I'd consider it.  The CF would still be my main choice, but if something happens that would make the CF less desirable to join, or more difficult (budget cutbacks, personel reductions, etc.), then yes, I'd consider the USMC.

Hey, Don't bash the kid. You were all 16 at one point , too .   ;D ;D

Only 5 credits? According to the DND Recruiting website So, minimum of 16 and Grade 10, which is roughly 16 credits (when I was in High School).

You could make one. Look up some cool images from the net (www.militaryphotos.net is a good resource. Lots of pictures posted daily on their forum). Just grab some good ones, and throw together a funky poster, and post "JTF-2" at the top. Of course, make sure you document where you get the...

Yeah, they had three seasons, Scotland, Borneo and Nambia.

What makes you think we aren't?

That's the first time I've seen what an Eotech looks like through the sight.  Pretty cool. Looks like fun to shoot.

Because your personal doctor knows your heath better than someone who only has your file to go over.  They're also in a better position to administer tests to double check your health than someone on the other side of the country.

Howabout a uniform? It could get pretty cold with just some socks to cover you. Unless you're one of the RHCP, then socks are all you need.

Racism? :P

Don't worry about it....it's better than thinking it's 2.4 KM if it was actually 2.4 miles.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are they used for?

Actually, if you look at the post right above mine, the poster is asking if this is a common thing (well, that's the impression I get when I read it), and I was saying that it was (and a little bit of why).

It's quite common for soldiers to compliment (or "replace") thier issued gear with personal, after-market equipment so that they are better able to do their job. Items can range from things that the issued equivalent might be lacking in areas or are uncomfortable for the soldier (restricting...

Scanner's working, just need to dig out the flyer, again.
