Hello.
With the kind permission of Trevor May at Canadaka.net, there is something I wish to share with military trainees, both young and older. Our production company has recently created a documentary series entitles, 'Combat School'. It follows, for the first time ever, Canadian infantry soldiers as they undergo the most technologically advanced, intense and realistic combat training in military history. Our cameras shadow a platoon of 40 men and women from the time they commence their training until they are ready for real combat. The crew is then embedded with the platoon "outside the wire" in Afghanistan where the soldiers' skills are put to the test. 'Combat School' has already been aired on the Discovery Channel in Canada as it serves as an educational and insightful look at the men and women of the Canadian military as they undergo the rigorous training needed to become "battle ready". It has received glowing reviews, most notably from Brad Oswald of the Winnipeg Free Press, as well as Patricia Treble from MacLeans.
'Combat School' is now available on DVD, and can be ordered on line at

I encourage all those reading this post to consider making this documentary a part of your library. You won't be disappointed.
