Good luck! As Red Green puts it, "I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together" ;D

I see. Thanks for clearing that up. :-X

To get this thread off of ethnic diversity and hockey, and back on topic (remember we are in "International Situations & World News", not Radio Chatter): While it might be considered unorthodox, have people convicted of being involved in crimes like these ever been used as consultants? For...

I've read anecdotally about people getting fired because of "lost confidence", when in reality it turns out there were political actions behind the scene that affected it. I'm assuming damaging a missile scores high on the incompetence-meter? But then, if it was only one incident...would not...

Don't feel stupid; an Intranet is like a closed off version of the Internet. In this case, the Intranet is the DWAN (Defence Wide Area Network -- I believe.) It's a secure network only accessible through certain CF computers. I'll leave how to find such a computer to the people who know what...

Interesting, I met a girl while writing my CFAT in the same predicament, though several years older. I believe she choose Sup Tech in the end, though she wasn't happy about it.

Pardon my language, but what the hell is this movie supposed to be? Comedy? Drama? Dramedy? Historical fiction? I can't quite figure it out. Is it Spaceballs for World War II? It takes itself very seriously which after viewing the trailer made me confused since it comes off like a comedy...

I don't understand. 1. Woman makes comments. 2. Court orders her identity revealed for libel 3. Google complies with court order. 4. Woman sues Google? ???

When Code Pink were picketing Marine Corps recruiting centers a few years ago, it was noted in the American media that it was probably a benefit, for if a person couldn't bear to walk through a picket line they probably weren't cut out for the Marines anyway ;)

While I'm a civilian, I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume that everyone has heard of Army.ca, knows someone in the military well enough to discuss their career aspirations or has more than a fleeting idea of what they'd like to do before they see someone at a pavillion or talk to a...

The United States Air Force seems to think so, they've compiled a handy reading list: http://www.au.af.mil/au/aul/bibs/followership.htm

I understand; when I said courses I might enjoy, I meant it with the usual caveat of "if it's also in the Forces' needs and the stars are aligned and the dice rolled right, etc. etc."

Yes, I understand. I'm just a bit forward thinking. Thanks for the info though! :)

Sorry, just an example off memory. Good to know I'm wrong on that count though :) Oh, that's great to know. One of my concerns was that during my career (er, if I get a career) I'd miss out on courses I might enjoy because I wouldn't hear about them. Thanks for the clarifications! :) "MITE"...

Sorry to double-post, but I have something relevant to ask this time. Is there some reference (DIN or otherwise) that lists who is eligible to go on certain courses? For instance, I believe only Infantry and Armoured are eligible to go on the Recce Patrolman's Course, while other courses are...

So she wants to be compensated ~$310,000/day ($13,000/hour) for that time she spent in jail? Has the government deposited any $310,000 cheques that haven't cleared yet?

Thanks for the info :)

Is this the same course as the Basic HUMINT course talked about on here a few years ago (i.e. http://army.ca/forums/threads/21520.0.html)? If so, I wonder why they renamed it.

Very neat. I've seen and heard much about the British SOE operatives who went to Germany, but very little on the other side about Germans heading into British territories. Thanks for the info :)

This makes me think of the Lebanese-Canadians who fled back to Canada after their hostilities with Israel, got free health-care with their residency requirement waived, and I presume left again.
