Is it too harsh to say that the countries with any influence and resources in the U.N. other than Russia, China and a few others are NATO Member countries? A U.N. force I imagine would be made up from the majority the NATO Members, and U.N. mandates usually won't pass without the consent of NATO...

From my understanding, we won't need much from home in the first few weeks at the college anyhow. At least that's what I've gathered after FYOP is finished with. Worst case scenario, we'll have to wait and see.

"Stanley, see this? This is this. This ain't something else. This is this. From now on, you're on your own."

Accepted today. Infantry Officer. Military and Strategic Studies. IAP begins July 3rd.

Well I'd have to say this was the exact sort of info I was looking for. My trade will be within the combat arms, most likely infantry. I gather I'd be deployed at least once during my first 3 year contract, making things difficult, though not impossible. Thanks for the input. I wanted nothing...

Thanks for the replies. It's funny how I didn't hesitate to believe that I absolutely need a degree. When it comes down to it, a degree on it's own is really nothing more than a highschool diploma these days. But putting it into context-a degree or a commission-makes a lot more sense. To be...

I'm 19, applying for ROTP. If I'm rejected I've thought of two things, the latter of the two in which I need some insight to. #1 Join the reserves while earning my degree. #2 Join the Reg Force and earn a degree part-time. I've been on the continuing ed  website and I'm under the impression that...

I'd much rather suffer from heat stroke several times over than not get a course this summer. In any case I think it's out of my hands.

Believe me I know how you feel. A friend of mine who recently joined my local unit here in Brampton told me that they've started slotting people for September weekend BMQ already. As well a friend in London informed me that summer courses don't have many spots at all. I'm hoping I'm wrong...

On the same topic of reserves in the summer...I've applied for an ROTP position. I'm planning on joining the reserves if I'm not selected. I've heard that reserve summer BMQ is filling up fast, if not already filled up. My question is: Is it possible for my local unit to save me a BMQ spot even...

If you're serious about it, apply next year to use the prep year as your grade 12. I'm pretty sure you can do that.

One brokeback over the cuckoo's nest

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but a relatively new film that was released to dvd is "Lord of War" with Nicholas Cage. About a Ukranian illegal arms dealer. A very dark comedy and a very good film.

I play lots of classical and jazz guitar. I've got a nylon string yamaha and an eletric ibanez...both not exactly high quality but they get the job done on the available budget. But I can't say I don't play the odd Neil Young, Pink Floyd or CCR... A great site used to be www.powertab.net using...
