    OT to MP (Occupation Transfer)

    note- the police foundations program is a community college program, not university.  Just to clear up any potential confusion.

    OT to MP (Occupation Transfer)

    Just curious, I have a police foundations diploma, and am considering going into MPs after an initial Infantry hitch (assuming after Infantry I want to join the MPs), was wondering if that diploma will be regarded as an equivilant of the two law-related university credits?  Or will I have to...

    Favourite War Movies

    What do you all think of the movie Tigerland?  (if it hasn't been mentioned already) I thought it was pretty good, a little unorthadox (as far as war movies go) but I dunno...what do you guys in the service think about it?

    Enlisting (question regarding BMQ)

    Well, first of all, you guys aren't my drill instructors, this isn't BMQ, and this IS the reaction you can expect when people who apparently have nothing better to do with their lives but attempt to destroy my self-confidence, back me into a corner and start laying into me, questioning my desire...

    Enlisting (question regarding BMQ)

    Listen pal, my enthusiasm doesn't spawn from the fact that I want to go out and kill and be a hero and junk like that.  My enthusiasm comes from the desire to be in an occupation that matters.  I'd be happy as hell if I never went to Afghanistan and had to be shot at (keener yes, ignorant of the...

    Yankee a racial slurr?

    Yeah...like Sarge.  Wonder how he likes that one.

    USN Cant Give Away Spruance DD's

    I'm guessing it's cost of upkeep/maintenance that's preventing a lot of potentially buyers from aquiring these ships.  You spend x-billion dollars buying however many, then on top of that you have to standardize all of the equipment so it functions with whatever indigenous equipment they want...

    Yankee a racial slurr?

    Yanks, Brits, Canucks...I think they all fall into the same category, definitely not racially motivated, especially considering 'American, Britian or Canadian' aren't races (cultural slur?).  It might not have been the word itself that got the sergeants ire, but maybe he felt your tone was...

    Cover me, I'm going in

    Look, if you want everyone's opinions to be streamlined, then fine, I'll shut up and stop contributing my thoughts on subjects.  Personally, I'm not corrupted by articles and doctrine and all these other things which obviously are important, but I'm speaking purely from a independant standpoint...

    Recruiting Posters, Slogans and Commercials [Merged]

    Christ, does everyone have to turn everything into a personal attack on these board?  Jeeze, freedom of opinion was invented for a reason there... Besides which, I didn't say I necessarily BELIEVED in the whole army of one (if you read my post thoroughly, you'd notice I said much of it was...

    Cover me, I'm going in

    Also, there may have been confusion of my usage of pro-active war.  What I was generally referring to was the fact that Canada as part of the greater NATO operation in Afghanistan are not simply on the defense, but are engaging the enemy offensively.  Operation Medusa for instance.

    Cover me, I'm going in

    Hmmm, I agree and disagree with your statement on pro-active, reactive war.  The thing is, I would whole-heartedly agree with you that it was a reactionary war IF allied countries had been attacked by Afghanistan as a state.  But we weren't.  We were attacked by terrorist factions existing...

    Cover me, I'm going in

    Retreat is generally the natural reaction for most people when they see our people getting killed.  Fight or flight.  I would venture that the highly educated types, the ones that cry foul whenever a soldier is killed and demand our troops pull out, are the type of individuals who would rarely...

    USN Cant Give Away Spruance DD's

    Oh, I know that, but they'll find a way to make it blow up, they always do! ps. I don't really think the Mythbusters will get one of those ships.  The above was just an attempt at humor which clearly failed.

    To make em 'splode of course.  Isn't that what they do on that show?  Blow stuff up?
