Ending should be amended to read: With Britain nursing a broken hand and with France writhing in the corner from a self-inflicted groin punch, Canada and Australia gang up on Germany, knocking its teeth out, kicking it in the solar plexus, and shattering one of its knees.  America waits till...

If anyone's looking at efficiency, they should go through all the headquarters first and cut all the redundancy then, as stated previously, find out how much is being wasted re-furbishing rusted out equipment vs replacing it outright.  They're spending dollars to save dimes.  There's also no...

If you don't want to end up doing a lot of admin, don't go officer.  Simple as that.  With your math degree they might dangle an opportunity for all sorts of things from clerical to engineering.  The important thing is what you'd like to get out of your experience and/or your career...

The most important thing about heartbeats is as follows: If you have one, you'll pass your BMQ

His unit is only doing its job as he's back on their books.  Units are being pressured to have maximum turnout for events, and since they're aware he's back he's expected to turn out.  If he has rank, then they're probably hoping for him to assume a leadership position, and if nothing else they...

I hope that this is just temporary until the fiscal year starts on 1 April.  Either way, it looks like there won't be much for March madness this year.  If this persists into the next fiscal year then I honestly people should get their honoraries involved.  After all, if after the last eight...

The problem is that there are typical politicians who are naive opportunists, and then there are people like Ujal Dosanj who are in their own category.  This is very ironic that in doing what he is doing he is providing aid to one strain of terrorist when, a few years ago, he was left for dead...

Not too long after we brought our boy home, he was having a sustained crying session and I thought I should try to sing to him.  The only song that came into my head was "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, so I did an improvised lullaby.

Will she still be coming if we get kicked out of the commonwealth for not falling for the climate change hysteria, like what's being threatened?

No surprise about a second tier of health care for pro sports franchises.  Hell, if they had to they could just fly someone down to the USA for treatment.  They've got the $$$, so nothing stopping them there. Nevertheless, they're sadly mistaken if this really changes anything because ...

Snr NCOs and Offrs messing together?  I don't know how the Snr NCOs stood for that, obviously someone along the line didn't stand up for themselves.  If you haven't had a mess meeting yet, then call one ASAP.  You'll need to pass motions, but I would recommend you find out your arcs as to what...

Have your friend bring their military ID and see if he/she is still eligible.  I'm not sure but I think military personnel may be exempt in some jurisdictions.  Remind the judge about how class A reservists can get called up for natural disasters such as the BC forest fires a few years ago.  You...

Since they're flogging her stupid record during every freakin' commercial break, I have that stupid Lady Gaga song stuck in my head.  If you need choreography in your act, it sucks.

Further to my last, I've dealt with tradespeople when recruiting who have existing skills they feel would be an asset to the CF reserve.  If you're a mechanic and would like to be a vehicle tech then OK.  You'll still have to attend courses, use army tools and work on army equipment.  Withing...

Electrician, so apart from setting up the odd claymore it has nothing to do with my first trade as an infantryman.  My experience as an NCO ("Hey, you're a sergeant, you know how to deal with people") has led me to being thrown into a few supervisory roles on job sites and that has as many...

My worst three: Event Horizon A.I. Joy Luck Club - This was particularly bad as I was on a 747 and couldn't exactly storm out in disgust

I am undergoing a renaissance, having recently discovered the extensive array of Motorhead albums on iTunes. My wife is not going to let us name our firstborn son "Lemmy" but I'll keep going for subsequent offspring. 

I agree, but in its nature a pride parade is a political event or there would be no speeches, no politician would attend, nor would there be any media coverage.  It's not appropriate to wear the uniform to any political event.  If we can't comment on public policy while identifying ourselves...

An important issue here is when the uniform can be worn in public.  To me this issue goes beyond homosexual rights and the conflict that arises from tolerating the agenda of gay rights activists.  It's with some dismay that I hear of CF members wearing their uniforms to a pride parade, but not...

The comparisons to Viet Nam are not going away until the last baby boomer is no longer capable of purchasing a newspaper.  The MSM compared our initial forays into the Balkans to Viet Nam, I'm surprised they don't do it when we publicize our larger exercises out of pure reflex.  The main...
