    But this IS part of the deceptive plan! The UN is only a false front for Canadian World Domination!

    Well, I was wondering if anyone was on Ex in Poland at the moment...  >:D

    The Shaving Superthread- All You Want and More....

    I think that answers whether you can use an electric razor or not. As for the cornucopia of other products, it's a matter of whether you'll have room to store them with your personal effects (we had a shoe box on my course, don't know what the rule is now), and whether you'll have time to use...

    RCMP Info, discussion

    A buddy of mine went RCMP a few years back, and the gist of what I got was that they're looking for honesty (and therefore reliability) rather than sainthood. It would also depend on what one stole, i.e. the severity of the offense.  Making a career out of jacking cars and delivering them to...

    Advice for women on BMQ and other courses [MERGED]

    Now Tess, you can't behave here like you can over at the British Army Rumour Service!  (BTW, M-D-N's back!) And I want to second all the appreciation given to the cooks here! Their's is undeniably the hardest training in the Armed Forces. Because it certainly seems like no one's passed...

    Advice for women on BMQ and other courses [MERGED]

    When I joined, the Compulsory Retirement Age was 55, and you had to be able to complete a six year Basic Engagement before they'd let you sign.  So, the oldest you could be was 49. On my course in Cornwallis, we had someone who was exactly that.  A 49 year old grandmother.  She passed.  Even...

    "I'm a Sergeant" - said the Cadet

    COD, you admit that you know little of the cadets, and that you're Reg F. You should then know that when you salute, what you're saluting is not the officer, but the Queen who (through whatever administrative error) granted that officer their commission.  Period.  It has absolutely nothing to...

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    FWIW, in my rather limited experience, anyone from that level of "go faster" types, be it SAS, JTF2, Delta or whatever, never volunteer that they were.  If they feel they can trust you, and you privately ask them a direct question, you might get an honest answer. It's almost a guarantee that if...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    I have days like that too.  But, I don't like to spend ALL my time alone.

    Afghan Detainee Mega Thread

    As I read it, this would apply to Taliban prisoners held by the Canadian Forces at Kandahar - ONLY! This has nothing to do with other Taliban prisoners or the Taliban in general. Erm, exactly how many do we have, at the moment?

    Transgender in the CF (merged)

    Others have said it, and I agree, no one in this country has a right to employment.  You have a freedom to apply, but an employer (even the CF, or the government in general) is not obligated to employ you. I remember being asked one time, while I was working at the BC Supreme Court, "Where is...

    Man lied when giving blood

    IMHO, this is the crux of the issue.  The oft repeated confusion between rights and privileges that seems to be promulgated most vigorously by lawyers and higher educational institutions. :brickwall:

    Format of Memos

    "No matter how good you are, there's always someone better." If you keep that kind of attitude of yours when you cross paths with someone better at this than yourself (and higher rank)....  You might be wishin' you'd listen to that old retired git who told you to wind your neck in. Just sayin'...

    Wanna wring your neck in now, or shall some poor unfortunate superior have to do that for you?  >:D

    How are Chaplains perceived by other CF members?

    I can't dispute this guy's experince one iota.  But in my personal experience, I've never seen a Padre police anyones' language.  {Warning:  rabbit trail!}In fact, I've heard Padre's use some "colourful" language themselves (interestingly never anything remotely blasphemous, just a bit closer to...

    Format of Memos

    Ahh...  Good to know.  I knew that one of these days I'd end up the old guy that talks about "back in my day..." while everyone else tries to be polite and carry on with what they need to do.  :D It figures things would change like that.  I still remember when they took all the indenting out...

    Format of Memos

    AmmoTech90, Umm...  Maybe not.  Of course, I have to preface this with pointing out that I'm retired & I've been out of the Forces for about nine years now, but when I was in: "Dist List" was used just before the subject line, and "Distribution List" was spelled out in full below the signature...
