You know, you probably shouldn't hold your frustration in so much.  Speak your mind.  Let it out.  >:D Seriously though, well put, sir!

Uh, oh.  People will get ideas.  Puttees instead of blousing... >:D

I can't open the link, but I presume it would demonstrate that I'm showing my age. Sorry.  :facepalm: Hey, at least you don't have to chisel your memos into granite slabs anymore...  :D

I know!  Just what are some people thinking?!  Yeesh!

Maybe.  Don't forget: And actually, there is no national standard, as much as it is a national guideline. If you're talking about basic administration, it'd likely be in the 1000's somewhere.  Operations 3000's.  Training would be very likely in the 4500's.  But that's about as specific as...

And the Hennessey has the advantage of having a rain tarp with the same package.  Their a bit pricier, but if you can spare the dough, and you're hammock camping, the Hennessey is definitely the way to go! Just make sure you don't make the mistake of forgetting about some sort of mattress.  You...

From a job opportunity posting... for an unnamed security company, shall we say... under the "required skills" heading: "Ability to sit for extended periods of time and observe cameras." Odd, I've never really considered that a skill before...  Maybe I'll need to re-vamp my Curriculum Vitae...

I'm thoroughly with TV on this one. First though, I'll say Christian morality in it's entirety only applies to people who call themselves Christian.  Secularists, of course, are free to cherry-pick whatever seems compatible with their philosophy and inclinations. Now, I generally cringe when I...

I was a dumb 22 year old.  I had exactly zero exposure to the CF (no cadets, reserves or anything in the area I grew up in!), other than some of my grandfather's stories from when he lied about his age to get into the Army during WW1. The best thing to do is not give yourself the option to...

Yeah. Good attempt at portraying the high speed low/drag world.  Sure there were lots of technical inaccuracies, but I kinda expect that of TV and movies now.  After all, bad guys watch TV too, and you don't want a hyper-accurate TV show teaching the bad guys all our tricks, now do you?  I...

Ah!  Makes perfect sense then. Okay, I'll go back to listening silence now. Ivan

Thanks T18A!  I presume this was normal morning PT.  Is it usual to go running that far off base?

Okay.  My powers of search must be at a low ebb.  My apologies for starting a thread when there already was one (I honestly didn't see it though). Out of curiosity, since I'm not familiar with the Edmonton area, is this area where he went missing on or off base?

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2011/05/05/edmonton-soldier-missing-run-river-valley.html I did a search, and I didn't see any other threads started on this topic, so here it goes. Hope he's okay and found soon.

Hey! Don't put down my order like that!  :) And our habits aren't even white!

Words cannot express my despair...

Not sure what you mean by "reference numbers". If, by chance, you're looking for file numbers, these are unique to each unit.  You'd have to get that from your unit orderly room.  Call your company clerk, a clerk that you go drinking with, or wait until you get back. No one outside your unit...

It would be interesting if we could find chapter and verse for that!  I think it goes well with my...  somewhat loose...  translation of the name "Michael".  >:D

It's the combination of two Hebrew words:  "El" which means "God", and "Mika" which means "who is like?".  And in the ancient cultures of the Hebrews and the Arabs, a persons name was considered to be an expression of what was in their soul.  So the name Michael is a challenge to the enemies of...

Romans 13:4.  In the verse, St Paul is specifically talking about rulers (ie. kings and such), but by extension, also the military, as the military works for and under the command of the King, or in our case, Queen; so the "he" in the following verse can equally apply to both a ruler, and a...
