    LCol collapses during BFT - 14 Aug 09

    Absolutely - and I should have voiced the same sentiment in my earlier post.

    LCol collapses during BFT - 14 Aug 09

    I agree with you, basrah.  Except for two things: I HAVE seen a soldier pass out from heat exhaustion - granted he was a junior Private, and the CofC should have had a closer eye on him.  And the part about hydrating for a week before the BFT.  In various units I was proud to serve with (Cdn...

    New Subdivisions in Ottawa within 30-40mins of Downtown, reasonable prices?

    Both of you knock off the personal jabs - they're not necessary. STAFF As far as owning a new home - yes I have, and I won't do it again.  It does have it's own unique problems.  Such things as landscaping, fencing, warranty checks (hard to schedule), normal "settling" issues (wall cracks and...

    Religion tangent, split from: Military pushes overhaul of medal system

    No offense intended here, either.  I'm an "enlightened atheist" - as in enlightened enough not to disparage others' (especially my friends and neighbours) beliefs. And Tess:  I've already got a beard - you've already got some hats - maybe together we're Amish?

    I Love A Mark In Uniform -

    I seem to recall yearly compulsory lectures regarding such things as finances, estate planning, amongst other subjects which escape me at the moment. They usually occurred in the period immediately preceding Christmas Block Leave (at least in the various field units to which I belonged) - and...

    What does 'serving your country' really mean?

    I tend to agree with you regarding both points. I have ALWAYS been an advocate of some type of compulsory "National Service" - whether that service is military, or in some type of Peace Corps outfit (probably controlled by DFAIT), would be up to the individual.  Those in the Peace Corps thing...
