i want to join the army and become a sniper , other then studying the army is there anything else i can do to improve my future
@xFogxofxWarx thanks a lot for the tips! I figure I'm juste going to keep giving 150% of my efforts no matter what they say!! I'm looking forward to the experience!! I'm looking forward to have the opportunity to go overseas!!!
can someone please give me some advice on the cfat(aptitude test) im looking to get into infantry and i was just wondering if its hard to get into? like what scores would i need to get to get into infantry?
my cousin served alongside Canadian GI's and told me they where well trained, reliable soldiers. i look forward to serving alongside someday now that i am also in the dutch army.
man, i was just watching an older video that was uploaded in 2006 (coaches corner, rememberance day), and the guy they feature at 4:50, Pvt Mark Graham is listed as KIA... just the fact that i watched both that video and this one almost one after an other kinda makes that a bit disconcerting... specially seeing as this video was only uploaded in 2009. haha obviously this is not an up to date video ;).
The cool thing is, I plan on joining the RMC (Royal Military College) and becoming a Captain in only 4 years of schooling. I bet it will be fun, and challenging
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'm from brazil, and i want to move to canada when i'm 18, and i'd really like to join the Canadian Army. What is required from an immigrant to join the army??? thanks
How?? I went down to newyork to enlist in the United States marine corps and they said I needed to revoke my Canadian citizenship to enlist in any branch. Did your get to keep your citizenship?? I'm now headed back up to Canada to enlist because they accept duel citizens.
+Evan Nevidomsky yes, i lost my canadian citizen ship during the process. it wasnt a big deal to me since i was already living in the states. its easy to get it back after youre finished serving though so keep that in mind
Reg force infantry has a waiting list a kilometer long dude. Hell i wanna CT from the reserves and they still have no idea how long that'll be. Just wait and hope.
I'm 15 and I know for a fact that this is what I want to do I have done all my research and I know what to expect, I have to push myself like I never have before if you could give me any tips of what I can do to prepare myself that would be great even though I'm 2 years away, thought I would start early :)
Thanks buddy ! how long does it take to get a diploma and how hard is it ? (im sure I could just search this, but you seam helpful :P :) ) .. and how hard do you expect the RCMP course is ? (I play alot of sports and work out, I also have high 80's grades) anyways thanks for the help !
@xFogxofxWarx I'm going in as a vehicule tech! Can't wait to be there! I have to do the full soldiers training a St-Jean at the recruits school and afterwards I'll be going to borden ontario for 8 months at the canadian forces mechanics school!!! Its only 2 days away!! starting basic training saturday!!!
take your time finish school first,and be patient as the process takes months even a year just to be able to go get to go to basic military qualification ( I know from experience), also stay out of trouble a record no matter how small can effect your career before you even start it. Good luck to you :)
@chadberry75 It's not full, the Training Schools are full, when people graduate, it will open again. Trades like JAG Lawyers, Physicians or Dentists ARE full, and this until they say otherwise.
@patlap1990 Borden is a good base. Don't get too stressed about Basic. They play games with you intentionally. Things don't make sense for a reason, and you will not make all of your timings; it's intentional. Just take the punishment and keep your mouth shut and you won't get into trouble. It's actually a lot of fun.
thank u for that im pround to call you my friend to and i like how u show us that their are actully amercians who like us and just dont hate on us all the time
i have a question..a stupid one though :( was just wondering how long it takes a private rank reservists to get to chief warrant officer the last ncm rank ?
could anyone give me some information ? I am 15 ( birthday is in july, turning 16) and looking to join, but I have hopes of joining the MP, how is applying for the MP different from what is shown ?
i away wanted to go into army now. I'm 16 and can't wait to join but, im little afaird of what it would be like not sure. So how it like anyone? and thank you
@m1up did you pass 2nd grade because I can't understand a word you said,did you bother to proofread your statement after you typed it or do you just think that all your misspelled words are actually spelled that way? and as i said to the other lameo that likes to stand up for his military but not fight in it. if you need verification that I am in the army you can make a trip to 4th brigade 1st armored division in fort bliss El paso texas and you can come find me.
I served in the regular force infantry, and I deployed 3 times in 4 years. Most of the guys I was in with were sent overseas a lot as well. If you don't go overseas and you are in an operational unit (especially infantry) then you are probably not good enough to go overseas, and your career will be short
@0neofthem Pte Mark Graham was killed in a friendly fire incident when an American A-10 Thunderbolt II mistakenly straffed his platoons position. Another soldier whom was from my local area was also wounded in the incident. In 2008 he was killed in an IED attack, his name was Robert Mark McLaren ~Thanato
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.
It would have been faster if I left the reserves, but I would have had to wait 6 months to even apply. At the time I was serving under a full time contract. So rather than be unemployed while applying I decided it would be best to earn a pay cheque while I wait to join the Reg force. even though it took a long time.
R.I.P Mark Anthony Graham, you will be missed and remembered as a true Canadian hero that made the ultimate sacrifice.

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.
@PcGamerPaul its 16 im going to basic next summer 17 is for regular force
Where are you from?
It would have been faster if I left the reserves, but I would have had to wait 6 months to even apply. At the time I was serving under a full time contract. So rather than be unemployed while applying I decided it would be best to earn a pay cheque while I wait to join the Reg force. even though it took a long time.
@WarrenAch Im 16 in the reserves and im not treated like shit?
