Bomb know-how, parts and training, likely comes from many places and not just Iran.  IEDs are not necessarily sophisticated devices so building and using them takes more will and access to materials than brains. Iran would love to see a Shia dominated Iraq.  Assisting the Sunni insurgency...

Para, you subversive *&$&^&!  It took me along time to stop saying "like" and use the English language properly no thanks to my sister who assassinates casual conversation with the very latest of hip-hop-retro-bohemian-futurist-teenaged-gotta-be-me lingo everytime she gets.  It has to be, like...

Theres good info on this site and on the 'net.  Check out Paracowboy's thread on Shin Splints. The sit-ups performed in the CF Express test involve the abs, the back, and the legs.  If you're starting a PT routine, work your way up slowly as not to injure yourself. If you're finding a body...

I guess one could state it's better to get the right tool for the job. As described ambiguously in the article, the UCAV or the example of the Predator is useful in an air to ground capability.   Though technology will improve the capabilities of remote aircraft in the future, the article...

Maurauder > < Dallaire has been through a review process.  If he was found guilty of negligence or criminal actions, it would be been well identified by now.  So far, just personal opinion varies.  Dallaire was placed into Rwanda under the UN.  He was tasked by the UN and provided with...

I wasn't able to find the article on the canada.com site or a reference while searching so my understanding of the article is limited.  However, I feel it is likely possible the reporter took alot out-of-context. The idea of making a majority of the members only undertake short term contracts...

However, the Enterprise's shields are tuning for specific frequencies.  If the Star Destroyer's "lasers" are not adjustable in wavelength, then the Enterprise's shields would be extremely effective at repulsing the energy.  Wide photon torpedo detonations would disable or destroy mass-launched...

You've stated your opinion and usually opinions are what we have when we don't have all the facts. If we had all the facts, we wouldn't need opinions. Alot of your statements like "...doing nothing to stop the murder of troops under his command...", "..He failed...", "...He left his men to...

I suspect a great number of strange broadcasts may be non-espionage in nature. There are alot of ham operators and ham operated repeaters around the world and some have their own proprietary methods of communication or identification. Not everyone follows RF transmission rules and the technos...

There is two issues here.  One is of teamwork.  The other is the performance of a member in SQ and the reaction to it. Teamwork is the combined actions of some or all members to make sure the platoon overcomes an obstacle or challenge.  In other words, the whereforall as a group to get the...

This may not be in your case, but alot of CMTT befuddles occur due to ambiguous shipping addresses, contacts, and item descriptions.  Make sure you get a copy of the CARF and the destination/contact address is bang on.  A contractor shipped a piece of equipment to me while on tour and I never...

Want a bit of early 1970s retro-futuristic british sci-fi?  Check out these links: http://www.torrentspy.com/directory.asp?mode=sub&id=530 http://ufoseries.com/ Its old but fun to watch.  I like the purple haired girls.  Mmmmmm... ...Moonbase girls.

The air force has a process to re-enrol ex-members. http://www.airforce.gc.ca/cardocs/re_enrol_e.asp The link specifies pilots and technicians but I'v met several re-enrolled members over my time in various MOCs and elements.   

Theres alot of factors that determine the best aircraft fit; logistics, maintenance, parts provision, cost of everything, roles, base support, politics, etc.  The CF acquired the CF-18 for many reasons but one being the ability of the aircraft to be proficientat multi-roles; interceptor...

Or how the Danish Air Force was fleeced by a Santa.... :blotto:

Great post GregC!

Enfield The idea of a pre-BMQ processing is a valid idea.  However, looking back, only one person in my BMQ platoon VR'd.  Likely would have been picked-up in pre-BMQ processing.  A good portion of my platoon (30%) never made it past QL3.  There are several common reasons for it (medical...

In reference to the Air Reserve, I haven't verified the statistics but it wouldn't surprise me. However, most air force MOCs are skilled trades and many reg force retirees stay in the military for class B/C service to supplement incomes.  There may be a reliance on the air reserve but many are...

And it wouldn't stop there.  The training system would require additional instructors and resources for post-BMQ members from QL3 to QL5.  The problem isn't specific to BMQ/QL2. Haggis, your second paragraph makes sense to find the creme de la creme of front line units to perform instructor...

Pfc_Norup, I'd recommend you visit Thule AFB sometime.  Walk up along the ridges towards the water and look out.  This will provide enough perspective to understand how ridiculous the Hans Island issue is due to the close proximity of Ellesmere Island and Greenland.  The strait isn't that wide. ...
