I didn't exactlty know where to put this, but I was just looking for this chart that had the Army, Air Forice and Navy way of saying certain things.  This was kind of a gag/morale chart. said things like this for example Washroom = Army: Latrine / Navy: Heads / Air Force: spa Deployment =...

I have to ask since I RARELY see people do chin-ups and push-ups properly, and logically by you being able to do 20+ chin-ups your body should be used to holding your weight.  Are you doing full dead hang pull ups, by full I mean full arm extension (aka ARMS STRAIGHT, then bar to chin or chest)

Standards do in fact exist, but generally speaking, for Police, Military and a few other things the standards are different...yet we do the same job.

^^^^^^^ In ref to Joual...it is considered low class french/hillbilly french and/or slang equivalent to ebonics or msn speak to english. Quebec french IS proper french, when it is employed as it is taught in the books/manuals and established/accredited schools.  In said proper french we simply...

So its just a case of them speaking poorly in general not, that their orders are supposed to sound like that, awesome...thought I was going nuts  :o

One of her titles is still Queen of Canada... We didn't fight/get independence like the USA, we're a Dominion.

Might seem like a silly question, but I thought i'd ask it anyway, but with the caveat that i'm admitting this is an awkward question. I've caught a few US military shows as well as news reports, and i'm just wondering if when they give orders and/or drill they purposefully try to sound...

There's also a Goju-Ryu dojo in the Rec plex, operated by Renshi (6th dan) Kyle Taylor

In ref to the GP boots being cheap, they cost the Gov about 200$ I don't know about you guys but for 200$ i can get a way more comfortable/usable pair of boots. In ref to the AF and Navy having their own boots, this is both true and false, the Navy boots are shipboard boots...meaning sailors...

Actually there are better options (then bb.com), that are also Canadian as far as online supplements, they also usually include free shipping on order of 99$ and up. - whey-factory.com - sndcanada.com - befit.ca - fitshop.ca - pumphousenutrition.ca - rippedcanadians.com - pumpdsupplements.com -...

Fixed for you. I have to say I definitely applaud her, in that things are already chaotic enough at basic, but to go that extra for her faith, is truly awesome. although I must say i'm slightly annoyed at the whole white, blonde haired, blue eyed comment...being that 1. thats typically a...

I respond in kind to what I receive. I won't snap to all proper and like to someone who follows me around on here and CONSTANTLY tries to get a rise out of me.  He's made it a history of getting in my face, so to speak for no apparent reason. Like the saying goes respect is earned.  Just like...

Thats where pay level incentives could be changed, to allow for those that do not have leadership qualities or WANT the leadership responsibilities but enjoy their job/trade and are good at it. Or they could think of doing something along the lines of other militaries where they have members of...

Wallace as idiotic as your argument was...i'm still compelled to answer.  I made the comment about the Fleece having a flap, because then that would imply it can be worn over the combat shirt, because your most outer layer other then the white TACTICAL camo has to have a rank designator on it. ...

Sadly Garb, this can be said of many a trade in the CF. The prospective member gets all hyped up because of what the recruiter and/or videos say...only to find out that things are nowhere near what he/she was told.

This is about the dress regs but not the cadpat jacket with DEU. i've seen/heard many different things depending on the base i'm at, or who i'm talking to, i'm wondering if it actually is written black on white (or whatever permutation you like) if the CADPAT fleece sweatshirt is to be worn...

Oh I completely agree!! in the MP O video, they show them doing CP, and investigations with the National Investigative guys, and what not, as well as being in Patrol uniform and busting down a door or going in a home or something, but they also show being a platoon commander. That's mainly what...

GARB: to be fair, the recruiting video doesn't mention a whole lot of desk riding. 

Generally speaking they have a few different things that factor in to the promotion equation/system, you get points for: - Tours/deployments - medals/awards - FITREP (fitness report) etc Here are some examples I found: http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/blafprompoints.htm (USAF)...

It depends which branch, they all have slight differences, but generally there is a minimum number of reps or time alotted for a set distance, and a specific amount of points dedicated to that result, and anything better or worse is given a different value in points. At the end the points are...
