> An unofficial study app for the Canadian Armed Forces: active-recall flashcards on ranks, structure, training, history and acronyms, with a daily review.

CAF Guide is an active-recall flashcard app for learning about the Canadian Armed Forces: its structure, ranks, training and history, plus a lookup dictionary of military acronyms.

Each card shows only the question. You answer in your head, reveal the answer and rate yourself; cards you know come back after growing gaps (1, 3, 7, 16, 35, then 90 days), and the home page gathers every due card into a daily review. It is an unofficial study aid, not affiliated with or endorsed by DND or the CAF.

Who it's for: Recruits, applicants and anyone learning about the Canadian Armed Forces
