    Swiss voters favour Islamic Minaret ban for local buildings

    I would have never thought the Swiss would do this (not going to add my personal opinion); When I was there I got the impression they are more Political Correct then us.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    I still think that the CBSA agents are told that CF members are terrorists.  I bet I would have a way easier time getting in if I said I was going to blow up something.  they also preceded to swab my combat kit for traces of explosives  ::) I was on a CF flight, with about 100 other guys in...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    CADPAT Rain Gear

    The rain gear issued in theater is the exact same as the new one home (except in AR).  My TW rain gear is sitting in KAF, and has been since April  ::)  It was a waste of space like many other items (green Tac Vest). The MOB is overweight (by Air Canada standards) empty, but it does a good job...

    HLTA

    Canada Customs didn't harass you more with the green passport? I used mine returning from an ex in the states, and they decided to be even bigger dicks then usual. Maybe it was the fact that we were on a military charter, in uniform, and had our ID's tucked into the passports  ::)
